Compared with intercept- resend strategy, our simulation results of the basis-splitting scheme under the non-ideal condition show a greater performance, especially with the increase of the length of shifted bits. Consequently our scheme can aid eaves- dropper to gather much more useful information.展开更多

Theoretically, it is unconditionally secure because it is based on the quantum laws of physics, rather than the assumed computational complexity of mathematical problems. BB84 protocol performances can be reduced by various errors and information leakages such as limited intrinsic efficiency of the protocol, imperfect devices and eavesdropping. The proposed reconciliation method allowed to weed out these errors by using Turbo codes. Since their high error correction capability implies getting low errors, this method has high performance especially when compared to the last method presented in the literature based on Low-Density Parity Check codes (LDPC). In particular, we demonstrate that our method leads to a significant improvement of the protocol security and of the Bit Error Rate (BER) even with great eavesdropping capability.展开更多

Subsequently, hybrid quantum private communication with discrete-variable signals, continuous-variable signals, and classic optical signals becomes inevitable in the practical scenario. In this paper, we experimentally investigated the mutual effects between the discrete-variable QKD(DVQKD) and the continuous-variable QKD(CVQKD) via a fiber channel. The experimental results show that the DVQKD will be influenced by the continuous-variable quantum signals and classic optical signals, while the CVQKD is not sensitive to the discrete-variable quantum signals.展开更多
