Dynamic Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution for Securing a Future Global Quantum Network

Mikhael Sayat, Sebastian P. Kish, Ping Koy Lam +2 more

Abstract Continuous variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) is a developing method to secure information exchange in future quantum networks. With the recent developments in quantum technology and greater access to space, a global quantum network secured by CVQKD can be within reach. In this work, the structures of existing QKD networks are analyzed, and how they can be fit into a general overarching three‐layer QKD network architecture for the endeavor of a global QKD network. Such a network can comprise different links in fiber and free‐space. The finite size limit secret key rates (SKRs) with multidimensional reconciliation are calculated for the different links for which CVQKD can be used in such a network. The results show that CVQKD generally achieves longer distances and larger SKRs in inter‐satellite, satellite‐to‐ground, fiber, and underwater links in descending order. The different links and nodes are classified and secret key distribution is studied as a graph problem. The link capacity, a routing metric for secret key distribution, which considers a dynamic SKR based on dynamic links is presented. Its use in simulated CVQKD networks is presented for the aim of spatiotemporal secret key distribution through a dynamic CVQKD network.
