使用OMNeT ++对量子光器件、脉冲和光纤通道进行建模
Modeling Quantum Optical Components, Pulses and Fiber Channels Using OMNeT++
摘要：
量子密钥分发（QKD）是一种创新技术，它利用量子力学定律来生成和分发无条件安全的加密密钥。虽然QKD提供了无条件安全的密钥分发的承诺，但现实世界的系统是由非理想组件构建的，这需要建模和理解这些非理想因素对系统性能和安全性的影响。OMNeT++已被用来作为基础，开发一个模拟框架，以支持这一努力。该框架被称为“qkdX”，它扩展了OMNeT++的模块和消息抽象，以有效地对光学组件、光脉冲、操作协议和流程进行建模。本文介绍了这个框架的设计，包括如何利用OMNeT++的抽象来建模量子光学元件，光脉冲，光纤和自由空间信道。此外，从我们的工具箱中创建的组件，我们提出了各种概念和真实的QKD系统，已经研究和分析。
英文摘要：
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is an innovative technology which exploits the laws of quantum mechanics to generate and distribute unconditionally secure cryptographic keys. While QKD offers the promise of unconditionally secure key distribution, real world systems are built from non-ideal components which necessitates the need to model and understand the impact these non-idealities have on system performance and security. OMNeT++ has been used as a basis to develop a simulation framework to support this endeavor. This framework, referred to as "qkdX" extends OMNeT++'s module and message abstractions to efficiently model optical components, optical pulses, operating protocols and processes. This paper presents the design of this framework including how OMNeT++'s abstractions have been utilized to model quantum optical components, optical pulses, fiber and free space channels. Furthermore, from our toolbox of created components, we present various notional and real QKD systems, which have been studied and analyzed.
