The establishment of quantum communication links over a global scale is enabled by
satellite nodes. We examine the influence of the Earth's atmosphere on the performance of …

Reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution (RFI-QKD) can generate secret keys
without the alignment of reference frames. However, in most RFI-QKD systems, the …

Reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution (RFI-QKD) can generate secure
keys between two remote peers with an unknown and slowly drifted reference frame. It …

Reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution (RFI-QKD) provides a practical way
to generate secret keys between two remote parties without sharing common reference …

In free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) between moving parties, eg, free-space QKD
via satellite, the reference frame rotation and fluctuation degrades the performance of QKD …

It is well known that certain quantum correlations like quantum steering exhibit a
monogamous relationship. In this paper, we exploit the asymmetric nature of quantum …

Rapidly and randomly drifted reference frames will shorten the transmission distance and
decrease the secure key rate of realistic quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. In this …

Reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution (RFI-QKD) can generate secret keys
with the slow drift of reference frames. However, the performance of practical RFI-QKD …

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) is immune to all
detector side-channel attacks. However, practical implementations of MDI-QKD, which …

Reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution (RFI-QKD) can avoid real-time
calibration operation of reference frames and improve the efficiency of the communication …
