Performance and security of 5 GHz repetition rate polarization-based Quantum Key Distribution
Fadri Grünenfelder, Alberto Boaron, Davide Rusca +2
We present and characterize a source for a 5 GHz clocked polarization-based simplified BB84 protocol. Secret keys are distributed over 151.5 km of standard telecom fiber at a rate…
Security proof for a simplified BB84-like QKD protocol
Davide Rusca, Alberto Boaron, Marcos Curty +2
The security of quantum key distribution (QKD) has been proven for different protocols, in particular for the BB84 protocol. It has been shown that this scheme is robust against ev…
Secure quantum key distribution over 421 km of optical fiber
Alberto Boaron, Gianluca Boso, Davide Rusca +10
We present a quantum key distribution system with a 2.5 GHz repetition rate using a three-state time-bin protocol combined with a one-decoy approach. Taking advantage of supercondu…
Simple 2.5 GHz time-bin quantum key distribution
Alberto Boaron, Boris Korzh, Raphael Houlmann +7
We present a 2.5 GHz quantum key distribution setup with the emphasis on a simple experimental realization. It features a three-state time-bin protocol based on a pulsed diode lase…
