Full daylight quantum-key-distribution at 1550 nm enabled by integrated silicon photonics

Abstract The future envisaged global-scale quantum-communication network will comprise various nodes interconnected via optical fibers or free-space channels, depending on the link distance. The free-space segment of such a network should guarantee certain key requirements, such as daytime operation...
