Practical high-dimensional quantum key distribution with decoy states

High-dimensional quantum key distribution (HD-QKD) allows two parties to generate multiple secure bits of information per detected photon. In this work, we show that decoy-state protocols can be practically implemented for HD-QKD using only one or two decoy states. HD-QKD with two decoy states, unde...
