Feasibility of satellite-to-ground continuous-variable quantum key distribution

Abstract Establishing secure communication links at a global scale is a major potential application of quantum information science but also extremely challenging for the underlying technology. Although milestone experiments using satellite-to-ground links and exploiting singe-photon encoding for imp...
