Demonstration of high-speed and low-complexity continuous variable quantum key distribution system with local local oscillator

Abstract We present an experimental demonstration of the feasibility of the first 20 + Mb/s Gaussian modulated coherent state continuous variable quantum key distribution system with a locally generated local oscillator at the receiver (LLO-CVQKD). To increase the signal repetition rate, and hence t...
