The paper I co-authored (“A Critical Analysis of Deployed Use Cases for Quantum Key Distribution and Comparison with Post-Quantum Cryptography”) was accepted for publication by “EPJ Quantum Technology” today. 😊
You can find the preprint here, Nick will eventually update it with the final changes.
In short: We looked into existing use-cases for #QuantumKeyDistribution and whether they make any sense and did so as a joint team between people with a QKD-background and cryptographers who started out very critical of QKD. (I’m firmly in the latter camp.)
My personal summary (though some of my co-authors won’t share it to this extend): #QKD is bullshit and not useful for practical purposes as it stands.
