Analysis of a sidebands-based quantum cryptography system with different detector types
Abstract
We performed theoretical analysis of a sidebands-based quantum cryptography system with two types of detec tors: an avalanche photodiode and a superconducting photon counter. The influence of detector parameters on eavesdropper “Intercept-resend” attack efficiency was investigated.
