摘要:

量子密码学允许机密信息在双方之间进行通信,保密性仅由自然法则保证。然而,在量子通信网络上维护有保证的保密性提出了进一步的挑战,因为经典的接收和重发路由节点只能在通信方信任的条件下使用。在这里,我们演示了1公里光纤上的量子中继的操作,该光纤通过利用半导体LED发射的纠缠光子将光子量子比特序列传送到接收器。链路的平均中继保真度为0.90+/-0.03,超过了所使用的状态集的经典界限0.75,并且足够高以允许纠错。从根本上讲,低多光子发射统计和集成潜力的来源提出了一个有吸引力的平台,为未来的量子网络。

英文摘要:

Quantum cryptography allows confidential information to be communicated between two parties, with secrecy guaranteed by the laws of nature alone. However, upholding guaranteed secrecy over quantum communication networks poses a further challenge, as classical receive-and-resend routing nodes can only be used conditional of trust by the communicating parties. Here, we demonstrate the operation of a quantum relay over 1 km of optical fiber, which teleports a sequence of photonic quantum bits to a receiver by utilizing entangled photons emitted by a semiconductor LED. The average relay fidelity of the link is 0.90+/-0.03, exceeding the classical bound of 0.75 for the set of states used, and sufficiently high to allow error correction. The fundamentally low multi-photon emission statistics and the integration potential of the source present an appealing platform for future quantum networks.
