Current status of the DARPA quantum network
TL;DR: This paper reports the current status of the DARPA Quantum Network, which became fully operational in BBN's laboratory in October 2003, and has been continuously running in 6 nodes operating through telecommunications fiber between Harvard University, Boston University, and BBN since June 2004.

Current status of the DARPA Quantum Network
TL;DR: The DARPA Quantum Network as mentioned in this paper is the world's first quantum cryptography network, and perhaps also the first QKD systems providing continuous operation across a metropolitan area, which has been continuously running in 6 nodes operating through telecommunications fiber between Harvard University, Boston University, and BBN since June 2004.

TL;DR: The ADROIT project is building an open-source software-defined data radio, intended to be controlled by cognitive applications, to create cognitive radio teams.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Parameter estimation and control in a QKD link
TL;DR: A technique of parameter estimation and control in a phase-encoded quantum key distribution that uses continuous control of receiver-interferometer differential path length to maintain alignment with the transmitter.
