Influence of laser chirp and interferometer delay and imbalance on the performance of a time-bin BB84 quantum key distribution system

Loïc Millet, Alberto Boaron, Rob Thew +1

We investigate the effect of interferometer delay and imbalance on the performance of a BB84 time-bin quantum key distribution system. We simulate the impact of interference visibi…

High-speed integrated QKD system

Rebecka Sax, Alberto Boaron, Gianluca Boso +10

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is nowadays a well established method for generating secret keys at a distance in an information-theoretic secure way, as the secrecy of QKD relies o…

Receiver-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution

Marie Ioannou, Maria Ana Pereira, Davide Rusca +9

We present protocols for quantum key distribution in a prepare-and-measure setup with an asymmetric level of trust. While the device of the sender (Alice) is partially characterize…
