The impact of spot‐size on single‐photon avalanche diode timing‐jitter and quantum key distribution

Abstract In free‐space implementations of Quantum key distribution (QKD), the wide adoption of near‐Infrared wavelengths has led to the common use of silicon single‐photon avalanche diodes (Si‐SPAD) for receiver systems. While the impacts of some SPAD properties on QKD have been explored extensively...
