We designed and demonstrated experimentally a silicon photonics integrated dynamic polarization controller which is a crucial component of a continuous-variable quantum key distribution system. By using a variable step simulated annealing approach, we achieve a dynamic polarization extinction ratio greater than 25 dB. The dynamic polarization controller can be utilized in silicon photonics integrated continuous-variable quantum key distribution system to minimize the size and decrease the cost further.
We present a silicon optical transmitter for polarization-encoded quantum key distribution (QKD). The chip was fabricated in a standard silicon photonic foundry process and integrated a pulse generator, intensity modulator, variable optical attenuato
Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) removes all detector side channels and enables secure QKD with an untrusted relay. It is suitable for building a star-type quantum access network, where the complicated and expensive m
The future envisaged global-scale quantum communication network will comprise various nodes interconnected via optical fibers or free-space channels, depending on the link distance. The free-space segment of such a network should guarantee certain ke
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,
Information reconciliation is crucial for continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) because its performance affects the secret key rate and maximal secure transmission distance. Fixed-rate error correction codes limit the potential applic
