Inter-Symbol-Interference Reduction in Continuous Variable QKD Using Equalization

Xinke Tang, Rupesh Kumar, D. G. Cunningham +3 more

Inter-symbol-interference (ISI) noise in Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution (CVQKD) is caused by the overlap between the consecutive detected signals. In practice, this problem limits the repetition rate of the quantum signals for a given bandwidth detector and hence reduces the rate of secure key generation. We propose a method of using equalization to mitigate ISI noise in CVQKD systems. Its feasibility is studied using an analytical model with practical parameters. The improved performance of CVQKD detection is investigated using secure key analysis. The simulation results show an increase of 12.8 Mbits/s in secure key rate for a 1GHz bandwidth CVQKD system operating over a 20 km link.

Generalized security analysis framework for continuous-variable quantum key distribution

Vladyslav C. Usenko

Security of practical continuous-variable quantum key distribution is addressed and a security analysis framework, which does not rely on phase-space symmetries of signal states and correlations, is developed. In a general purification-based approach, following optimality of Gaussian collective attacks, it is suggested to find an equivalent generally mixed two-mode state shared between the trusted parties and then purifying it using Bloch-Messiah decomposition. This allows to assess security of the schemes with arbitrary parameters, which can be typically expected in experiments. It also allows to theoretically predict the role of asymmetries of signals and correlations on security of the protocols. The method can be used for security analysis of practical continuous-variable schemes directly from the measured data without any symmetrization assumptions.
