Integrating Quantum Key Distribution into Telecom Networks — •James Dynes — Toshiba Research Europe Limited, Cambridge, United Kingdom

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is one of the most mature applications of quantum physics to move out of the laboratory. Over the past fifteen years, there has been much progress in maturing QKD technology. In particular, field demonstrations of quantum key distribution (QKD) are an important step towards successful, full scale commercialization of QKD. In this talk we will report on recent progress of incorporating QKD with conventional telecom networks within the UK, thus paving the way towards building large scale commercial QKD networks.
