Overcoming Intensity Limits for Long-Distance Quantum Key Distribution

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) enables the sharing of cryptographic keys secured by quantum mechanics. The BB84 protocol assumes single-photon sources, but practical systems rely on weak coherent pulses vulnerable to Photon-Number-Splitting (PNS) attacks. The Gottesman–Lo–Lütkenhaus–Preskill (GLLP)...
