Plug-n-Play Three Pulse Twin Field QKD
Anagha Gayathri, Aryan Bhardwaj, Nilesh Sharma +3
We present the experimental implementation of a three-time-bin phase-encoded Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution (TF-QKD) protocol using a Sagnac-based star-topology plug-and-play…

Backflash Attack on Coherent One-Way Quantum Key Distribution
Ashutosh Kumar Singh, Nilesh Sharma, Vaibhav Pratap Singh +1
In this article, we experimentally demonstrate an eavesdropper's (Eve's) information gain by exploiting the breakdown flash generated by the single photon avalanche detector (SPAD)…

Mitigating imperfections in Differential Phase Shift Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution via Plug-and-Play architecture
Nilesh Sharma, Shashank Kumar Ranu, Prabha Mandayam +1
Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) was originally proposed as a means to address the issue of detector side-channel attacks and enable finite secure…
