A Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol describes how two remote parties can establish a secret key by communicating over a quantum and a public classical channel that both can be accessed by an eavesdropper. QKD protocols using energy-time entangled photon pairs are of growing practical interest because of their potential to provide a higher secure key rate over long distances by carrying multiple bits per entangled photon pair. We consider a system where information can be extracted by measuring random times of a sequence of entangled photon arrivals. Our goal is to maximize the utility of each such pair. We propose a discrete time model for the photon arrival process, and establish a theoretical bound on the number of raw bits that can be generated under this model. We first analyse a well known simple binning encoding scheme, and show that it generates significantly lower information rate than what is theoretically possible. We then propose three adaptive schemes that increase the number of raw bits generated per photon, and compute and compare the information rates they offer. Moreover, the effect of public channel communication on the secret key rates of the proposed schemes is investigated.

Graph based codes such as low density parity check (LDPC) codes have been shown promising for the information reconciliation phase in quantum key distribution (QKD). However, existing graph coding schemes have not fully utilized the properties of the
QKD channel. In this work, we first investigate the channel statistics for discrete variable (DV) QKD based on energy-time entangled photons. We then establish a so-called balanced modulation scheme that is promising for this channel. Based on the modulation, we propose a joint local-global graph coding scheme that is expected to achieve good error-correction performance.
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is one of the most important subjects in quantum information theory. There are two kinds of QKD protocols, prepare-measure protocols and entanglement-based protocols. For long-distance communications in noisy environmen
ts, entanglement-based protocols might be more reliable since they could be assisted with distillation procedures to prevent from noises. In this paper, we study the entanglement-based QKD over certain noisy channels and present schemes against collective noises, including collective dephasing and collective rotation, Pauli noises, amplitude damping noises, phase damping noises and mixtures of them. We focus on how to implement QKD protocols over noisy channels as in noiseless ones without errors. We also analyze the efficiency of the schemes, demonstrating that they could be more efficient than the standard entanglement-based QKD scheme.
A quantum key distribution protocol based on time coding uses delayed one photon pulses with minimum time-frequency uncertainty product. Possible overlap between the pulses induces an ambiguous delay measurement and ensures a secure key exchange.
We propose a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme for terahertz (THz) frequency applications operating at room temperature. Motivated by classical MIMO communications, a transmit-receive beamforming scheme is pr
oposed that converts the rank-$r$ MIMO channel between Alice and Bob into $r$ parallel lossy quantum channels. Compared with existing single-antenna QKD schemes, we demonstrate that the MIMO QKD scheme leads to performance improvements by increasing the secret key rate and extending the transmission distance. Our simulation results show that multiple antennas are necessary to overcome the high free-space path loss at THz frequencies. We demonstrate a non-monotonic relation between performance and frequency, and reveal that positive key rates are achievable in the $10-30$ THz frequency range. The proposed scheme can be used for both indoor and outdoor QKD applications for beyond fifth-generation ultra-secure wireless communications systems.
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) with discrete modulation has received widespread attentions because of its experimental simplicity, lower-cost implementation and ease to multiplex with classical optical communication. Recently,
some inspiring numerical methods have been applied to analyse the security of discrete-modulated CV-QKD against collective attacks, which promises to obtain considerable key rate over one hundred kilometers of fiber distance. However, numerical methods require up to ten minutes to calculate a secure key rate one time using a high-performance personal computer, which means that extracting the real-time secure key rate is impossible for discrete-modulated CV-QKD system. Here, we present a neural network model to quickly predict the secure key rate of homodyne detection discrete-modulated CV-QKD with good accuracy based on experimental parameters and experimental results. With the excess noise of about $0.01$, the speed of our method is improved by about seven orders of magnitude compared to that of the conventional numerical method. Our method can be extended to quickly solve complex security key rate calculation of a variety of other unstructured quantum key distribution protocols.
