Quantum Metropolitan Optical Network based on Wavelength Division Multiplexing
Alex Ciurana, Jesus Martinez-Mateo, Momtchil Peev +4
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is maturing quickly. However, the current approaches to its application in optical networks make it an expensive technology. QKD networks deployed to…
Secure Optical Networks Based on Quantum Key Distribution and Weakly Trusted Repeaters
David Elkouss, Jesus Martinez-Mateo, Alex Ciurana +1
In this paper we explore how recent technologies can improve the security of optical networks. In particular, we study how to use quantum key distribution (QKD) in common optical n…
Analysis of a rate-adaptive reconciliation protocol and the effect of the leakage on the secret key rate
David Elkouss, Jesus Martinez-Mateo, Vicente Martin
Quantum key distribution performs the trick of growing a secret key in two distant places connected by a quantum channel. The main reason is that the legitimate users can bound the…
