Quantum key distribution at telecom wavelengths with noise-free detectors

Quantum key distribution at telecom wavelengths with noise-free detectors

The length of a secure link over which a quantum key can be distributed depends on the efficiency and dark-count rate of the detectors used at the receiver. We report on the first demonstration of quantum key distribution using superconducting transition-edge sensors with high efficiency and negligible dark-count rates. Using …
