Experimental Validation of Quantum Error Correction in BB84 for Secure Quantum Communication
摘要
The security of Quantum Key Distribution shares a common-theoretic secure secret key that relies based on the quantum physics laws. The physical system in the Quantum Key Distribution is characterized and the deviations presented due to the imperfections in the realistic devices are taken as a main consideration for guaranteeing security proof. The quantum channel in the BB84 protocol helps to send the polarized light pulses and the polarized photon qubits are used to generate secret shared key. For integrating Quantum Key Distribution with BB84 protocol, three steps such as key generation, key sifting and key distillation are used that are responsible for securing communication between two parties. The cyberattacks of the eavesdropper on qubits by transformation are evaluated based on the probability of the errors and the information against perturbation principle is used for identifying the probability of the error occurrences. For generating quantum error correction codes, the 5-qubit stabilizer code is used to protect single logical qubits from the errors. This stabilizer code has an advantages are powerful error correcting capabilities and balancing qubit usage for making efficient codes for quantum computing. In this research article, the security and reliability are taken as a major concern for quantum key distribution. The experiments are performed for identifying effectiveness of the proposed article through different types of analyses. Among all analyses, the proposed model showed the better outcomes of 97.98% fidelity. The efficacy of the Quantum Key Distribution confirmed that the proposed model is efficient for providing security and reliability to the error correction codes.
