Measurement device-independent quantum key distribution with vector vortex modes under diverse weather conditions

Abstract Most quantum key distribution schemes exploiting orbital angular momentum-carrying optical beams are based on conventional set-ups, opening up the possibility of detector side-channel attacks. These optical beams also suffer from spatial aberrations due to atmospheric turbulence and unfavor...
