Quantum key distribution involving decoy-states is a significant application of quantum information. By using three-intensity decoy-states of single-photon-added coherent sources, we propose a practically realizable scheme on quantum key distribution which approaches very closely the ideal asymptotic case of an infinite number of decoy-states. We make a comparative study between this scheme and two other existing ones, i.e., two-intensity decoy-states with single-photon-added coherent sources, and three-intensity decoy-states with weak coherent sources. Through numerical analysis, we demonstrate the advantages of our scheme in secure transmission distance and the final key generation rate.
涉及诱骗态的量子密钥分发是量子信息的一项重要应用。通过使用单光子加相干源的三强度诱骗态,我们提出了一种在量子密钥分发方面切实可行的方案,该方案非常接近无限数量诱骗态的理想渐近情况。我们对该方案与另外两种现有方案进行了比较研究,即单光子加相干源的双强度诱骗态和弱相干源的三强度诱骗态。通过数值分析,我们证明了我们方案在安全传输距离和最终密钥生成率方面的优势。
