摘要:

测量设备无关量子密钥分发(MDI-QKD)协议的提出旨在消除探测器侧信道攻击。由于相干态光源存在多光子事件,MDI-QKD协议在实际部署中必须采用诱骗态来抵御光子数分离攻击。近来,基于弱相干态的MDI-QKD诱骗态已得到研究。本文提出采用修正相干态(MCS)光源来执行MDI-QKD协议。我们模拟了基于MCS光源并结合诱骗态的MDI-QKD性能。仿真表明,使用MCS光源后,安全密钥率和传输距离均可得到明显提升。这种提升背后的物理原因在于:MCS发生多光子事件的概率低于弱相干态,同时其单光子概率更高。

英文摘要:

The measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) protocol has been proposed for the purpose of removing the detector side channel attacks. Due to the multi-photon events of coherent states sources, real-life implementations of MDI-QKD protocol must employ decoy states to beat the photon-number-splitting attack. Decoy states for MDI-QKD based on the weak coherent states have been studied recently. In this paper, we propose to perform MDI-QKD protocol with modified coherent states (MCS) sources. We simulate the performance of MDI-QKD with the decoy states based on MCS sources. And our simulation indicates that both the secure-key rate and transmission distance can be improved evidently with MCS sources.The physics behind this improvement is that the probability of multi-photon events of the MCS is lower than that of weak coherent states while at the same time the probability of single-photon is higher.
