“…Because optical quantum repeaters are expected to become commercially accessible soon, QKD networks are now developed entirely using the Trusted Repeater Approach (TRA) [26]. Numerical simulations demonstrated that inserting HLA (hybrid linear amplifier) before Bob's detector can improve TS-CVQKD (thermal-state continuous-variable quantum key distribution) protection in the near-and mid-infrared or terahertz regions [27].…”

For the generation of a secret key, hardly a quantum algorithms integrating states and bits have yet developed. Integrating random states and bits is difficult for a combiner component. The underlying problems of the study are the design of a quantum circuit, an algorithm, state polarization setup, and the concatenation of bits and states. By combining either rectilinear, orthogonal (superposition), or both states with bits, we have investigated three different possibilities for the quantum hybrid protocol. We investigated errors in each case and compared them with regard to decoherence and other quantum mechanics properties by taking into consideration the effectiveness of states during transmission time across an untrusted channel. Furthermore, we observed that key size, state errors, design complexity, and security are all addressed in a reasonable manner for identifying solutions while comparing our results to earlier proposed quantum protocols. Because of this, the suggested key protocol's effectiveness is greater than that of earlier proposed protocols.

As a branch of quantum secure multi-party computation, quantum private comparison is applied frequently in many fields, such as secret elections, private voting, and identification. A quantum private comparison protocol with higher efficiency and easier implementation is proposed in this paper. The private secrets are encoded as single polarized photons and then encrypted with a homomorphic rotational encryption method. Relying on this method and the circular transmission mode, we implement the multiplexing of photons, raising the efficiency of our protocol to 100%. Our protocol is easy to realize since only single photons, unitary operation, and single-particle measurement are introduced. Meanwhile, the analysis shows that our protocol is also correct and secure.

“…This makes the application of short-range quantum cryptography possible, and the study of thermal-state CV-QKD becomes very important. In recent literature, the theoretical and experimental security of different detection and reconciliation modes of thermal-state CV-QKD has been proved [19], [31]- [35].…”

Thermal-state continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) of direct reconciliation with heterodyne detection can improve the robustness of the protocols. However, CV-QKD protocols require outlier detection, optical phase shifters are used to achieve orthogonal differentiation of the modes, but the actual optical phase shifters suffer from measurement angular errors, resulting in the imperfect phase. This kind of error degrades the security of the system. In this paper, we analyze the causes of measurement angular error and its impact on the secret key rate of the thermal-state CV-QKD protocols. We propose a compensation method to compensate for the effects of the measurement angular error and give a more complete secure analysis method under collective attack. The results obtained in this paper further improve the secure analysis under the thermalstate protocol and further enhance the performance of the system using the compensation method.
