“…For instance, the simulation of weak coherent prepare-and-measured QKD protocols requires generating, tracking, and detecting coherent states. These coherent states can be directly mapped to the complex envelope of the classical optical signal representation [8]. The transformation rules of coherent states and classical signals are the same when passing through linear components [9], which allows applying the same BB models in both cases.…”

“…Currently, we focus on modeling prepare-and-measure weak-coherent protocols, thus allowing us to model quantum signals without introducing significant changes to the existing simulation framework. 23 The quadratures q and p of coherent states |α⟩ = |q + ip⟩ can be mapped to the real and imaginary parts of the complex envelope. The transformation rules of coherent states and classical envelopes are the same for linear components, which allows using the same building blocks to simulate the propagation of classical and quantum signals.…”

“…Previously, we demonstrated how this simulation framework can be used to simulate prepare-and-measure continuousvariable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) links. 23 In this work, we present further development and apply it to model various QKD protocols under realistic conditions. We studied several important and very diverse application examples including Gaussian-modulated CV-QKD with a true local oscillator, a coexistence scenario in a PON, a coexistence scenario in a multicore fiber, and a satellite-based BB84 system.…”

“…QKD is an innovative technology that enables two or more spatially separated users to distribute cryptographic keys through a public communication quantum channel with ITS, preventing eavesdroppers from gaining access to the key without being detected [6], [11], [12]. The security of the key is based on the fundamental laws of quantum physics, namely the Heisenberg principle and no-cloning theorem [7], [27], [28], with the properties of quantum signals allowing for the detection of an eavesdropper in the communication channel.…”
