Quantum cryptography using photon “frequency” states (example of a possible realization)

S. N. Molotkov

Published Aug 1, 1998• 9 citations

Abstract

A quantum cryptosystem is proposed using single-photon states with different frequency spectra as information carriers. A possible experimental implementation of the cryptosystem is discussed.

Quantum Cryptography

Dag Roar Hjelme, Lars Lydersen, Vadim Makarov

When information is transmitted in microscopic systems, such as single photons (single light particles) or atoms, its information carriers obey quantum rather than classical physics. This offers many new possibilities for information processing, since it is possible to invent novel information processes prevented by classical physics.

Quantum cryptography based on homodyne detection (vacuum-state cryptosystem)

S. N. Molotkov, S. S. Nazin

A new protocol is proposed for quantum cryptography. The protocol is based on the use of a set of measurements which make it possible to reconstruct completely the density matrix — the information carrier — of a physical system. Such a protocol can be implemented by means of homodyne detection (well known in quantum optics) of an electromagnetic field. An example is given of a quantum cryptosystem in which the vacuum state of the photon field is used as one of two information states.

We review the field of quantum cryptography starting from the basic physical principles, discussing the classical information concepts involved, and review the experimental status. Finally, we discuss possible extensions of quantum cryptography beyond secret key generation, given that practical handling of multi quantum bit systems becomes feasible.

Cryptography with stochastic photons

R. N. Shakhmuratov, Зиннатуллин А.Л., Farit G. Vagizov

Abstract Quantum cryptography protocols are based on the use of quantum objects with at least two orthogonal states, for example, the polarization states of a photon. We propose a completely different cryptography protocol using a stochastic flow of single photons. Our method is based on the stochastic decay of an ensemble of radioactive nuclei randomly emitting a stream of γ -photons. We have experimentally demonstrated the transmission of classical information containing binary bits. Reading this information requires precise knowledge of the repetition rate of its sending. Otherwise, it is impossible to make the transmitted information visible, since it will be lost in the noise.
