Long-term analysis of efficient-BB84 4-node network with optical switches in metropolitan environment
Alberto De Toni, Edoardo Bortolozzo, Alessandro Emanuele +5
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a leading technology for enabling information-theoretic secure communication, with protocols such as BB84 and its variants already deployed in pra…
Intermodal quantum key distribution field trial with active switching between fiber and free-space channels
Francesco Picciariello, Ilektra Karakosta-Amarantidou, Edoardo Rossi +6
Intermodal quantum key distribution enables the full interoperability of fiber networks and free-space channels, which are both necessary elements for the development of a global q…
International time transfer between precise timing facilities secured with a quantum key distribution network
Francesco Picciariello, Francesco Vedovato, Davide Orsucci +14
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs), such as GPS and Galileo, provide precise time and space coordinates globally and constitute part of the critical infrastructure of mode…
Cross-encoded quantum key distribution exploiting time-bin and polarization states with qubit-based synchronization
Davide Scalcon, Costantino Agnesi, Marco Avesani +5
Robust implementation of quantum key distribution requires precise state generation and measurements, as well as a transmission that is resistant to channel disturbances. However,…
Deployment-ready quantum key distribution over a classical network infrastructure in Padua
Marco Avesani, Giulio Foletto, Matteo Padovan +13
Current technological progress is driving Quantum Key Distribution towards a commercial and world widescale expansion. Its capability to deliver unconditionally secure communicatio…
Versatile and concurrent FPGA-based architecture for practical quantum communication systems
Andrea Stanco, Francesco B. L. Santagiustina, Luca Calderaro +5
This work presents a hardware and software architecture which can be used in those systems that implement practical Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Quantum Random Number Generat…
