DI-QKD is difficult to implement and its performance in a practical scenario is still limited because it requires loophole-free Bell inequality violations, which necessitate high-quality entanglement among distant parties and near-perfect quantum detection.
“However, DI-QKD is difficult to implement and its performance, on a practical scenario, are still limited [43] because it requires loophole-free Bell inequality violations, which necessitate high-quality entanglement among distant parties and near-perfect quantum detection, something current technologies cannot still provide in full [57], or at least not under commonly accepted practicality assum”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
