Abstract: | Security certification of quantum key distribution systems with a practical device is essential for their social deployment. Considering the transmitter, we investigate quantum state generation affected by degraded electrical signals from practical bandwidth-limited devices on high-speed phase-encoding BB84 quantum key distribution systems. The state preparation flaw caused by this degradation undesirably enhances the distinguishability between the two bases for the BB84 protocol and decreases the key generation rate. We propose the state preparation with a dual parallel modulator for increasing the robustness to signal degradation. To verify the effectiveness of the dual parallel modulator, we characterize the generated states using state tomography and estimate the key generation rate based on the Gottesman-Lo-Liitkenhaus-Preskill theory with fidelity derived from the estimated density matrices. Simulation results show that the key generation rate remains unaffected by modulation voltage shifts up to 20%.
