Effects of ocean turbulence on photon orbital angular momentum quantum communication

Rui-Xi Liu, Лей Ма

The effect of the turbulent motion of ocean on the quantum communication based on the orbital angular momentum in an underwater quantum channel is studied in this work. Based on the power spectrum model of ocean turbulence proposed by Elamassie, the quantitative relationships of different ocean turbulence parameters with the single photon detection probability of orbital angular momentum photons, the channel capacity, the key generation rate, the concurrence of two entangled photons are proposed. The maximum entanglement distance of the orbital angular momentum entangled photon-pairs in the ocean turbulence is further studied by the universal entanglement decay of the concurrence of entangled photon-pairs in the ocean turbulence. The results show that the detection probability of single photon, the channel capacity, the key generation rate, and the concurrence of entangled photon-pairs decrease with the increase of the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy and the decrease of the rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature. The influence of the temperature and salinity balance parameter of ocean turbulence on the performance of underwater quantum communication are significantly different under the condition of whether the stable stratification of seawater is assumed or not. In the ocean turbulent environment, the increasing of the initial orbital angular momentum quantum number of signal photons can improve the key generation rate of quantum key distribution and the resistance of entangled photons to entanglement decay.

Performance of Ship-Based QKD Under the Influence of Sea-Surface Atmospheric Turbulence

Guiying Jiang, Yaping Li, Xiao-Han Li +5 more

There are numerous studies on the effects of ocean turbulence on wireless optical communications and on satellite–ground quantum key distribution (QKD); however, there are few studies on the impact of near sea-surface turbulence on ship-based QKD performance. This study investigates the influence of sea-surface atmospheric turbulence on laser beam propagation, atmospheric scintillation, and aiming error. It focuses on the impact of sea-surface turbulence on the performance of satellite-to-ship QKD and ship-to-ship QKD systems. The results show that strong turbulence severely degrades QKD system performance; horizontal transmission distances change from 32 km (weak turbulence) to 3 km (strong turbulence) in ship-to-ship QKD.

Secrecy performance analysis of a IRS-assisted underwater optical wireless communication system

Tien Sy Dang, Van Thang Nguyen, Cao Van Toan +1 more

In response to the dearth of radio frequency (RF) equivalents, there has been a recent surge in interest in optical wireless communication in underwater environments. To ensure a strong line-of-sight (LOS) connection, the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is installed to create a virtual LOS. Then, the first part of this study looks into the security of underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) in relation to a number of real-world phenomena, including oceanic propagation loss, oceanic turbulence, and IRS-induced geometric loss. Then, a wiretap channel with three authorized users - a reputable broadcaster named Alice (the submarine), a law-abiding user named Bob, and an eavesdropper named Eve - is examined over turbulent channels that exhibit the Log-normal distribution. Furthermore, our study derives the closed-form formulas for the secrecy performance measures, secrecy outage probability, and secrecy throughput. Finally, the numerical results show how the impact of oceanic turbulence-induced fading and distance between Bob’s and Eve’s positions on the secrecy system performance.
