Real-time CV-QKD receiver achieves peak 2.9 Mbit/s secret-key-rates over 12.8 km of fiber, while co-propagating 15 classical channels, separated 1 nm from the quantum signal. Performance degrades at higher launch powers due to crosstalk.
In practical implementation of quantum key distributions (QKD), it requires efficient, real-time feedback control to maintain system stability when facing disturbance from either external environment or imperfect internal components.…

The evolution of a quantum system comprises two fundamental processes--continuous unitary dynamics and stochastic measurement-induced jumps. The latter are often viewed as a source of decoherence. Can two histories of such an evolution,…
Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) quasiprobability is a quantum analog of phase space probability of classical statistical mechanics, allowing negative or/and nonreal values. It gives an informationally complete representation of a quantum state. Recent…
