Quantum Key Distribution Protocol Optimization Based on Quantum Decoherence
Jincheng Zhang
This paper investigates the optimization of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols based on quantum decoherence. The core claim is to enhance key generation rates and security through intelligent protocol parameter tuning. Leveraging machine learning algorithms, we analyze the impact of decoherence noise, aiming to improve key generation efficiency and security. The proposed approach represents a novel application of machine learning within QKD, offering a significant pathway towards improved key distribution performance. We present a framework for adaptive parameter control, demonstrating the potential for substantial gains in key rates and robustness against decoherence effects. The research focuses on theoretical optimization, without experimental validation, providing a robust mathematical framework for understanding and improving current QKD protocols. The key performance metrics considered are key generation rate (R), Bit Error Rate (BER), and security level (Φ). The work contributes to the field by outlining a systematic methodology for utilizing machine learning to tackle the inherent challenges of decoherence in QKD systems. ---
