Beating the repeaterless bound with adaptive measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution

Surpassing the repeaterless bound is a crucial task on the way towards realizing long-distance quantum key distribution. In this paper, we focus on the protocol proposed by Azuma et al (2015 Nat. Commun. 6 10171), which can beat this bound with idealized devices. We investigate the robustness of thi...
