Abstract:
 
Quantum communication is the new research field with the combination of quantum theory and the information theory. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) has been demonstrated by many experiments and will be implemented in our everyday life. Currently, the key problem for the QKD is to propagate in longer distance, generate the secure key with higher speed, and make the system more compact. In this talk, I will show how the researchers solve the secure problem resulted from the imperfect device in the whole system. For example, BB84, the first QKD protocol, and Twin-field-QKD, the up to date protocol to overcome the propagation limitation. I will also show some practical quantum networks in the world, and discuss the benefit of the silicon photonic chip in the system miniaturization.
