Description

Method and system for distributing continuous variable quantum key of optical fiber with high code rate of local oscillation along path
Technical Field

Background
In many conventional high-code-rate continuous variable quantum key distribution systems (CVQKD), random key information generated by a quantum true random number generator is modulated and encoded onto weak coherent light by using an amplitude and phase modulator to realize key distribution, for example, gaussian modulation quantum key distribution (GMCS-CVQKD), i.e., a gaussian distributed quantum true random number is modulated onto a regular component of the weak coherent light by using the amplitude and phase modulator and is transmitted to a receiver through an optical fiber or a free space channel. Discrete variable quantum key modulation (DVQKD) systems also implement modulation of a limited number of quantum states by an amplitude and phase modulator and send to a receiver for demodulation and detection. Both of these approaches require not only a quantum true random number generator, but also an active amplitude and phase modulator to achieve linear modulation of the optical signal. However, the operation of actual devices often has nonlinear effects, resulting in the inability of the generated initial key information to achieve linear modulation on the light field component, which in turn affects system implementation. In addition, in the field of quantum key distribution based on thermal state light sources, whether a fiber channel or a free space channel, there is no mature high-code rate quantum key distribution scheme.
