Secret Key Rates and Optimization of BB84 and Decoy State Protocols Over Time-Varying Free-Space Optical Channels

Secret Key Rates and Optimization of BB84 and Decoy State Protocols Over Time-Varying Free-Space Optical Channels

We optimize secret key rates (SKRs) of weak coherent pulse (WCP)-based quantum key distribution (QKD) over time-varying free-space optical channels affected by atmospheric turbulence. The random irradiance fluctuation due to scintillation degrades the SKR performance of WCP-based QKD, and to improve...
