Abstract

We use multi-plane light conversion to realize up to 25-dimensional quantum key distribution with spatially entangled photons, and design measurement bases that reduce the experimental complexity and improve the error distribution.

Space-division multiplexed quantum key distribution exploiting multi-plane light conversion for few-mode fibers

Qian Zhang, Stefan Krause, Felix Kunzmann +1 more

As quantum key distribution (QKD) progresses from laboratory demonstrations toward practical deployment, quantum communi- cation networks increasingly require higher key rates and the ability to distribute independent secret keys among multiple users and network nodes. In this paper we present a promsing approach with multi-plane light conversion (MPLC) for demultiplexing entangled photons, transmitted through a few-mode fiber (FMF). We experimentally demonstrated a spatially multiplexed BBM92 QKD scheme. The modes are selectively excited through separate single-mode-fibers and subsequently separated by MPLC into distinct output ports. Unlike high-dimensional QKD based on coherent modal superpositions, our approach exploits distinguishable guided modes as parallel channels while preserving the entanglement required for QKD. For the multiplexed links, we obtain quantum bit error rates of $1.9 \pm 0.4\%$ for the channel 1 and $6.8 \pm 0.8\%$ for the channel 2. These results are relevant for scalable quantum-secured networks, space-division-multiplexed QKD systems, multi-user entanglement distribution, and future quantum internet architectures, where parallel quantum channels must be implemented without compromising the quantum correlations required for security.
