Network Coding Aided Hybrid EB/PM Satellite-based FSO/QKD Systems

Minh Q. Vu, Hoang D. Le, Ngoc The Dang +1 more

This paper addresses the design of global-scale free-space optics/quantum key distribution (FSO/QKD) networks comprising geostationary (GEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. In particular, we present a novel implementation of network coding aided hybrid entanglement-based/prepare-and-measure (EB/PM) for satellite continuous-variable QKD (CV-QKD) using a dual-threshold/direct-detection (DT/DD) scheme. The system performance is analyzed in terms of final key-creation rates by considering the effects of atmospheric turbulence, receiver noise, and unauthorized receiver attack (URA) from eavesdroppers. Also, we investigate the feasibility of a case study for the existing GEO and LEO satellites from Japan QKD network.

Optical modulation schemes for frequency-coded quantum key distribution

Pradeep K Kumar

We discuss possible modulation schemes to implement BB84 and B92 quantum key distribution protocols using frequency-coding method. We derive time evolution of quantum states of light in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer based optical intensity modulator. We then show that phase modulator-phase modulator (PM-PM) combination can be used to implement the B92 protocol and intensity modulator-intensity modulator (IM-IM) combination can be used to implement the BB84 protocol. However, the combinations-PM-IM or IM-PM-cannot be used to implement BB84 and B92 protocols using frequency-coding method. Finally, we discuss the security of frequency-coded implementation of B92 protocol.

Modulation schemes for frequency coded quantum key distribution

GUILHERME BARRETO XAVIER, Jean Pierre von der Weid

Frequency coding has been presented as a new alternative for qubits transmission on QKD systems. In this work we present an analysis of the different possibilities for modulation (amplitude or phase) in face of the BB84 and B92 protocols within systems employing frequency coding. It will be shown that schemes employing phase modulation both at Alice and Bob (PM-PM) are equivalent, in the sense that the classical BB84 protocol cannot be applied, to schemes using solely amplitude modulation (AM-AM). We present a new modulation scheme employing a combination of phase and amplitude modulation (AM-PM) which can accommodate classical BB84.
