Programmable Quantum Key Distribution Network for Dynamic and Multi-Granular Key Allocation

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: We demonstrate a QKD scheme enhanced with flexible key-rate allocation. A dynamic secure-key rate range of 18.7dB (76×) is obtained through programmable spectrum and detector choice, enabling a fine-grained and efficient use of network resources.
