Fast adaptive optics for high-dimensional quantum communications in turbulent channels

Abstract Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) promises a provably secure method to transmit information from one party to another. Free-space QKD allows for this information to be sent over great distances and in places where fibre-based communications cannot be implemented, such as ground-satellite. The...
