The technologies used in underwater and air–water (A–W) wireless communication
networks (WCN) are increasingly attracting attention due to numerous modern applications …

We present a first detailed survey on underwater and air-water (AW) wireless
communication networks (WCNs) that mainly focuses on the security challenges and the …

The channel fading induced in the ocean quantum links is a major obstacle restricting the
performance of ocean quantum key distribution. To determine the ultimate limits at which …

We present a first detailed survey that focuses on the security challenges faced by the
underwater and air-water (AW) wireless communication networks (WCNs), as well as the …

Recently, underwater visible light communication (UVLC) has become a potential wireless
carrier candidate in the acrimonious mingled ocean straits. The combined strait of the North …

Simultaneous two-way classical and quantum (STCQ) communication combines both
continuous classical coherent optical communication and continuous-variable quantum key …

Satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD) has lately received considerable attention
due to its potential to establish a secure global network. Associated with its application is a …

The secret key rate is one of the main obstacles to the practical application of continuous-
variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD). In this paper, we propose a multiplexing …

A hybrid linear amplifier is inserted at the output of the source-in-the-middle distribution
protocol to overcome the shortcomings of the transmission distance. The modified protocol …

Building an underwater quantum network is necessary for various applications such as
ocean exploration, environmental monitoring, and national defense. Motivated by …
