Description

Chirp-based continuous variable quantum key distribution method and system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of quantum communication, and particularly relates to a chirp-based continuous variable quantum key distribution method and system.
Background
With the development of economic technology and the improvement of living standard of people, communication has been extensively deepened into the production and life of people, and brings endless convenience to the production and life of people. With the advent of the intelligent era and the data era, the security of communication data is more and more emphasized by people.
The quantum key distribution can ensure that both legal communication parties can safely share the key in an untrusted quantum channel, and the safety of the legal communication parties is ensured by the inaccuracy measurement principle of quantum mechanics and the quantum unclonable theorem. Currently, quantum key distribution is divided into two directions of discrete variable and continuous variable by the difference of information carriers. Compared with a discrete variable quantum key distribution protocol, the quantum state of the continuous variable quantum key distribution protocol is easier to prepare and can be integrated into the existing optical fiber system, so that the continuous variable quantum key distribution scheme is easier to enter the commercialization field.
In a continuous variable quantum key distribution scheme over short distances (below 20 km), the use of direct modulators and direct detection can be cost effective to facilitate faster commercialization. However, in transmissions over 20km, the use of a direct modulation and direct detection distribution scheme will result in a significant performance loss due to the presence of significant dispersion in the channel. Therefore, the industry has adopted solutions based on external modulation and coherent detection, which exhibit good performance and cost performance over transmission distances of over 1000 km. However, the use of external modulation and coherent detection at medium-range transmissions of 20-1000 km has the following disadvantages: (1) the scheme has huge cost and low neutral price ratio when used in a medium-distance transmission scheme; (2) the external modulator is too bulky to be integrated into a compact transmitter optical assembly.
In order to solve the above problems, I/O transmitters based on direct modulators have been proposed, but this scheme relies on complex optical injection locking, requires a high performance laser in addition to the direct modulator, and is costly. In addition, a VCSEL-based DP PAM-4 transmitter has also been proposed. However, this scheme only performs sign determination based on the light intensity at the receiving end, discarding the phase information, resulting in a large performance gap from the conventional scheme. Therefore, in the middle-distance transmission, a better technical scheme which has both cost and performance at the same time does not exist at present.
