ITMO Researchers Suggest New Way to Improve Quantum Encryption in Optical Fiber Communication Lines
… dispersion, which distorts the signal during its transmission over distances up to 300 km. The optical fiber used for signal transmission in quantum communication has different refraction indexes for waves of different lengths. The QKD protocol consists of not one spectral line but a multitude of subcarrier frequencies. The researchers have come to the conclusion th…
