Boosting the performance of loss-tolerant measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution
Abstract:
Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution can remove all possible detector side channels, and is robust against state preparation flaws when further combined with the loss-tolerant method. However, the secure key rate in this scenario is relatively low, thus hindering its practical application. Here, we first present a four-intensity decoy-state protocol where the signal intensity is modulated only in Z basis for key generation while the decoy intensities are modulated in both Z and X bases for parameter estimation. Moreover, we adopt collective constraint and joint-study strategy in statistical fluctuation analysis. We have also experimentally demonstrated this protocol and the result indicates high performance and good security for practical applications.
