Functions ¶
func NewSimulatedChannel ¶
func NewSimulatedChannel(pMain, muLo, muMed, muHi, pLo, pMed, pHi float64, sendRand, receiveRand *rand.Rand) (*SimulatedSender, *SimulatedReceiver)
NewSimulatedChannel creates a pair of (Sender, Receiver) structs simulating a Quantum channel. It is expected that each call to Send() will be mirrored by a call to Receive(). Expect errors if that is not the case, and for calls to Send() to hang if more than 1 of them are made before a Receive().
Types ¶
type Receiver ¶
type Receiver interface {
// Next returns the results of sending the next batch of qbits:
// - bits contains the logical bit values sent/received
// - bases specifies whether the "main" basis was used (0) or the "test"
// basis (1), as in basis-biased BB84. For efficient qbit usage, the
// ratio of 0s to 1s should be high.
// - dropped provides a bitmask indicating which pulses we failed to detect
// at all.
Next(bytes int) (bits, bases, dropped []byte, err error)
}
A Receiver receives linearly-polarized photons and decodes them in a given measurement basis.
type Sender ¶
type Sender interface {
// Next returns the results of sending the next batch of qbits:
// - bits contains the logical bit values sent/received
// - bases specifies whether the "main" basis was used (0) or the "test"
// basis (1), as in basis-biased BB84. For efficient qbit usage, the
// ratio of 0s to 1s should be high.
// - lo, med, and hi provide bitmasks which indicate the pulse strength
// used to send the corresponding qbit.
Next(bytes int) (bits, bases, lo, med, hi []byte, err error)
}
A Sender sends qubits encoded as linearly-polarized photons to a Receiver.
type SimulatedReceiver ¶
type SimulatedSender ¶
type SimulatedSender struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
