Abstract

We demonstrate the first proof of principle differential phase shift (DPS) quantum key distribution (QKD) using narrow-band heralded single photons with amplitude-phase modulations. In the 3-pulse case, we obtain a quantum bit error rate (QBER) as low as 3.06% which meets the unconditional security requirement. As we increase the pulse number up to 15, the key creation efficiency approaches 93.4%, but with a cost of increasing the QBER. Our result suggests that narrow-band single photons maybe a promising source for the DPS-QKD protocol.

Fig. 2 (a) Experimental setup for narrow-band heralded single-photon generation and DPS quantum key distribution. The relevant 85Rb atomic energy levels are |1〉 = |5S1/2, F = 2〉, |2〉 = |5S1/2, F = 3〉, |3〉 = |5P1/2, F = 3〉, and |4〉 = |5P3/2, F = 3〉. (b) and (c) show Stokes-anti-Stokes two-photon coincidence counts measured for 300 s with a time bin of 2 ns. The plot (1) is the heralded single-photon waveform without modulation. The plots (2) are the heralded single photons with 3- and 15-pulse modulations. (d) The visibility of the M-Z interferometer at detector D1 with incident photons at different polarization angles.
