Background
Quantum key distribution technology combines quantum physics principles with modern communication technologies. The quantum key distribution ensures the security of the key negotiation process and results in different places by virtue of a physical principle, and can realize secret communication independent of algorithm complexity by combining with a one-time pad encryption technology.
At present, quantum cryptography mainly uses light quanta as a carrier for realization, and the light quanta are distributed through free space or optical fiber channels. The quantum key distribution equipment loads classical random bits on physical quantities such as polarization, phase and time of light quanta by various optical modulation equipment according to the requirements of different quantum key distribution protocols for transmission, thereby realizing the distribution of quantum keys.

Time phase encoding is one of the quantum state encoding modes. For time phase encoding, it typically requires the QKD system transmitter to prepare four states that are resolved on the phase measurement basis and the time measurement basis, which are states |0 in the Z-basis, respectively>And state |1>And states in the Y radical

Wherein the two states in the Z-base represent the states in which the optical pulse exists only in the preceding time stamp or the following time stamp, respectively, and the states in the Y-base are the same as those in a general phase encoding system, i.e., the states in which the optical pulses on two adjacent time stamps are different in phase by 90 degrees or 270 degrees. An encoding module is required at the transmitting end of the time-phase QKD system to implement the modulation of the tailored optical quantum states.
Meanwhile, the QKD optical integrated chip is a very important research direction all over the world nowadays, and various optical systems originally based on various independent optical devices can be integrated into a chip with a very small volume by using the technology, so that the cost is greatly reduced firstly, and the application range of the QKD technology can be greatly enlarged secondly.

The first optical fiber waveguide coupler is connected with a first optical fiber and used for coupling and connecting the first optical fiber with a waveguide line on the optical waveguide chip, and the second optical fiber waveguide coupler is connected with a second optical fiber and used for coupling and connecting the second optical fiber with the waveguide line on the optical waveguide chip. The first beam splitter, the first phase modulation module, the second beam splitter, the optical waveguide delay module, the beam combiner and each waveguide line of the embodiment are etched on the optical waveguide chip.
The first optical fiber is used for receiving incident optical pulses and coupling the received optical pulses into the optical waveguide chip through the first optical fiber waveguide coupler, the optical pulses are transmitted to the first beam splitter along a waveguide line in the optical waveguide chip, the first beam splitter divides the optical pulses into two optical pulses, one optical pulse enters the second beam splitter after passing through the first phase modulation module, the other optical pulse enters the second beam splitter after passing through the second phase modulation module, the two optical pulses are combined and interfered in the second beam splitter, the interference result is emitted from two exit ports of the second beam splitter, the optical pulses emitted from one exit port of the second beam splitter enter the beam combiner through the optical waveguide delay module on the waveguide line, the optical pulses emitted from the other exit port of the second beam splitter directly enter the beam combiner through the waveguide line, and the beam combiner outputs the optical pulses to the second optical fiber waveguide coupler after combining, the second fiber waveguide coupler emits the light pulse through a second optical fiber.
The meanings and meanings of the individual components in FIG. 2 are as follows:
(1) the first optical fiber waveguide coupler and the second optical fiber waveguide coupler have the same structure and are also called optical fiber chip end face coupling, and the purpose is to couple an optical fiber with a waveguide line on an optical waveguide chip and enable optical pulses to enter a chip waveguide.
(2) The first beam splitter is used for splitting the light pulse into two according to the proportion of 50: 50. A Y-branch splitter, i.e. a Y-shaped waveguide splitter, can be used here, but also a directly coupled splitter (DC splitter) or a multimode interferometer splitter (MMI splitter) can be used instead, with the same effect.
(3) The first phase modulation module and the second phase modulation module have the same structure and are used for rapidly modulating the phase of the optical pulse.
(4) A second beam splitter: a DC beam splitter, namely a 50:50 beam splitter, can be adopted, two beams of light pulses respectively passing through the first phase modulation module and the second phase modulation module are combined and interfered at the DC beam splitter, and the interference result is emitted from two emitting ports of the DC beam splitter. The DC splitter can here be replaced by an MMI splitter, which has the same effect.
(5) The optical waveguide delay module is used for time-delaying the optical pulse, is positioned on the upper arm in fig. 2, so that the optical pulse on the upper arm has a time difference relative to the optical pulse on the lower arm, and the module is generally a long-wave wire, so that the delay length is determined by the length of the waveguide wire.
(6) The beam combiner may adopt a DC splitter (also referred to as a DC beam combiner, a DC coupler), that is, a 50:50 splitter, which combines the pulse passing through the optical waveguide delay module and the pulse not passing through the optical waveguide delay module and outputs the combined pulse. The DC splitter can be replaced by a Y-branch combiner or MMI splitter (also called MMI combiner, MMI coupler) with the same effect. The Y-branch beam splitter is formed by connecting the Y-branch beam combiner in an inverted mode.
The first embodiment of the present invention is taken as an example, and the working principle of the on-chip time phase encoding module is described with reference to the time phase transmitting end system as shown in fig. 3. The time phase encoding module in fig. 3 is a transmitting end encoding module of the integrated time phase encoded quantum key distribution system of this embodiment.
(1) At the transmitting end, laser pulses are coupled into the optical waveguide chip through the end face of the optical fiber chip by the optical fiber.
(2) The optical pulse is divided into two beams of light in equal proportion at the first beam splitter, and the two beams of light are respectively modulated by the first phase modulation module and the second phase modulation module.
(3) And adjusting the phase difference of the first phase modulation module in the upper arm and the second phase modulation module in the lower arm so that the phase difference is 0, pi/2, pi and 3 pi/2 respectively. Then the light pulses on the upper arm and the lower arm interfere at the second beam splitter, and enter a rear structure according to the interference result.
(4) Specifically, if the phase difference is 0, all the light energy is output from the upper arm after interference, passes through the optical waveguide delay module, then passes through the beam combiner, and is output, at this time, corresponding to the state |0 in the Z-base>(ii) a If the phase difference is pi, all the light energy is output by the lower arm after interference and then output after passing through the beam combiner, and at the moment, the light energy corresponds to a state |1 in the Z base>(ii) a If the phase difference is pi/2, half of the light energy is output by the upper arm after interference, half of the light energy is output by the lower arm, and the phase difference of the upper arm light pulse and the lower arm light pulse is pi/2 at the moment, and then the light energy is output after passing through the beam combiner, so that the state corresponding to the Y base at the moment is output
Figure GDA0003217925350000051
If the phase difference is 3 pi/2, half of the light energy is output by the upper arm after interference, half of the light energy is output by the lower arm, and the phase difference of the upper arm light pulse and the lower arm light pulse is 3 pi/2 at the moment, and then the light energy is output after passing through a beam combiner and corresponds to the state under the Y base
Figure GDA0003217925350000052
(5) In summary, the structure proposed in this embodiment can implement modulation of four states in a time phase system. And then, the modulated light pulse enters an intensity modulation module, and the intensity modulation module randomly encodes three decoy states with different intensities according to the decoy state principle of the quantum key distribution system.
(6) And then, the optical pulse is attenuated to a single photon magnitude through optical attenuation and enters a channel.
(7) The optical pulse transmitted by the channel enters a receiving end to be received by the receiving end, and after measurement, the quantum key distribution is completed through post-processing algorithms such as base pairing, secret amplification and the like.
Example two: due to different optical waveguide chip materials, some optical waveguide chips are more suitable for being used as partial chips with high-speed phase modulation modules, such as lithium niobate materials. Some of the optical waveguide delay modules are suitable for being used as waveguide chips with optical waveguide delay modules, such as PLC material systems, and the like, due to the small bending radius. Therefore, waveguide chips made of two different materials can be integrated by a hybrid integration method at this time, so that the function of the time phase coding module is completed. As shown in fig. 4, in this example, the first phase modulation module and the second phase modulation module are located on the first waveguide chip, while the DC splitter, the optical waveguide delay module, and the DC combiner are located on the second waveguide chip, and the first waveguide chip and the second waveguide chip are connected by chip-to-chip optical waveguide coupling.
