Quantum key distribution—the establishment of information-theoretically secure keys based
on quantum physics—is mainly limited by its practical performance, which is characterised …

The security of quantum key distribution (QKD) is severely threatened by discrepancies
between realistic devices and theoretical assumptions. Recently, a significant framework …

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI QKD) removes all detector
side channels and enables secure QKD with an untrusted relay. It is suitable for building a …

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDIQKD) with the decoy-state
method negates security threats of both the imperfect single-photon source and detection …

The relatively low key rate seems to be the major barrier to its practical use for the decoy-
state measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD). We present a …

Quantum cryptography holds the promise to establish an information-theoretically secure
global network. All field tests of metropolitan-scale quantum networks to date are based on …

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) can remove all side-
channel attacks on detectors. In the context of the dramatic progress of discrete-variable MDI …

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI QKD) provides immunity
against all attacks targeting measurement devices. It is essential to implement MDI QKD in …
