Abstract: Disclosed are a quantum information transmitter, a quantum communication system including the same, and an operating method of the quantum information transmitter. The quantum information transmitter includes a light source driver, a light source, and a light modulator. The light source driver generates a first light source driving signal having a first level and a second light source driving signal having a second level. The light source generates a first light signal having a first average number of photons in response to the first light source driving signal, and generates a second light signal having a second average number of photons in response to the second light source driving signal. The optical modulator modulates the first light signal to generate a target signal, and modulates the second light signal to generate a decoy signal.

Abstract: A quantum key distribution system using an RFI (reference frame independent) QKD (quantum key distribution) protocol includes a quantum channel transmitter that generates a first quantum signal including quantum information and provides the first quantum signal to an external device through a quantum channel, a first public channel transceiver that generates an optical signal including first additional information related to a QKD operation, and transmits and receives the optical signal through a public channel, a second public channel transceiver that receives the optical signal through the public channel and generates a measurement result by measuring a circular polarization component of the optical signal, and a quantum channel receiver that receives the first quantum signal through the quantum channel, generates a second quantum signal by correcting a polarization distortion of the first quantum signal based on the measurement result, and demodulates the quantum information from the second quantum signal.
