Quantum information

key distribution scheme using single-photon interference of two phase-matched fields at a central node, letting key rate scale with the square root of channel loss.

In quantum information, twin-field quantum key distribution refers to key distribution scheme using single-photon interference of two phase-matched fields at a central node, letting key rate scale with the square root of channel loss. This meaning comes from Lucamarini (2018) in Nature.[1]
