Using the IBM Quantum Experience platform, we simulate the dissipative dynamics in the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol. We employ the Jaynes-Cummings model to simulate the attenuation in an optical fiber during the information transmission process and calculate the quantum bit error rate (QBER). The results of QBER as a function of the distance give a satisfactory agreement with experimental data when the system is in a Markovian regime.

Abstract

Using the IBM Quantum Experience platform, we simulate the dissipative dynamics in the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol. We employ the Jaynes-Cummings model to simulate the attenuation in an optical fiber during the information transmission process and calculate the quantum bit error rate (QBER). The results of QBER as a function of the distance give a satisfactory agreement with experimental data when the system is in a Markovian regime.
