本文提出一种基于图神经网络(GNN)的量子密钥分发(QKD)网络优化框架。随着量子计算机的发展,经典加密体系面临威胁,而现有QKD网络在动态环境适应性、多参数优化与资源利用率方面存在挑战。为此,我们构建一个可将QKD网络建模为动态图的GNN框架,同时捕获拓扑结构与量子通信特性(如节点间边数)。实验表明,经GNN优化的网络密钥速率从27.1 Kbits/s提升至470 Kbits/s,平均量子误码率(QBER)由6.6%降至6.0%,传输距离略有下降(7.13 km → 6.42 km),但路径完整性得以保持。在10至250个节点的多尺度测试中,中等规模网络的链路预测准确率与密钥生成率均显著提升。该工作为QKD网络引入了新型自适应、可扩展的优化范式,推动安全高效的量子通信系统发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper proposes an optimization of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Networks using Graph Neural Networks (GNN) framework. Today, the development of quantum computers threatens the security systems of classical cryptography. Moreover, as QKD networks are designed for protecting secret communication, they suffer from multiple operational difficulties: adaptive to dynamic conditions, optimization for multiple parameters and effective resource utilization. In order to overcome these obstacles, we propose a GNN-based framework which can model QKD networks as dynamic graphs and extracts exploitable characteristics from these networks' structure. The graph contains not only topological information but also specific characteristics associated with quantum communication (the number of edges between nodes, etc). Experimental results demonstrate that the GNN-optimized QKD network achieves a substantial increase in total key rate (from 27.1 Kbits/s to 470 Kbits/s), a reduced average QBER (from 6.6% to 6.0%), and maintains path integrity with a slight reduction in average transmission distance (from 7.13 km to 6.42 km). Furthermore, we analyze network performance across varying scales (10 to 250 nodes), showing improved link prediction accuracy and enhanced key generation rate in medium-sized networks. This work introduces a novel operation mode for QKD networks, shifting the paradigm of network optimization through adaptive and scalable quantum communication systems that enhance security and performance.
