Abstract
En 中文
Twin-field quantum key distribution (TF-QKD) is widely studied since it can surpass the key capacity of repeaterless QKD, whereas electromagnetic interference (EMI) is one of the main challenges in its practical applications. This study is based on the Faraday-Michelson TF-QKD. Analyze the effect of EMI on the rotation angle of the Faraday mirror causing an additional quantum bit error rate (QBER). Moreover, the quantum annealing algorithm (QA) based on quantum tunneling mechanism is applied to the optimization of practical TF-QKD. Mapping the secure key rate of TF-QKD into the evaluation function of QA and the transverse magnetic field is introduced to construct the kinetic energy term, which can realize the quantum tunneling effect. Meanwhile, the QA is improved in terms of chaotic optimization to obtain the dynamic initial value of the algorithm, the design of a perturbation method to skip the locally optimal solution, and the use of suitable temperature and magnetic field decay functions. Optimizing TF-QKD with QA, the standard deviation of QBER fluctuation caused by EMI is reduced to 0.206, the mean square error of the signal-state pulse intensity is only 3.38x10-4, and the optimization accuracy of the secure key rate can reach 99.8 %. Additionally, this optimization method shortens the runtime and reduces computational resource consumption, making it highly efficient for practical implementations.
