Practical decoy state method in quantum key distribution with heralded single photon source
arXiv:quant-ph/0610134 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.75.012312
Abstract
We propose a practical decoy state method with heralded single photon source for quantum key distribution (QKD). In the protocol, 3 intensities are used and one can estimate the fraction of single-photon counts. The final key rate over transmission distance is simulated under various parameter sets. Due to the lower dark count than that of a coherent state, it is shown that a 3-intensity decoy-state QKD with a heralded source can work for a longer distance than that of a coherent state.
