Description

Synchronous signal recovery method and system for quantum key distribution system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of quantum communication, in particular to a synchronous signal recovery method and a synchronous signal recovery system for a quantum key distribution system.
Background
Current Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems employ a scheme in which synchronous light and signal light are transmitted in the same optical fiber. Namely, one semiconductor Laser (Syn-Laser) is used for periodically emitting low-frequency synchronous light, and then another or a plurality of semiconductor lasers (Sig-lasers) are used for emitting high-frequency signal light (the frequency of the signal light is integral multiple of the synchronous light) according to the result of quantum state coding of a quantum communication source end. The light intensity of the synchronous light is very strong, and the light intensity of the signal light is single photon level. After optical signals generated by the two light sources are multiplexed by combining optical fibers, the optical signals are transmitted to quantum key generation equipment at the opposite end in the same optical fiber to generate a quantum key. The system structure is shown in figure 1:
fig. 1 is a scheme suitable for general engineering applications. The scheme is mainly realized in the following three ways:
1. the synchronous light and the signal light use different wavelengths respectively, and the synchronous light and the signal light are staggered in time by defining a strict quantum frame format.
2. The synchronous light and the signal light respectively use different wavelengths, the isolation between the two signals is kept by methods such as filtering, and the strict quantum frame format does not need to be defined to ensure that the two signals are staggered in time.
3. The synchronization light and the signal light use the same wavelength, and are temporally shifted by defining a strict quantum frame format.
Taking scheme 1 as an example, a scheme of general engineering application is illustrated: it is assumed that the frequency of the synchronization light emitted from the a-side (transmitting side) in the system is fsyn (corresponding to a period Tsyn). The frequency of the quantum signal light emitted from the a terminal is fsig (the corresponding period is Tsig). The synchronous light and the signal light enter an optical fiber to be transmitted to a B end (receiving end) after being combined by the optical fibers. The relationship between the synchronization light and the signal light is shown in fig. 2, and the time interval between two adjacent synchronization lights is Tsyn. The time interval between two adjacent quantum signal lights is Tsig. The time difference between the synchronization light and the first signal light corresponding to it is also Tsig.
After quantum signal light and synchronous light are transmitted to quantum equipment at the B end through optical fibers, the synchronous light and the signal light are separated. The synchronous light enters a time position conversion chip (TDC) after being subjected to broadening and level conversion by a delay circuit and is used as a beacon (namely a quantum frame synchronous beacon) for quantum signal light position operation. The signal light is in a single-photon level, most signals are lost after being transmitted through the long-distance optical fiber, the lost serial numbers are distributed randomly, the rest signals capable of reaching the B-end equipment enter the single-photon detector and are converted into electric signals, the electric signals are also sent to the TDC chip, the relative position relation between the signals and the synchronous light is calculated, and then the next key generation is carried out. The relationship between the signal light entering the detector at the B-end and the synchronization light is shown in fig. 3.
In fig. 3, due to the loss of a large amount of quantum signal light in the transmission process, signal light at many positions is not received and cannot participate in coding. But the time interval between any signal light and the corresponding sync light must be an integer multiple of Tsig.
Therefore, the main disadvantages of the prior art are:
1. the generation of synchronous light and signal light needs a semiconductor laser respectively, so that the hardware design cost, the equipment power consumption and the equipment complexity are increased, and the equipment reliability is reduced.
2. The light intensity of the synchronous light is very strong, and the signal light at the adjacent position is easily interfered, so that a no light area needs to be arranged to filter the signal light interfered by the synchronous light, and the corresponding cost is to reduce the code rate of the quantum key.
The technical problem to be solved is as follows:
1. after the sync-light laser is removed, the B-side device cannot mark which quantum communication frame the received signal light belongs to (i.e., the sync-light queue and relative position). Without solving this problem, it is difficult to perform universally applicable quantum key generation.
2. The elimination of the synchronous light can improve the difficulty of discovering the quantum communication link through line silent interception, so that the mode system analysis, the subsequent protocol analysis and the quantum attack are performed, and the security of an actual quantum key distribution system is better guaranteed.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Of course, the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1 to 6, the present invention provides a method and a system for recovering a synchronization signal for a quantum key distribution system, where a position relationship between a signal light generated by an a-side device and a quantum frame starting point (i.e., an original synchronization signal position) is an integer multiple of Tsig, and a typical value of a signal light received by a B-side is only one hundredth to one thousandth of magnitude, but a time interval between any two received signal lights is certainly an integer multiple of Tsig. Therefore, after the synchronization light is removed, the start position of each sub-frame (i.e. the original synchronization signal position) can be calculated according to the received signal light. The block diagram of the system is shown in fig. 4.
The specific process of synchronization signal recovery is as follows:
1. the device at the a end negotiates with the device at the B end through a classical channel, and according to a defined quantum frame format, notifies the B end of the frequency fsyn of a synchronization signal to be sent, the frequency fsig of a signal light, and a time interval tsyn between the signal light and the corresponding synchronization signal, and starts to send the training data at the first stage after stipulating 2s (if the link is long, the time can be extended appropriately). And after receiving the command frame, the B-end equipment sends a response frame and initializes the delay chip. After the A-end equipment receives the response frame, the link communication delay between the A-end equipment and the B-end equipment is calculated, and then the optimal signal sending time is calculated. The frequency of the signal light sent by the a-side device in the training phase is fsig.
2. After the terminal B receives the command frame sent by the terminal A and gives a response frame, a phase-locked loop PLL is configured to generate a clock with the same frequency as the signal light, the counting time of 2s is waited, then the number Nsig of the received signal light is counted, and the time interval of two adjacent signal lights is counted by using a TDC chip when the first signal light is received. The statistical process is shown in fig. 5.
In fig. 5, the time interval between the first signal light and the second signal light is t1, and the time interval between each adjacent signal light is an integral multiple of Tsig, so that the average period Tavg1 between the first signal light and the second signal light is t1/3. Similarly, the average period Tavg2 between the second signal light and the third signal light is t2/2. The average period Tavg3 between the third signal light and the fourth signal light is t3/4, and so on. And the FPGA accumulates the calculated Tavg1, tavg2, \8230;, tavgn to obtain a SUMagvg, and counts the Navg. After a sufficient amount of data is counted, the mean value Tavg can be obtained. I.e. Tavg = SUMavg/Navg. Tavg is the actual period of the signal light emitted by the current a terminal. And the FPGA at the B end adjusts the phase of a feedback link of the phase-locked loop PLL according to Tavg through the internal delay phase-locked loop DLL to complete the frequency synchronization with the A end.
3. After the frequency synchronization is completed, the device at the end B informs the end A to enter a second synchronization stage, and then a clock after the frequency synchronization is used for generating a synchronization pulse with the frequency fsyn to the TDC chip. After receiving the notification, the a-side starts to transmit the signal light at the frequency fsyn. The distance between the signal light sent by the a-terminal and the synchronization signal inside the signal light is as reported in step 1 tsyn. After receiving the signal light pulse, the TDC chip at the B-side provides a first time difference Tb (as shown in fig. 6) between the synchronous electrical signal generated at the B-side and the received signal photoelectric signal. And the FPGA at the B end records Tb, continuously counts the second Tb, and so on. After a sufficient amount of Tb is counted, the FPGA analyzes all the counted Tb and compares the Tb with tsyn, so that a time difference td between a synchronous electric signal generated by the B end and a synchronous signal generated by the A end can be calculated, namely td = Tb-tsyn. The B end adjusts the delay value of the delay chip, reduces or increases the sending delay of the synchronous signal, and then the frequency and position synchronization of the synchronous signal of the B end and the A end can be realized, thereby successfully recovering the original synchronous signal to realize the calibration of the quantity subframe.
Furthermore, because the stability of the electronic device is affected by the environment to generate deviation, after the electronic device enters a normal working state, the B end can calculate the frequency deviation of the two ends again according to the step 2 as required, then adjust the phase of the phase-locked loop PLL, and dynamically synchronize the frequencies of the B end and the A end.
Referring to fig. 4, the system comprises an a end and a B end which are communicated with each other, wherein the a end comprises an a end FPGA and a signal light laser which forms a control loop with the a end FPGA; the FPGA at the B end is sequentially connected with the delay chip and the time position conversion chip TDC; the FPGA at the A end and the FPGA at the B end form a communication channel through a classical link, the signal light laser at the A end is connected with a single-photon detector through a communication optical fiber, and the single-photon detector is respectively connected with the TDC of the time position conversion chip and the FPGA at the B end and sends detector signals to the TDC and the FPGA;
the FPGA at the end B comprises a frequency synchronization logic module which is communicated with the FPGA at the end A through a classical link, the frequency synchronization logic module is connected with a delay phase-locked loop (DLL) and a phase-locked loop (PLL) to form a control channel, the delay phase-locked loop (DLL) and the PLL are provided with feedback links which are communicated with each other, and the PLL and the synchronization signal logic module form a communication channel; the synchronous signal logic module sends a synchronous signal and a delay chip control signal to the delay chip; the time delay chip transmits the phase-modulated synchronous signal to the time position conversion chip TDC; and the TDC of the time position conversion chip feeds back information to the synchronous signal logic module.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
