Abstract:
Quantum cryptography involves the fundamental question of the existence of secure protocols of quantum key distribution at any length of a communication channel (at any losses in it). A remarkable feature and novelty of the proposed protocol is that it ensures dual control; first, the intensity of a reference (intense) quantum state is controlled classically before the comparison (measurement) of coherent states from different time windows, and, second, the loss of coherence of a state is detected by interference measurements of an information quantum state and the reference quantum state tested against the conservation of the intensity. Thus, this is the only existing protocol stable to any losses in the communication channel. The length of the communication channel is limited only by dark noise in detectors.
