Abstract

The authors demonstrate that passive decoy-state quantum digital signature (QDS) using parametric down-conversion sources can be used effectively for encrypted communication over a distance of 200 km. With this method, the probability of leaking information to the eavesdropper is avoided, which improves security. The superiority of this system is due to its efficient passive decoy-state scheme and low-loss experimental system. The present work can also be extended to the recently proposed measurement-device-independent quantum digital signatures, and thus represents a significant step for QDSs on the path from the laboratory to practical applications.
