Modeling Optical Key Distribution over a Satellite-to-Ground Link Under Weak Atmospheric Turbulence

Artur Czerwinski, Mikołaj Lasota, Marcin Jarzyna +3

In this study, we analyze the secret key capacity of intensity modulation/direct detection optical key distribution (IM/DD OKD) for a free-space optical (FSO) link between a low-Ea…

Advantages and limitations of channel multiplexing for discrete-variable quantum key distribution

Indranil Maiti, Mikołaj Lasota

Typically practical realizations of discrete-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols, based on exchanging single-photon signals between the trusted parties, can provide i…

Robustness of entanglement-based discrete- and continuous-variable quantum key distribution against channel noise

Mikolaj Lasota, Olena Kovalenko, Vladyslav C. Usenko

Discrete-variable (DV) and continuous-variable (CV) schemes constitute the two major families of quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols. Unfortunately, since the setup elements r…

Optimization of intensity-modulation/direct-detection optical key distribution under passive eavesdropping

Konrad Banaszek, Michal Jachura, Piotr Kolenderski +1

We analyze theoretically optimal operation of an optical key distribution (OKD) link based on fine intensity modulation of an optical signal transmitted over an attenuating channel…

Quantum communication improved by spectral entanglement and supplementary chromatic dispersion

Mikołaj Lasota, Piotr Kolenderski

Implementations of many quantum communication protocols require sources of photon pairs. However, optimization of the properties of these photons for specific applications is an op…

Reducing detection noise of a photon pair in a dispersive medium by controlling its spectral entanglement

Karolina Sedziak, Mikołaj Lasota, Piotr Kolenderski

Chromatic dispersion is one of the main limitations to the security of quantum communication protocols that rely on the transmission of single photons in single mode fibers. This p…

Sufficiency of quantum non-Gaussianity for discrete-variable quantum key distribution over noisy channel

Mikołaj Lasota, Radim Filip, Vladyslav C. Usenko

Quantum key distribution can be enhanced and extended if nonclassical single-photon states of light are used. We study a connection between the security of quantum key distribution…
