CV量子密钥分发中的噪声功率放大

Noise powered amplification in CV quantum key distribution

Petr Marek, Radim Filip

摘要:

放大在经典通信协议中起着关键作用,它可以补偿不可避免的信号损失。然而,当我们进入量子领域时,这种方法开始出现问题,因为标准类型的放大器通常伴随着过量的噪声,这会间接影响所使用状态的量子特征。最近,已经提出了几种不受此特征影响的“无噪声”放大器。在这些放大器中,一个突出的是噪声功率放大器,它的行为是不相干的,通过添加“正确”的噪声放大信号。在这里,我们表明,尽管不相干,这使得放大器不适合的协议,如纠缠蒸馏,增加的噪声是不是一个大问题,在量子密钥分发任务,可以在某些情况下是有益的。

英文摘要:

Amplification plays a key role in classical communication protocols, where it compensates the unavoidable loss of the signal. However, when we enter the quantum domain this approach starts being problematic as the standard kinds of amplifiers are usually accompanied by excess noise which detrimentally affects the quantum features of used states. Recently, several kinds of "noiseless" amplifiers that do not suffer from this feature have been proposed. Among these amplifiers, one that stands out is the noise powered amplifier, which acts incoherently, amplifying the signal by adding the "right" kind of noise. Here we show that despite the incoherence, which makes the amplifier unsuitable for protocols such as entanglement distillation, the added noise is not a big problem in quantum key distribution tasks and can be in some situations beneficial.
