摘要
An improved quantum key distribution test system operating at clock rates of up to 2GHz using a specially adapted commercially- available silicon single-photon counting module is presented. The use of an enhanced detector has improved the fiber-based quantum key distribution test system performance in terms of transmission distance and quantum bit error rate.
