Polarization Division Multiplexing CV-QKD with Pilot-Aided Polarization-State Sensing

Abstract

Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) with local local oscillator (LLO) is well-studied for its security and simplicity, but enhancing performance and interference resistance remains challenging. In this paper, we utilize polarization division multiplexing (PDM) to enhance spectral efficiency and significantly increase the key rate of the CV-QKD system. To address dynamic changes in the state of polarization (SOP) in Gaussian modulated coherent states (GMCS) signals due to polarization impairment effects, we designed a time-division multiplexing pilot scheme to sense and recover changes in SOP in GMCS signals, along with other digital signal processing methods. Experiments over 20 km show that our scheme maintains low excess noise levels (0.062 and 0.043 in shot noise units) and achieves secret key rates of 4.65 Mbps and 5.66 Mbps for the two polarization orientations, totaling 10.31 Mbps. This work confirms the effectiveness of PDM GMCS-CV-QKD and offers technical guidance for high-rate QKD within metropolitan areas.
