Part of Focus on Quantum Cryptography

We present a fibre-optical quantum key distribution system. It works at 1550 nm and is based on the plug&play set-up. We tested the stability under field conditions using aerial and terrestrial cables and performed a key exchange over 67 km between Geneva and Lausanne.
