To improve the performance of a quantum-key-distribution (QKD) system, high speed, low
dark count single photon detectors (or low-noise homodyne detectors) are required …

The security of quantum key distribution (QKD) can easily be obscured if the eavesdropper
can utilize technical imperfections in the actual implementation. Here, we describe and …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers information‐theoretic security by leveraging the
principles of quantum mechanics. This means the security is independent of all future …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols with threshold detectors are driving high-
performance QKD demonstrations. The corresponding security proofs usually assume that …

We study decoy-state measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution using
heralded single-photon sources. This has the advantage that the observed error rate in the X …

To increase dramatically the distance and the secure key generation rate of quantum key
distribution (QKD), the idea of quantum decoys—signals of different intensities—has recently …

We propose a quantum key distribution scheme which closely matches the performance of a
perfect single photon source. It nearly attains the physical upper bound in terms of key …

We present an unconventional form of decoy-state technique to make the single-photon
Bennett 1992 protocol robust against losses and noise of a communication channel. Two …

A novel protocol, measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD),
removes all attacks from the detection system, the most vulnerable part in QKD …

The use of decoy states in quantum key distribution (QKD) has provided a method for
substantially increasing the secret key rate and distance that can be covered by QKD …
