Abstract

BB84 protocol of quantum key distribution had been proved to be absolutely secure. We simulate the rate of secure key distribution in dephasing channel on a classical computer with the method of event-by-event simulation. Theoretically, the private classical capacity of dephasing channel can be obtained in principle, since the channel is degradable. We give the formula of capacity with respect to the dephasing coefficient. The simulation meets the theory well.
