Seaworthy Quantum Key Distribution Design and Validation (SEAKEY)

Abstract

In this report we summarize the technical progress accomplished during the third quarter of the second year of the SeaKey program. In this quarter we started work on our experimental option task and that progress will be reported here. This quarter we have continued work calculating the key rates achievable with different mode geometries capitalizing on multiple spatial modes to increase achievable key rates in high loss channels. In addition, we describe the initial designs for the CV-QKD transmitter and receiver we are planning to build, and provide an update on the ordering of equipment to build those sub-systems.
