Quantum key distribution over optical fibre infrastructure
Klíčník, Ondřej ; Horváth, Tomáš (referee) ; Münster, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to create a comprehensive view of the current technology of quantum key distribution (QKD) over optical fiber, in theoretical terms, a completely secure key exchange. The thesis can be divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part illuminates the reasons for the use of these systems and the fundamentals of quantum mechanics needed to understand the function of individual QKD protocols. Furthermore, the principles of operation of both the protocols and related services such as post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum number generation (QRNG) are described. The last chapter is devoted to the architecture of QKD networks and describes current standards for QKD communications. In the practical part, a detailed analysis of commercially available devices is performed. Subsequently, simulation results of selected QKD protocols are presented and a custom QKD polygon is designed, built and tested.

Quantum cryptography
Turčanová, Klára ; Dejdar, Petr (referee) ; Münster, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis focuses on quantum cryptography. In the theoretical part, there is an analysis of secure key distribution in the fiber-optic infrastructure. Methods such as quantum key distribution (QKD) or physical layer secret key generation for fiber-optic networks are analyzed, including a description of the security and technical limitations of the methods. The thesis also attempts to interpret some basic principles of the optic infrastructure used in QKD. In addition to the distribution of keys, the thesis also tries to approximate the basic principles of the optic infrastructure used in QKD and, last but not least, post-quantum cryptography (including a comparison with quantum cryptography and current protocols). In the practical part, the effect of the macrobending of the fiber and the reflectivity of the connectors on the operation of the quantum system was demonstrated. It was also demonstrated that temperature and light acting on the QKD optic infrastructure do not have a fundamental effect.
