In quantum key distribution (QKD), there are some security loopholes opened by the gaps between the theoretical model and the practical system, and they may be exploited by eavesdroppers (Eve) to obtain secret key information without being detected....
Existing experimental implementations of continuous-variable quantum key distribution require shot-noise limited operation, achieved with shot-noise limited lasers. However, loosening this requirement on the laser source would allow for cheaper, pote...
A continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) can be realized over the seawater channel, but the transmission of quantum signals in seawater media exhibits significant attenuation effects. Therefore, we propose an N-symbol amplitude and phas...
This article describes the current technical level of developments in the field of continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD). Various classifications are described, the criteria are analyzed, and the optimal protocol is selected. The anal...
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) is a promising protocol that can be easily integrated with classical optical communication systems. However, in the case of quantum-classical co-transmissions, such as dense wavelength division mu...
In the continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) system with a local local oscillator (LLO), the center frequency of the sender and the receiver’s source are not exactly the same and a certain frequency drift exists over time, resul...
Continuous variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) can be potentially implemented through seawater channels, whereas the involved oceanic turbulence has a negative effect on the maximal transmission distance of quantum communication systems. Here,...
