Hybrid QKD Protocol Outperforming Both DV- and CV-QKD Protocols

To overcome the limitations of both discrete variable (DV) and continuous variable (CV) QKD protocols, in this paper, a hybrid QKD protocol is proposed. In the proposed hybrid QKD protocol, Alice simultaneously performs discrete modulation (DM)-based encoding for CV-QKD subsystem and time-phase enco...
