Abstract

Nowadays, a technological challenge is to integrate quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols in already present telecommunication fiber networks. Twin-field QKD is one of the most promising techniques on long distances, but requires stabilizing the optical length of the communication channels between parties. Adapting interferometry techniques derived from frequency metrology, we developed a solution for the simultaneous key sharing and channel length control, and we demonstrated it on a 206 km field-deployed fiber with 65 dB loss. Our method reduces the quantum-bit-error-rate contributed by channel length variations to <1%, representing an effective solution for real-world quantum communications.
