Abstract
Gaussian modulated coherent state continuous variable quantum key distribution protocol is proven to provide high security while being compatible with classical coherent communication equipment. Here, we demonstrate a high-speed Gaussian modulated coherent state continuous variable quantum key distribution with a symbol rate of 40 MHz. Our system is consisted of field deployable data acquisition and processing hardware. We have also developed a software tool chain for recording data and parameter monitoring in real time. The data is then post processed to distill secret keys. We have achieved a secret key rate of 2.3 Mbps after all the post processing stages, at a transmission distance of 25 km.
