Background technology
In existing quantum private communication technology, three major types agreements such as BB84 agreement, B92 agreement and E91 agreement are arranged, three kinds of coded systems such as two condition coding, four attitudes coding and six attitude codings are arranged.The BB84 agreement belongs to four attitude coded systems, and B92 agreement and E91 agreement belong to the two condition coded system, and the efficient of four attitude coded systems is than higher, and the efficient of two condition coded system reduces by half.
The BB84 agreement adopts the coded system of phase modulated usually, promptly adopt two identical Mach-Zehnder interferometers as the Code And Decode device, the error rate of this coded system is mainly determined by the interference contrast of Mach-Zehnder interferometer except that electrical noise, and in relating to the coherence decision of contrast by light, because the coherence of light is damaged in modulation and transmission course inevitably, and in a single day the coherence is damaged, just can't compensate, therefore, the error rate of this coded system is than higher.
Though the four attitude coded systems that the BB84 agreement also can adopt four nonopiate linear polarization or two linear polarizations to add two circular polarization states realize, can't break through technically at present.
The B92 agreement has phase modulated and Polarization Modulation dual mode usually, and phase encoding mode and BB84 agreement are basic identical, and just the B92 agreement adopts the two condition coding, and efficient reduces by half; And the Polarization Modulation coded system adopts two linear polarization of photon to encode usually, promptly utilizes electrooptic crystal (as KD
*P, LiNbO
3Deng) or the Pockels pond two linear polarization of photon are carried out modulating-coding, because the half-wave voltage very high (several kilovolts) in electrooptic crystal or Pockels pond, use very inconvenient, and the very difficult high spped coding of realizing, especially polarization state of light is subject to the influence of factors such as stress birfringence in the optical fiber and polarization mode dispersion and the interference of environment in transmission course, therefore, the error rate is also than higher.
The E91 agreement is to adopt to tangle the attitude photon and encode, and produces relatively difficulty owing to tangle the attitude photon, and equipment needed thereby is relatively more expensive, is difficult to apply.
