Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution Scheme with Odd Coherent States

摘要

The Quantum key distribution(QKD) has been entering the practical application era. The odd coherent state which follows sub Poisson distributed has been confirmed to extend transmission distance and improve secret key rate in Discrete-variable quantum key distribution(DVQKD) protocol. We propose Entanglement-based(EB)scheme of Continuous-variable quantum key distribution(CVQKD) with odd coherent state. This scheme allows distributing Gaussian modulated CVQKD with laser light which could be odd coherent state. We analyze the logarithmic negativity between entangled odd coherent states and the security. The results show that renewed scheme can extend secure distance by 10.6% and enhance the tolerance excess noise in same parameter, and the renewed scheme could be applied to prepare-and-measure(P&M)model in CVQKD.
