Quantum Cryptography (BB84 and B92)

This GitHub repository contains the code and data for the experiments performed by Felipe Tcach and Charlie Perkins during the Semester 5 Laboratory period (2023).

Experimental Aims

The aim of the experiment was to expore the fidelity of information transfer for the quantum key distrubution (QKD) protocols, BB84 and B92.

Results and Reasoning

Important results can be found in the root -> results folder of in the repository root. Measurements of the ratios of polarised laser light was taken on an oscilloscope and analysed using Python (see root -> source). The ratios of the intensities can be thought of as the approximate single photon probabilities of detection/resolution. The values of which can be used to simulate large scale key distribution many times over - gaining statistical insight into the QKD protocols.
