摘要: 模式匹配量子密钥分发一般使用弱相干光源作为信号光源,其中单光子成分较少,导致模式匹配量子密钥分发的密钥率受到较大限制。对此,提出了一种基于标记配对相干光源的模式匹配密钥分发协议,使用标记配对相干光源作为模式匹配量子密钥分发的信号光源,利用标记配对相干光源中单光子比例更高的优势,提高了模式匹配量子密钥分发的性能。在渐进和无穷多诱骗态的情况下,对所提协议的密钥率进行了数值模拟。仿真实验结果表明,所提协议与使用弱相干光源作为信号光源的模式匹配量子密钥分发协议相比,不仅有更高的密钥率,而且传输距离更远,当传输距离大于400 km时,所提协议在密钥率方面的优势更加明显。

Abstract: The key rate of mode-pairing quantum key distribution is limited because of using weak coherent sources as signal light sources, characterized by a limited single photon component. To address this problem, mode-pairing quantum key distribution based on heralded pair-coherent source is proposed, the heralded pair-coherent source is used as the signal light source in mode-pairing quantum key distribution. Due to the higher proportion of single photons in the heralded pair-coherent source, the performance of mode-pairing quantum key distribution is significantly improved. The numerical simulation is carried out in the cases of asymptotic and infinite decoy states. The result shows that the proposed protocol outperforms the mode-pairing quantum key distribution based on the weak coherent source, achieving not only a higher key rate but also a longer communication distance. The proposed protocol demonstrates a significant advantage in terms of the key rate when the transmission distance exceeds 400 km.
