A quantum internet is the holy grail of quantum information processing, enabling the
deployment of a broad range of quantum technologies and protocols on a global scale …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) aims to generate secure private keys shared by two remote
parties. With its security being protected by principles of quantum mechanics, some …

Twin-field quantum key distribution can overcome the secret key capacity of repeaterless
quantum key distribution via single-photon interference. However, to compensate for the …

Secure key rate (SKR) of point-point quantum key distribution (QKD) is fundamentally
bounded by the rate-loss limit. Recent breakthrough of twin-field (TF) QKD can overcome …

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

Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides in principle unconditional security of key sharing
based on the laws of physics only. In the last decade, several experimental and commercial …

Twin-field (TF) quantum key distribution (QKD) has rapidly risen as the most viable solution
to long-distance secure fibre communication thanks to its fundamentally repeater-like rate …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides a promising solution for sharing information-
theoretic secure keys between remote peers with physics-based protocols. According to the …

Deployed optical clocks will improve positioning for navigational autonomy, provide remote
time standards for geophysical monitoring and distributed coherent sensing, allow time …

Quantum secret sharing (QSS) is one of the basic communication primitives in future
quantum networks which addresses part of the basic cryptographic tasks of multiparty …
