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…
Experimental quantum key distribution beyond the repeaterless secret key capacity
M. Minder, M. Pittaluga, G. L. Roberts +4
Quantum communications promise to revolutionise the way information is exchanged and protected. Unlike their classical counterpart, they are based on dim optical pulses that cannot…
Intrinsic mitigation of the after-gate attack in quantum key distribution through fast-gated delayed detection
Alex Koehler-Sidki, James F. Dynes, Amos Martinez +5
The information theoretic security promised by quantum key distribution (QKD) holds as long as the assumptions in the theoretical model match the parameters in the physical impleme…
