Quantum Key Distribution with High-Speed Superconducting Single-Photon Detectors
Abstract
We explore the potential of high-speed nanowire superconducting single-photon detectors for quantum key distribution in fiber, over long distances (at 1550 nanometers) and at high bit rates (at 850 nanometers).
