We experimentally demonstrate a hybrid configuration for quantum key distribution that combines the simplicity of distributed-phase-reference protocols with the self-referencing features and polarization insensitivity of ...

Nowadays, high security levels are required to transmit critical information for government, private and personal sectors. As a countermeasure, the Quantum Key Distribution systems are the best option in order to protect ...

Side-channel attacks currently constitute the main challenge for quantum key distribution (QKD) to bridge theory with practice. So far two main approaches have been introduced to address this problem, (full) device-independent ...

A continuous variable-quantum key distribution system prototype that uses weak coherent states with a diffused phase, commercial off-the-shelf devices, complete free space 90-degrees hybrid and simplified quantum protocol ...
