摘要:

我们介绍了一个强大的计划,长距离连续变量(CV)的测量设备无关(MDI)的量子密钥分发(QKD)中,我们采用后选择之间的通信通过一个不可信的中继介质的遥远的各方。我们进行了安全分析,允许一般transmittance和热噪声方差的每个链接,其中我们假设一个窃听者进行集体攻击,并控制多余的热噪声的通道。后选择的引入使各方能够在超过现有CV MDI协议的距离上维持秘密密钥速率。在最坏的情况下,中继器位于它们之间的等距位置,我们发现,各方可以在标准光纤中的14公里范围内安全地进行通信。我们的协议有助于克服以前提出的CV MDI协议的速率距离限制,同时保持其许多优点。

英文摘要:

We introduce a robust scheme for long-distance continuous-variable (CV) measurement-device-independent (MDI) quantum key distribution (QKD) in which we employ post-selection between distant parties communicating through the medium of an untrusted relay. We perform a security analysis that allows for general transmissivity and thermal noise variance of each link, in which we assume an eavesdropper performs a collective attack and controls the excess thermal noise in the channels. The introduction of post-selection enables the parties to sustain a secret key rate over distances exceeding those of existing CV MDI protocols. In the worst-case scenario in which the relay is positioned equidistant between them, we find that the parties may communicate securely over a range of 14 km in standard optical fiber. Our protocol helps to overcome the rate-distance limitations of previously proposed CV MDI protocols while maintaining many of their advantages.
