All-day free-space quantum key distribution with thermal source towards quantum secure communications for unmanned vehicles

Abstract Unmanned vehicles (UV) demand highly secure communication system with high-cost-effectiveness. Bypassing the use of quantum coherent source and active modulations, passive-state-preparation (PSP) continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) with thermal source provides a favorable s...
