Free space quantum key distribution over 500 meters using electrically driven quantum dot single-photon sources—a proof of principle experiment

Free space quantum key distribution over 500 meters using electrically driven quantum dot single-photon sources—a proof of principle experiment

Highly efficient single-photon sources (SPS) can increase the secure key rate of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems compared to conventional attenuated laser systems. Here we report on a free space QKD test using an electrically driven quantum dot single-photon source (QD SPS) that does not requ...
