Device-independent quantum key distribution (DIQKD) is the art of establishing secure keys over untrusted channels using untrusted devices, thereby harnessing the ultimate quantum advantage for secure communications. Here we present a proof-of-concept DIQKD experiment between two users at locations 400 meters apart [1]. For this, we employ heralded entanglement between two remote single-atom quantum memories to verify the security of the generated key with a Bell-test [2]. We show that—based on asymptotic security estimates—our apparatus establishes secure keys in a fully device-independent way.
