Simulation and Analysis of QKD currently supporting the BB84 variant. -

QKD simulator © is a web application aimed at simulating and analyzing quantum key distribution protocols. The simulator is powered by a QKD simulation toolkit that makes it possible to customize a wide range of parameters for individual components and sub-protocols in the system, e.g., quantum channel, sifting, error estimation, reconciliation/error correction, privacy amplification. Each simulation provides detailed information about the intermediate and final stages of the protocol.

Set the initial simulation settings and press the Run Simulator button.

QKD Simulation

Choose a simulator based on the properties of QKD that you would like to further investigate, fine-tune the initial parameters and define constraints for each subprotocol and run the simulator.

Detailed Analysis

Each simulation run will present you with a highly detailed set of results covering every step of the protocol, including internal details of every sub-protocol, e.g. sifting, error correction, privacy amplification, etc. along with a summary of statistics.

Plots

Most simulation types will create high quality publication ready plots illustrating core properties of QKD and more specifically, those of each run. We can run resource-intensive simulations for you locally upon request.
