Improved Decoy-State Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution With Imperfect Source Encoding

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) is designed to be secure against any detector-side channel attacks. However, assumption of characterized sources in preparation is a demanding requirement and can not be fully satisfied in real-life implementations. Luckily, by utiliz...
