Abstract:In a commercial fiber-based quantum key distribution system, the local and signal optical fields are transmitted through long distance fibers using time division multiplexing and polarization multiplexing. The state of polarization of the optical fields is inevitably disturbed by random birefringence of the standard single-mode fiber caused by external complex environments. This drift of the state of polarization significantly affects the balanced homodyne detection results and the secret key rate. Therefore, … Show more
