Effect of Attenuation and Dispersion in the Communication Channel on the Secrecy of a Quantum Cryptosystem

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The effects of dispersion in the communication channel on the secrecy of a quantum cryptosystem based on single photon states with different frequencies are studied. A maximum communication channel length which can still ensure the secrecy of the key generation procedure is found.
