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…

Phase-correlation-free quantum key distribution source operating at gigahertz rates
Shashank Kumar, Alessandro Marcomini, Loïc Millet +10
Phase randomization is essential for the security of practical decoy-state quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. Commonly, implementations rely on laser sources which are either…

Analytical Model of Clock Drift in Quantum Key Distribution and a Simple Synchronization Algorithm
Loïc Millet, Boris Korzh, Rob Thew +1
Clock synchronization is critical for maintaining low error rates in quantum key distribution. Here, we describe how a frequency mismatch between the transmitter and receiver clock…
