Quantum key distribution using single photon added-subtracted squeezed coherent state

Y. Oulouda, Mohammed El Falaki, Daoud, Mohamed

In this paper we investigate the security of continuous variable BB84 quantum key distribution protocol using single photon added then subtracted squeezed coherent state SPASSCS. It's found that the SPASSCS is a non-Gaussian and nonclassical state. Its non-Gaussianity and non-classicality are exhibited via the Wigner function. It's shown that the proposed state is generally robust against the eavesdropping strategies, such as intercept-resend attack and superior channel attack. Further, a comparative study has proved the strong efficiency of the proposed state over coherent state, squeezed coherent state and photon added then subtracted coherent state. Our analysis employs bit error rate, mutual information, and secure key gain.

Non-Gaussian operations in measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution

Jaskaran Singh, Soumyakanti Bose

Non-Gaussian operations in continuous variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD) have been limited to photon subtraction on squeezed vacuum states only. This is mainly due to the ease of calculating the covariance matrix representation of such states. In this paper we study the effects of general non-Gaussian operations corresponding to photon addition, catalysis, and subtraction on squeezed coherent states on CV measurement-device-independent (MDI) QKD. We find that non-Gaussianity coupled with coherence can yield significantly longer transmission distances than without. Particularly we observe that zero photon catalysis on the two-mode squeezed coherent state (TMSC) is an optimal choice for CV MDI QKD, while single photon subtraction is also a good candidate; both of them offer nearly 70 km of transmission distances. We also derive a single generalized covariance matrix for the aforementioned states which will be useful in several other aspects of CV quantum information processing.
