Sending-or-Not-Sending Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution with Light Source Monitoring

Twin-field quantum key distribution (TF-QKD) is proposed to achieve a remote key distribution with a maximum secure transmission distance up to over 500 km. Although the security of TF-QKD in its detection part is guaranteed, there are some remaining problems in the source part. The sending-or-not-s...
