Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper investigates the optimization of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols leveraging the principles of quantum coherence draining. The core claim centers on utilizing the inherent properties of coherence draining to enhance key generation efficiency and overall security within QKD systems. The proposed mechanism involves the design of quantum gate circuits predicated on coherence draining, enabling efficient key generation and error correction, alongside a rigorous study of the impact of these draining characteristics on protocol security. The research addresses the need for improved QKD performance and robust security by exploring novel approaches to managing decoherence, a significant limitation in current QKD implementations. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of coherence draining's potential role in shaping more effective and secure quantum communication systems. Specifically, the investigation includes analyzing different decoherence models and their corresponding mitigation strategies within the framework of optimized QKD protocols. The core objective is to demonstrate a quantifiable improvement in key generation rate and security margins through strategic application of coherence draining techniques. ---
