# Quantum key distribution over 30 km of standard fiber using energy-time entangled photon pairs: a comparison of two chromatic dispersion reduction methods

 Authors: S Fasel, N Gisin, G Ribordy, H Zbinden European Physical Journal D 30, 143–148 (2004) http://dx.doi.org/10.1140/epjd/e2004-00080-8 We present a full implementation of a quantum key distribution system using energy-time entangled photon pairs over a 30 km standard telecom fiber quantum channel. Two bases of two orthogonal states are implemented and the set-up is shown to be robust to environmental constraints such as temperature variation. Two different ways to manage chromatic dispersion in the quantum channel are discussed. qcryptoentangledphoton.pdf
