Simplified intensity- and phase-modulated transmitter for modulator-free decoy-state quantum key distribution

Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows secret key exchange between two users with unconditional security. For QKD to be widely deployed, low cost and compactness are crucial requirements alongside high performance. Currently, the majority of QKD systems demonstrated rely on bulk intensity and phase m...
