Practical Analysis of Sending or Not-Sending Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution with Frequency Side Channels

The twin-field quantum key distribution (TF-QKD) and its variants can overcome the fundamental rate-distance limit of QKD. However, their physical implementations with the side channels remain the subject of further research. We test the side channel of a type of external intensity modulation that a...
