Experimental Realization of Decoy State Polarization Encoding Measurement-device-independent Quantum Key Distribution

Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows two remote parties to generate secret keys for cryptographic purposes. Its security has been proven with some assumptions. However, practical realizations may not comply with all the assumptions, leading to various attacks. Founded on the observation that almost...
