ABSTRACT
Continuous variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) based on a simultaneous quantum and classical communication (SQCC) protocol can use a single coherent communication system for multiple purposes. In this paper, we propose an inter-satellite SQCC-CVQKD scheme in the terahertz (THz) band. This scheme performs classical modulation at the sending end, followed by quantum Gaussian modulation operations. At the receiving end, an amplifier is used to amplify and demultiplex the received signal, and, finally, a homodyne detector or heterodyne detector is selected for decoding. We have demonstrated the security of the SQCC-CVQKD system in the THz band, and a performance analysis of the scheme is given in the finite-size regime. The simulation results show that this scheme has a higher secret key rate and stronger anti-interference ability in practice. This work provides an effective way to construct wireless quantum communication networks.
