Description
QKD uses quantum mechanics to ensure a secure line of communication between two parties. The implementation of QKD using the BB84 protocol in fibre optic cables is a challenge due to birefringence. However this can now be compensated for in a fibre optic cable, thus allowing polarization encoded QKD in fibre.
