Efficient decoy-state quantum key distribution with quantified security

Opt Express. 2013 Oct 21;21(21):24550-65. doi: 10.1364/OE.21.024550.

Abstract

We analyse the finite-size security of the efficient Bennett-Brassard 1984 protocol implemented with decoy states and apply the results to a gigahertz-clocked quantum key distribution system. Despite the enhanced security level, the obtained secure key rates are the highest reported so far at all fibre distances.
