Simulation Of A Quantum Key Distribution Scheme In View Of A Proof-of-principle Implementation

Authors : Zebboudj Sofia . Omar Mawloud .

Abstract

Although quantum key distribution schemes have been proven theoretically secure, they are based on assumptions about the devices that are not yet satisfied with today's technology. In this work, we present the experimental setup for a measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution scheme we have proposed as a part of my PhD research. Through simulations, we give the most appropriate parameters needed for the realization of the scheme. We also see through simulations how an attack can introduce detectable errors in the distributed secret key.
