In this paper, current status of experimental and theoretical work on quantum bits based on the semiconductor quantum dots in the University of Seoul will be presented. A new proposal utilizing the multi-valley quantum state transitions in a Si quantum dot as a possible candidate for a quantum bit with a long decoherence time will be also given. Qubits are the multi-valley symmetric and anti-symmetric orbitals. Evolution of these orbitals is controlled by an external electric field, which turns on and off the inter-valley interactions. Initialization is achieved by turning on the inter-valley Hamiltonian to let the system settle down to the symmetric orbital state. Estimates of the decoherence time is made for the longitudinal acoustic phonon process.

Quantum information has passed the theoretical research period and has entered the realization step for its application to the information and communications technology (ICT) sector. Currently, quantum information has the advantage of being safer and faster than conventional digital computers. Thus, a lot of research is being done. The amount of big data that one needs to deal with is expected to grow exponentially. It is also a new business model that can change the landscape of the existing computing. Just as the IT sector has faced many challenges in the past, we need to be prepared for change brought about by Quantum. We would like to look at studies on quantum communication, quantum sensing, and quantum computing based on quantum information and see the technology levels of each country and company. Based on this, we present the vision and challenge for quantum information in the future. Our work is significant since the time for first-time study challengers is reduced by discussing the fundamentals of quantum information and summarizing the current situation.

In the last few years, quantum communication technology and services have been developing in various advanced applications to secure the sharing of information from one device to another. It is a classical commercial medium, where several Internet of Things (IoT) devices are connected to information communication technology (ICT) and can communicate the information through quantum systems. Digital communications for future networks face various challenges, including data traffic, low latency, deployment of high-broadband, security, and privacy. Quantum communication, quantum sensors, quantum computing are the solutions to address these issues, as mentioned above. The secure transaction of data is the foremost essential needs for smart advanced applications in the future. In this paper, we proposed a quantum communication model system for future ICT and methodological flow. We show how to use blockchain in quantum computing and quantum cryptography to provide security and privacy in recent information sharing. We also discuss the latest global research trends for quantum communication technology in several countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Korea, and others. Finally, we discuss some open research challenges for quantum communication technology in various areas, including quantum internet and quantum computing.

퀀텀정보통신기술은 원자 정도의 매우 작은 소립자를 의미하는 퀀텀의 속성을 연구하는 퀀텀역학에 기반을 두고 연구개발이 진행되는 분야로서, 기존 컴퓨터의 역량을 뛰어넘는 엄청난 계산능력과 커뮤니케이션 파워를 보일 수 있다. 퀀텀정보기술은 기존 컴퓨터의 0과 1을 이용한 계산방식 대신 소위 0과 1 그리고 이 두 상태의 중첩상태를 이용한다. 기존에 생각조차 하기 힘들었던 퀀텀현상의 적극적 활용은 새로운 퀀텀기반 디바이스의 개발을 촉진시켰으며 이론적으로나마 퀀텀컴퓨터의 개발이 가능함으로 보여주고 있다. 이 분야의 새로운 발견은 초정밀 센서, 이미징 처리 디바이스, 새로운 컴퓨터 연산 패러다임의 개발로 이어져 기존에는 생각하기도 힘들었던 문제들을 효율적으로 해결해 나갈 수 있는 방법론은 제시하고 있다. 결과적으로 퀀텀정보통신분야는 특정 산업분야 전체를 파괴하고 새로운 산업을 창조할 수 있는 글로벌 경제구조의 변혁의 원천이 될 수 있다.

Vertically coupled low density InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) buried in GaAs matrix were grown with migration enhanced molecular beam epitaxy method as a candidate for quantum information processing devices. We performed excitation power-dependent photoluminescence measurements at cryogenic temperature to analyze the effects of vertical coupling according to the variation in thickness of spacer layer. The more intense coupling effects were observed with the thinner spacer layer, which modified emission properties of QDs significantly. The low surface density of QDs was observed by atomic force microscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy verified the successful vertical coupling between low density QDs.

A practical single photon source for fiber-based quantum information processing is still lacking. As a possible 1.55-㎛ quantum-dot single photon source, an InGaAsP/InP-air-aperture micropillar cavity is investigated in terms of fabrication tolerance. By properly modeling the processing uncertainty in layer thickness, layer diameter, surface roughness and the cavity shape distortion, the fabrication imperfection effects on the cavity quality are simulated using a finite-difference time-domain method. It turns out that, the cavity quality is not significantly changing with the processing precision, indicating the robustness against the imperfection of the fabrication processing. Under thickness error of ±2 nm, diameter uncertainty of ±2%, surface roughness of ±2.5 nm, and sidewall inclination of 0.5°, which are all readily available in current material and device fabrication techniques, the cavity quality remains good enough to form highly efficient and coherent 1.55-㎛ single photon sources. It is thus implied that a quantum dot contained InGaAsP/InP-air-aperture micropillar cavity is prospectively a practical candidate for single photon sources applied in a fiber-based quantum information network.

양자 역학을 이용한 양자 암호 분야는 가장 구현가능성이 높은 분야중 하나이다. 그로인해 양자 암호는 꾸준히 연구되어 왔고 QKD 시스템의 대표적인 BB84 프로토콜 등 다양한 통신 방식이 개발되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 양자 통신의 기본적인 개념을 설명하고 이를 이용한 양자 암호 교환 방식인 QKD 시스템을 설명한다. 또한 양자 암호의 개발이 필요한 이유와 보안성을 위협하는 QKD 공격방식을 소개한다. 양자 채널을 모델링하고 qubit의 위상을 추정하여 양자 암호 공격을 시뮬레이션 한다. 다양한 공격 방식이 QKD시스템에 보안성을 위협하는 원리를 설명하고 이를 극복하기 위한 양자 후처리 방식의 필요성을 논하고자 한다.
