Coexistence of 11.2Tb/s Carrier-Grade Classical Channels and a DV-QKD Channel over a 7-Core Multicore FibreEmilio Hugues-Salas, Qibing Wang, Rui Wang et al.
We successfully demonstrate coexistence of record-high 11.2 Tb/s (56x200Gb/s) classical channels with a discrete-variable-QKD channel over a multicore fibre. Continuous secret key generation is confirmed together with classical channel performance below the SDFEC limit and a minimum quantum channel spacing of 17nm in the C-band.

Experimental Demonstration of DDoS Mitigation over a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Network Using Software Defined Networking (SDN)Emilio Hugues-Salas, Foteini Ntavou, Yanni Ou et al.
We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, DDoS mitigation of QKD-based networks utilizing a software defined network application. Successful quantum-secured link allocation is achieved after a DDoS attack based on real-time monitoring of quantum parameters

First Experimental Demonstration of Secure NFV Orchestration over an SDN-Controlled Optical Network with Time-Shared Quantum Key Distribution ResourcesAlejandro Aguado, Emilio Hugues-Salas, Paul Anthony Haigh et al.
We demonstrate, for the first time, a secure optical network architecture that combines NFV orchestration and SDN control with quantum key distribution (QKD) technology. A novel time-shared QKD network design is presented as a cost-effective solution for practical networks.
