Fully autocompensating high-dimensional quantum cryptography by optical phase conjugation
arXiv:2009.13915 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.103.043710
Abstract
We present a bidirectional quantum communication system based on optical phase conjugation for achieving fully autocompensating high-dimensional quantum cryptography. We prove that random phase shifts and couplings among 2N spatial and polarization optical modes described by SU(2N) transformations due to perturbations are autocompensated after a single round trip between Alice and Bob. Bob can use a source of single photons or, alternatively, coherent states and then Alice attenuates them up to a single photon level, and thus non-perturbated 1-qudit states are generated for high-dimensional QKD protocols, as the BB84 one, of a higher security.
