Simplified intensity- and phase-modulated transmitter for modulator-free decoy-state quantum key distribution

Y. S. Lo, R. I. Woodward, N. Walk +8

Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows secret key exchange between two users with unconditional security. For QKD to be widely deployed, low cost and compactness are crucial require…

Backflashes in fast-gated avalanche photodiodes in quantum key distribution

A. Koehler-Sidki, J. F. Dynes, T. K. Paraïso +4

InGaAs single-photon avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are key enablers for high-bit rate quantum key distribution. However, the deviation of such detectors from ideal models can open s…
