High-Rate Quantum Key Distribution with Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors

We demonstrate the potential for 1.85 Mbit/s secure key rates over 101 km of fiber, >100 times faster than previously demonstrated, using the differential phase shift quantum key distribution protocol and superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors.
