Abstract:Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a promising tool for secure communication in the near future. In combination with one-time-pad technique, it provides an unconditionally secure communication channel (meaning that it is secure against an adversary, even with unlimited computational power), at least in principle. However, a major implementation challenge for some schemes is the reliable creation, transportation, and measurement of entangled photon pairs over long-distance fiber networks. Our project aims to exp… Show more
