摘要： In order to facilitate alignment of a QKD transmitter and QKD receiver, the transmitter is provided with a retro-reflector for returning to the receiver a photon beam originating at the latter. The transmitter is arranged to polarization modulate the retro-reflected beam. The transmitter is provided both with an intensity detector for generating an indication of retro-reflected photon intensity, and an intensity-dependent controller for controlling the QKD transmitter in dependence on the detected photon intensity. In one embodiment, this control involves aborting operation of the QKD transmitter upon an unexpectedly high photon intensity being detected; in another embodiment, the intensity indication is used to control the attenuation of the retro-reflected beam so as stabilize the average retro-reflected photon count per unit time.

摘要： QKD receiving apparatus is provided with an alignment-correction system for correcting misalignment of a quantum signal received at an optical port of the apparatus relative to a quantum-signal detector of the receiving apparatus. The alignment-correction system comprises a misalignment measuring subsystem for making multiple different misalignment measures, and a misalignment compensation subsystem for adjusting the relative alignment of the quantum signal and quantum-signal detector in dependence on the misalignment measures made. The misalignment measuring subsystem comprises an alignment-beam source, an alignment-beam detector arrangement, and optical components for guiding an alignment beam from the alignment-beam source to the optical port, and for guiding the alignment beam, after external retro-reflection at a cooperating QKD transmitting apparatus from the optical port to the alignment-beam detector arrangement.

摘要： A handheld device (310) includes: a transmitter or receiver (410) of a signal beam (340) for quantum key distribution; and a source (412, 414) of alignment beams (312, 314, 316, 318) that diverge from each other in a pattern that matches sensors (322, 324, 326, 328) on a station (320) containing a receiver or transmitter (430) for the quantum key distribution. The alignment beams from the handheld device (310) are of sufficient intensity to produce on the station visible spots that facilitate manual alignment of the handheld device (310). The station (320) can measure a position and a direction of respective alignment beams and dynamically steer the signal beam (340) according to the measurements.

摘要： A system is disclosed in which a plurality of devices are arranged to use one-time pad data to interact with apparatus holding the same one-time pad data. Each of the devices and the apparatus has its own one-time pad and the pads are all provisioned with the same new one-time pad data. Upon any one of the devices wishing to effect an interaction with the apparatus using one-time pad data, an alignment operation is carried out between a set of entities comprising at least the apparatus and the device wishing to carry out the interaction. The alignment operation serves to reduce the level of the one-time pad of at least the device wishing to carry out the interaction, to the level of the lowest one-time pad of the set of entities involved in the alignment operation.

摘要： An iterative method is provided for progressively building an end-to-end entanglement between qubits in first and second end nodes (91, 92) of a chain of nodes whose intermediate nodes (90) are quantum repeaters. At each iteration, a current operative repeater (90) of the chain merges an entanglement existing between qubits in the first end node (91) and the operative repeater, with a local entanglement formed between qubits in the operative repeater and its neighbor node towards the second end node (92). For the first iteration, the operative repeater is the neighbor of the first end node (91); thereafter, for each new iteration the operative repeater shifts one node further along the chain toward the second end node (92). A quantum repeater adapted for implementing this method is also provided.
