The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

| dc.description.abstract | Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) utilizes the laws of quantum mechanics to enable a verifiably secure distribution of cryptographic key material between distant parties. When properly implemented alongside a one-time pad encryption scheme, QKD can provide unconditional security which is not possible with modern cryptographic systems. One of the most common QKD protocols, the Gaussian-modulated coherent state (GMCS) protocol can never be truly realized due to the stringent requirements of a true Gaussian modulation. This thesis outlines a method for testing a discrete Gaussian-modulated (DGM) QKD protocol which accounts for the discrete nature of its practical implementation. A proof-of-principle experiment for measuring its performance is presented, and a field programmable gate array (FPGA) controlled phase compensation system is designed for practical implementations. | |
