摘要

Quantum key distribution (QKD), which is based on the no-cloning theorem of quantum mechanics, provides information-theoretic security for private key distribution. Currently, QKD systems face limitations regarding cost, environmental adaptability, and secure key rates. Herein, we develop a time- and wavelength-division multiplexing (TWDM) method and demonstrate a practical 5 GHz phase modulation QKD system. This system, which is based on the Faraday-Michelson interferometer with adaptive polarization compensation, achieved a secure key rate of 4.084 ± 0.178 Mbps, operating continuously for over 30 h on a 50 km optical fiber channel.
