Abstract:
Continuous variable quantum key distribution that can be implemented using only low-cost and off-the-shelf components reveals great potential in practical large-scale realization. Access networks, as a modern network necessity, connect many end-users to the network backbone. In this work, we first demonstrate upstream transmission quantum access networks using continuous variable quantum key distribution. A two-end-user quantum access network is then experimentally realized. Through phase compensation, data synchronization, and other technical upgrades, we achieve a secret key rate of the total network of 390 kbits/s. In addition, we extend the case of a two-end-user quantum access network to the case of a multiplicity of users, and analyze the network capacity in the case of a multiplicity of users by measuring the additive excess noise from different time slots.
