Title:
COHERENT-STATES BASED QUANTUM DATA-ENCRYPTION THROUGH OPTICALLY-AMPLIFIED WDM COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005046114
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A quantum cryptographic protocol uses two-mode coherent states that is optically amplifiable, resulting in a polarization independent system that is compatible with the existing WDM infrastructure and which provides secure data encryption suitable for wavelength division multiplexing networks through an in-line amplified line.
