纠缠高斯态下量子密钥分发协议的有效性

Efficiency in Quantum Key Distribution Protocols with Entangled Gaussian States

C. Rodó, O. Romero-Isart, K. Eckert, A. Sanpera

摘要:

量子密钥分发(QKD)是指允许在希望秘密通信的两方之间安全地分发秘密密钥的特定量子策略。量子密码学已经被证明在理想情况下是无条件安全的,并且已经成功地使用具有有限(离散)以及无限(连续)自由度的量子态来实现。在这里,我们分析了量子密钥分配协议的效率,使用纠缠高斯态和高斯运算作为资源。在这个框架中,已经表明QKD是可能的(M。Navascués等人,Phys. Rev. Lett. 94,010502(2005)),但其效率问题尚未被考虑。我们提出了一个品质因数(效率$E$)来量化经典相关位的数量,这些相关位可用于从$N$纠缠态的样本中提取密钥。我们将协议的效率与各方之间共享的状态的纠缠度和纯度联系起来。

英文摘要:

Quantum key distribution (QKD) refers to specific quantum strategies which permit the secure distribution of a secret key between two parties that wish to communicate secretly. Quantum cryptography has proven unconditionally secure in ideal scenarios and has been successfully implemented using quantum states with finite (discrete) as well as infinite (continuous) degrees of freedom. Here, we analyze the efficiency of QKD protocols that use as a resource entangled gaussian states and gaussian operations only. In this framework, it has already been shown that QKD is possible (M. Navascués et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 010502 (2005)) but the issue of its efficiency has not been considered. We propose a figure of merit (the efficiency $E$) to quantify the number of classical correlated bits that can be used to distill a key from a sample of $N$ entangled states. We relate the efficiency of the protocol to the entanglement and purity of the states shared between the parties.
