Qubit-Based Clock Synchronization for QKD Systems Using a Bayesian Approach
Quantum key distribution (QKD) systems provide a method for two users to exchange a provably secure key. Synchronizing the users’ clocks is an essential step before a secure key can be distilled. Qubit-based synchronization protocols directly use the transmitted quantum states to achieve synchroniza...
