Applicability of Squeezed- and Coherent-State Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution over Satellite Links

We address the applicability of quantum key distribution with continuous-variable coherent and squeezed states over long-distance satellite-based links, considering low Earth orbits and taking into account strong varying channel attenuation, atmospheric turbulence and finite data ensemble size effec...
