Quantum access networks allow a large number of users to access quantum networks,
which can be regarded as an important part of the practical application for quantum …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides an information-theoretically secure method to
share keys between legitimate users. To achieve large-scale deployment of QKD, it should …

We propose a quantum-classical access network architecture based on multicore fiber to
scale up the number of quantum key distribution (QKD) users. Quantum signals are …

Optical access networks connect multiple endpoints to a common network node via shared
fibre infrastructure. They will play a vital role to scale up the number of users in quantum key …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a physical layer encryption technique that enables two
distant parties to exchange secure keys with information-theoretic security. In the last two …

Abstract To perform Quantum Key Distribution, the mastering of the extremely weak signals
carried by the quantum channel is required. Transporting these signals without disturbance …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) would play an important role in future information
technologies due to its theoretically proven security based on the laws of quantum …

It is well known that optical access networks are able to provide high data rates over long
distances and to a reasonable number of users. Security and privacy are always a challenge …

The quantum network makes use of quantum states to transmit data, which will revolutionize
classical communication and allow for some breakthrough applications. Quantum key …
