Experimental study of secure quantum key distribution with source and detection imperfections
Experimental study of secure quantum key distribution with source and detection imperfections
Quantum key distribution (QKD), guaranteed by the principle of quantum physics, is a promising solution for future secure information and communication technology. However, device imperfections compromise the security of real-life QKD systems, restricting the wide deployment of QKD. This study reports a decoy-state Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84) QKD experiment that considers …
