An efficient modeling and simulation of differential phase shift-quantum key distribution (DPS-QKD) system using optisystem
Differential phase-shift (DPS) quantum key distribution (QKD) is a unique QKD protocol that is different from traditional ones, featuring simplicity and practicality. In this work, we simulated the DPS-QKD experiment conducted by (Liu et al., 2013), using OptiSystem 7. To the best of our knowledge,...

Differential phase-shift (DPS) quantum key distribution (QKD) is a unique QKD protocol that is different from traditional ones, featuring simplicity and practicality. In this work, we simulated the DPS-QKD experiment conducted by (Liu et al., 2013), using OptiSystem 7. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first simulation work on DPS-QKD using a single photon source.We used a random number generator to get the phase modulation pattern of N=5, 7,9,11 and 13, while for the 3 and 15 pulse cases, the pattern adopted in the experiment was used. When the number of pulse (N) was 3, a quantum bit error rate (QBER) of 3.0%, which is lower than the minimum QBER of 4.12% required for unconditional security, was obtained. The key creation efficiency increases with the increase in the number of pulse up to 15, as it reaches 93.4% but at the expense of the increment in QBER. The result of our simulation is, on some aspect, in agreement with the experimental result. However, we were able to extend the transmission distance from 3 meter, as in the experiment, to 10 meter.
