Abstract

In a society based on the continuous exchange of sensitive data and information, the importance of secure and trustful communications is essential. Quantum key distribution (QKD) makes it possible to share data in an unconditionally secure way exploiting the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics [1]. During the last 30 years, many QKD protocols have been developed and tested, achieving long distance transmission [2] and secret key rates up to hundreds of Mbits per second [3]. However, this technology is still far from a large-scale deployment in existing fiber networks and telecom infrastructures, due to multiple factors: low secret-key rate, limited distance between users, lack of applications, high costs and high requirements in terms of low noise fiber links.
