An Adaptive Quantum Key Distribution Framework Using Fuzzy Reinforcement Learning for Secure Communication

D. Nagarajan, J C Kavitha, D Subitha

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) has the main advantage of providing unconditional security, which is a consequence of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. For decades, key quantum distribution system has been the technological heart of security systems. However, the existing real QKD approaches have performance limitations. The channel experiences interference, photon loss, and fluctuations in eavesdropping conditions that reduce the efficiency and reliability of key generation. To address these issues, a fuzzy reinforcement learning-enhanced quantum key distribution (FRL-QKD) system is proposed to obtain secure and adaptable quantum communications. The integrated network combines fuzzy logic with reinforcement learning (RL) to expedite the localization of the photon polarization basis selection, control of key rates, and identification of error correction thresholds for optimized key generation. Fuzzy inference mechanisms are utilized within the FRL-QKD model to interpret an ambiguous environment. This first-stage implementation of the symbiosis of quantum cryptography, fuzzy intelligence and adaptive learning is a potent resource for future quantum-secure communications.

Polarization Drift Compensation for Quantum Key Distribution Using Machine Learning

Pavel A. Kupriyanov, Nikita Rudavin, David Kagramanyan +3 more

Abstract In various applications of optical communications, such as quantum key distribution (QKD) systems, the task of polarization control in optical fiber arises. A polarization controller (PC) on the receiver side is used to solve this problem. In our work, we investigate two machine learning approaches to polarization control: supervised learning (SL) and reinforcement learning (RL). We generalised analytical solution of the polarization control problem using SL-approach. Supervised learning algorithm was trained on simulations and then was validated in experimental setup. We compared supervised approach with analytical solution. The advantage of RL approach based on the capability of approximating nonlinear effects related to the imperfections of detection process. For the effective operation of polarization control algorithms, knowledge of the parameters of the PC is required. Reinforcement learning agent also eliminates control hardware calibration procedures, since the agent recognize necessary system parameters based on the experience of interacting with the environment. RL-agent was firstly pretrained on simulations and then was fine-tuned on the practical QKD system. We demonstrated that RL-agent’s tuning provides the 10% quantum bit error rate (QBER) on our setup, and converges in 10 steps.
