  • Quantum key distribution with photons has advanced beyond first few-meter laboratory demonstrations to free-space or fiber-based distributions over hundred kilometers, and is rapidly commercialized into real-life inter-city cryptographic networks.

    “Thanks to this property, quantum key distribution with photons has now went long beyond first few-meter laboratory demonstrations, to free-space or fiber-based distributions over hundred kilometers (see e.g.Ursin et al, 2007;Rosenberg et at., 2007), and is rapidly commercialized into real life inter-city cryptographic networks.”

  • Entanglement has been distributed over long distances: over 10.5 km free space in Hefei by Peng et al. (2005), and in an asymmetric arrangement one photon was sent over 144 km between the islands of La Palma and Teneriffe by Ursin et al. (2007).

    “For example, over 10.5 km free space in Hefei by Peng et al. (2005), or in an asymmetric arrangement, in the case of which one photon is sent over 144 km between the islands of La Palma and Teneriffe (Ursin et al 2007).”

  • Free-space distribution of entangled photon pairs over 10 km was achieved in 2005, and over 144 km more recently.

    “In section VI.E we discuss steps on the road toward satellite-based quantum communication and its first step, i.e., free-space distribution of entangled photon pairs over a distance of 10 km achieved in 2005 (Resch et al., 2005;Peng et al., 2005) and, more recently, over 144 km (Ursin et al., 2007;Fedrizzi et al., 2009).”

  • The entanglement of the received two-photon states was confirmed by violating the CHSH inequality by more than 5 standard deviations.

  • A 144-km free-space link was built between two Canary Islands and used for distribution of one photon of an entangled pair (Ursin et al., 2007), and later, both photons (Fedrizzi et al., 2009).

    “More recently, a 144-km free-space link was built between two Canary Islands and used for distribution of one photon of an entangled pair (Ursin et al., 2007), and later, both photons (Fedrizzi et al., 2009).”

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.
