Side-channel attacks currently constitute the main challenge for quantum key distribution
(QKD) to bridge theory with practice. So far two main approaches have been introduced to …

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

Detector-device-independent quantum key distribution (DDI-QKD) held the promise of being
robust to detector side channels, a major security loophole in quantum key distribution …

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD), which is immune to
all detector side-channel attacks, is the most promising solution to the security issues in …

There is a large gap between theory and practice in quantum key distribution (QKD)
because real devices do not satisfy the assumptions required by the security proofs. Here …

Recently, a quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme based on entanglement swapping,
called measurement-device-independent QKD (mdiQKD), was proposed to bypass all …

In the recent decade, it has been discovered that QKD systems are extremely vulnerable to
side-channel attacks. In particular, by exploiting the internal working knowledge of practical …
