Performance monitoring for quantum key distribution systems by Yu, Timothy Shengrong

“…These limitations lead to the proposed development of a polarisation-encoded QKD system based on an adaptive polarisation state monitoring and recovery scheme that adapts the system to the existing polarisation drift condition in the transmission link to enhance its reliability and availability. On the other hand, current high-speed single-photon detection schemes are often designed to work with idealised parameters such as fixed gating rate and operating temperature. …”
