Abstract:

We experimentally demonstrate a hybrid configuration for quantum key distribution that combines the simplicity of distributed-phase-reference protocols with the self-referencing features and polarization insensitivity of the so-called plug-and-play system. Additionally, all the components are arranged in a server–client scheme to allow for practical key distribution. Blank, coherent pulse pair trains are generated at the reception end of the link by means of a pulse sequence and an unbalanced interferometer and sent to the other end. The emitter writes the qubits by erasing one of the pulses from the pair as in a coherent one-way protocol. Detection, as well as eavesdropping monitoring, is performed at the receiver side, using the same interferometer that was used to generate the initial phase-referenced pulses. © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
