Abstract

The development of experimental quantum physics in recent years has led to the fact that the abstract ideas of quantum mechanics began to find practical application for the protection of information in a rapidly developing field such as fiber-optic communication lines (FOCL). On the basis of (smart) translucent SMART mirrors, optical splitters, switches, schemes of unidirectional, counter, bidirectional and universal multiplexers and demultiplexers, and the principle of distributing quantum encryption keys between authorized users have been developed. It is shown that it is possible to improve the speed of the process of switching and multiplexing of information flows in comparison with traditional mechanical switches. The paper proposes a circuit solution for an all-optical network (All-Optical Networks – AON) with the possibility of generating and distributing quantum encryption keys between authorized users. The aim of this work is to develop a principle for constructing quantum systems for the secure distribution of encryption keys on all-optical networks between selected (4 or more) users, as well as methods for generating, transmitting and receiving these keys in real time. In this regard, there is a need to develop a switch and a multiplexer of information flows.

Keywords: Quantum entanglement, switching, multiplexing, mirror, optical splitter, commutator, multiplexer, demultiplexer, information flow.
