| Summary: | Measurement Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) has been widely
experimented with and demonstrated. MDI-QKD allows two systems, commonly known as Alice
and Bob, to individually transmit Weak Coherent Pulses (WCP) with decoy states in four BB84
polarization states to a mid-way station named "Charlie," which contains a beam splitter. Charlie
will measure these WCPs and publicly broadcast Alice and Bob's result to establish an encrypted
key. By doing so, an eavesdropper may even impersonate "Charlie" without comprising the
distributed key's security, eliminating all detector side-channel attacks. In this project, a control
interface for the Silicon Photonic Device is built. The control interface will control the pulse
generation, polarization encoding, post-processing, and recording of coincidence events.
Experiments will be conducted to evaluate the performance of the control interface connected to
the hardware set-up. |
