Abstract

The invention discloses a polarization encoding device for quantum key distribution, including a laser LD, an optical path selector, a 2X2 polarization encoding device and a beam combiner BC, wherein the 2X2 polarization encoding device has 2 input ports and 2 output ports , the present invention also provides a quantum key distribution system. Compared with the prior art, a polarization encoding device of the present invention adopts a 2X2 polarization encoding module, only needs one phase modulator, and modulates the phase 0 or π to prepare 4 kinds of BB84 polarization states. It can not only solve the problem of inconsistent wavelengths of multiple lasers, but also reduce the requirements on the driving circuit of the phase modulator. It not only ensures the safety of quantum state preparation, but also reduces the complexity of the encoding device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of quantum polarization encoding, in particular to a polarization encoding device and a quantum key distribution system for quantum key distribution. Background technique [0002] Quantum key distribution (quantum key distribution, QKD) can provide unconditionally secure key distribution for long-distance communication parties, and its information theory security is guaranteed by the basic principles of quantum mechanics. At present, the quantum key distribution system of the BB84 protocol is becoming more and more mature and has become practical. The four polarization states commonly used in the BB84 protocol for polarization coding are , , , . [0003] Such as figure 1 As shown, a typical polarization-encoded BB84 QKD system is given. Each polarization state at the sending end is generated by a laser, and coupled into the same optical fiber through a polarization beam splitter PBS and a beam spl...
