Systematic Numerical Study of the Propagation of Monochromatic Radiation through a Stationary Atmosphere in a Model of Plane Plane-Parallel Layers

Abstract

In this paper, the authors compare the security bounds for different quantum communication protocols with the numerically evaluated losses in the transmission channel, due to the interaction between the atmosphere and the photon, which is the information carrier. The analysis is carried out using a free-source library, which can solve the radiative transfer equation for a parallel-plane atmosphere.
