AI Article Synopsis
- The integration of quantum key distribution (QKD) with classical optical communication in the same fiber is becoming essential due to increasing demand for flexibility and fiber resources.
- A discrete variable QKD (DV-QKD) has been successfully implemented with up to 25 dBm launch power over 75 km of ultra-low-loss fiber, achieving high power levels not previously reported for simultaneous QKD and classical communication.
- The study demonstrates the viability and robustness of the QKD system for operation alongside ultra-high-power classical optical networks.
Article Abstract
The demand for the integration of quantum key distribution (QKD) and classical optical communication in the same optical fiber medium greatly increases as fiber resources and the flexibility of practical applications are taken into consideration. To satisfy the needs of the mass deployment of ultra-high power required for classical optical networks integrating QKD, we implement the discrete variable quantum key distribution (DV-QKD) under up to 25 dBm launch power from classical channels over 75 km on an ultra-low-loss (ULL) fiber by combining a finite-key security analysis method with the noise model of classical signals. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest power launched by classical signals on the coexistence of DV-QKD and classical communication. The results exhibit the feasibility and tolerance of our QKD system for use in ultra-high-power classical communications.

Precise and sensitive analysis of specific DNA in actual human bodily fluids is crucial for the early diagnosis of major diseases and for a deeper understanding of DNA functions. Herein, by grafting a peptide-conjugated hairpin DNA probe to a covalent organic framework (COF)-based photocathode, a robust anti-interference photoelectrochemical (PEC) DNA bioassay was explored, which could specifically resist potential interference from nonspecific proteins and reducing species. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) DNA was used as the target DNA (tDNA) for the PEC DNA bioassay.

This study presents the synthesis and characterization of CsNaBiCl nanocrystals (NCs) doped with varying concentrations of In to improve their luminescent properties. Utilizing a colloidal solution method, we systematically varied the In concentration to identify the optimal alloying level for enhancing the photoluminescence (PL) properties of the CsNaBiCl NCs. Structural analysis confirmed that the In-alloyed NCs maintained high crystallinity and a uniform cubic shape.

Achieving high mobility while minimizing off-current and static power consumption is critical for applications of two-dimensional field-effect transistors. Herein, a selenium (Se) sacrificial layer is introduced between the rhenium sulfide (ReS) semiconductor and source/drain electrode. With the Se layer and postannealing process, the ReS transistor significantly decreases the off-state current with a substantial increase in the on-state current density.
