2×N twin-field quantum key distribution network configuration based on polarization, wavelength, and time division multiplexing
Abstract Developing quantum key distribution (QKD) has been recently directed toward distance extension and network expansion for real-world secure communications. Considering a recent report on a quantum communication network over 4,600 km, it seems that QKD networks using conventional protocols ha...
