Quantum key distribution (QKD) aims to generate secure private keys shared by two remote
parties. With its security being protected by principles of quantum mechanics, some …

Twin-field quantum key distribution can overcome the secret key capacity of repeaterless
quantum key distribution via single-photon interference. However, to compensate for the …

Quantum key distribution—the establishment of information-theoretically secure keys based
on quantum physics—is mainly limited by its practical performance, which is characterised …

Quantum cryptography is arguably the fastest growing area in quantum information science.
Novel theoretical protocols are designed on a regular basis, security proofs are constantly …

The basic principle of quantum mechanics guarantees the unconditional security of quantum
key distribution (QKD),,,–at the cost of forbidding the amplification of a quantum state. As a …

In principle, quantum key distribution (QKD) offers information-theoretic security based on
the laws of physics. In practice, however, the imperfections of realistic devices might …

The ability to communicate quantum information over long distances is of central importance
in quantum science and engineering. Although some applications of quantum …

Twin-field (TF) quantum key distribution (QKD) fundamentally alters the rate-distance
relationship of QKD, offering the scaling of a single-node quantum repeater. Although recent …
