Round-robin differential quadrature phase-shift quantum key distribution |
Setup of RRDQPS protocol. Alice’s laser emits a train of L pulses with interval T. She chooses one of {0, π/2, π, 3π/2} with an equal probability as phase shift and applies on each pulse. Bob splits the received train into two beams, and the longer arm of the interferometer passes through a phase modulator that incurs phase shift 0 or π/2. |
