Abstract

The original measurement of device-independent(MDI)quantum key distribution(QKD) is reviewed, and a modified protocol using rotation-invariant photonic state is proposed. Initial encoding and final decoding of information in our MDI-QKD implementation protocol can be conveniently performed in the polarization space, while the transmission is done in the rotation-invariant hybrid space. Our analysis indicates that both the secure key rate and transmission distance can be improved by our modified protocol owing to its lower error rate. Furthermore, our hybrid polarization-OAM qubits approach only needs to insert four q-plates in a practical experiment, and our simulation results show that the modified protocol is practical.
