Abstract

We investigated the possibility of practical implementation of a quantum communication link for encryption key distribution between a Micius satellite and a mobile ground optical station. Thanks to theoretical estimation numerical values of the main parameters of such a communication link are obtained: total loss, key generation rate and secret key length, as well as quantum bit error rate.

Semi-Empirical Satellite-to-Ground Quantum Key Distribution Model for Realistic Receivers

Satellite-based link analysis is valuable for efficient and secure quantum communication, despite seasonal limits and restrictions on transmission times. A semi-empirical quantum key distribution model for satellite-based systems was proposed that simplifies simulations of communication links. Unlike other theoretical models, our approach was based on the experimentally-determined atmospheric extinction coefficient typical for mid-latitude ground stations. The parameter was measured for both clear and foggy conditions, and it was validated using published experimental data from the Micius satellite. Using this model, we simulated secure QKD between the Micius satellite and ground stations with 300 mm and 600 mm aperture telescopes.

Finite key effects in satellite quantum key distribution

Abstract Global quantum communications will enable long-distance secure data transfer, networked distributed quantum information processing, and other entanglement-enabled technologies. Satellite quantum communication overcomes optical fibre range limitations, with the first realisations of satellite quantum key distribution (SatQKD) being rapidly developed. However, limited transmission times between satellite and ground station severely constrains the amount of secret key due to finite-block size effects. Here, we analyse these effects and the implications for system design and operation, utilising published results from the Micius satellite to construct an empirically-derived channel and system model for a trusted-node downlink employing efficient Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84) weak coherent pulse decoy states with optimised parameters. We quantify practical SatQKD performance limits and examine the effects of link efficiency, background light, source quality, and overpass geometries to estimate long-term key generation capacity. Our results may guide design and analysis of future missions, and establish performance benchmarks for both sources and detectors.

Improving Estimates of the Length of a Secret Key in the Channel of an Earth Satellite

Egor I. Ivchenko, A. V. Khmelev, V. L. Kurochkin

Abstract The length of a secret sequence is studied and optimized, depending on the communication session’s splitting of intervals the quantum distribution of the key between a satellite and the ground station. The proposed technique can greatly increase the rate of key generation, due to dynamically changing channel parameters.

Eurasian-scale experimental satellite-based quantum key distribution with detector efficiency mismatch analysis

A. V. Khmelev, Alexey V. Duplinsky, Ruslan M. Bakhshaliev +9 more

The Micius satellite is the pioneering initiative to demonstrate quantum teleportation, entanglement distribution, quantum key distribution (QKD), and quantum-secured communications experiments at the global scale. In this work, we report on the results of the 600-mm-aperture ground station design which has enabled the establishment of a quantum-secured link between the Zvenigorod and Nanshan ground stations using the Micius satellite. As a result of a quantum communications session, an overall sifted key of 2.5 Mbits and a total final key length of 310 kbits have been obtained. We present an extension of the security analysis of the realization of satellite-based QKD decoy-state protocol by taking into account the effect of the detection-efficiency mismatch for four detectors. We also simulate the QKD protocol for the satellite passage and by that validate our semi-empirical model for a realistic receiver, which is in good agreement with the experimental data. Our results pave the way to the considerations of realistic imperfection of the QKD systems, which are important in the context of their practical security.
