Secure Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution with Machine Learning
Duan Huang, Susu Liu, Ling Zhang
Abstract
Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers information-theoretical security, while real systems are thought not to promise practical security effectively. In the practical continuous-variable (CV) QKD system, the deviations between realistic devices and idealized models might introduce vulnerabilities for eavesdroppers and stressors for two parties. However, the common quantum hacking strategies and countermeasures inevitably increase the complexity of practical CV systems. Machine-learning techniques are utilized to explore how to perceive practical imperfections. Here, we review recent works on secure CVQKD systems with machine learning, where the methods for detections and attacks were studied.
