Abstract:

In order to improve the key generation rate of the quantum key distribution protocols, a perfect complete orthogonal basis of the bipartite three-level system was constructed. By using this basis and swapping the entanglement between the particles, a quantum key distribution protocol was presented. Therefore, a three-level can be generalized to multi-level. Using entanglement swapping between the particles and multi-level key distribution, it can significantly improve the efficiency of the detection of eavesdropping and the key generation rate and the information flux.

Key words: quantum key distribution, entanglement swapping, orthonormal basis
