Practical Countermeasure Against Attacks Exploiting Detection Efficiency Mismatch in Quantum Key Distribution

Ben J. Taylor, Peter R. Smith, James F. Dynes +4

We demonstrate a practical countermeasure against a well-known class of attacks on quantum key distribution (QKD) systems that exploit detection efficiency mismatch, where the rece…

Phase noise characterisation of a 2-km Hollow-Core Nested Antiresonant Nodeless Fibre for Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution

Mariella Minder, Sophie Albosh, Obada Alia +5

The performance of quantum key distribution (QKD) is heavily dependent on the physical properties of the channel over which it is executed. Propagation losses and perturbations in…

Autonomous Recognition of Erroneous Raw Key Bit Bias in Quantum Key Distribution

Matt Young, Marco Lucamarini, Stefano Pirandola

As Quantum Key Distribution technologies mature, it is pertinent to consider these systems in contexts beyond lab settings, and how these systems may have to operate autonomously.…

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…

Real-time operation of a multi-rate, multi-protocol quantum key distribution transmitter

Innocenzo De Marco, Robert I. Woodward, George L. Roberts +6

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the best candidate for securing communications against attackers, who may in the future exploit quantum-enhanced computational powers to break cla…
