Real-world two-photon interference and proof-of-principle quantum key distribution immune to detector attacks

Several vulnerabilities of single photon detectors have recently been exploited to compromise the security of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. In this letter we report the first proof-of-principle implementation of a new quantum key distribution protocol that is immune to any such attack. Mor...
