The physical processes that contribute to the single photon fading and loss need to be carefully analyzed in the theory of quantum light transmission through the atmospheric turbulence. Here we propose a single photon receiving model, and analyze the influence of the atmospheric turbulence on the single photon transmission. We simulate and analyze the photon counting and the final key generation rate under different intensity of the atmospheric turbulence. Our model can be used to reflect the optical coupling and loss between transmitter and receiving terminal.
