Selective Placement of Hollow-Core Fibers for QKD and Classical Communication CoexistenceGiovanni Simone Sticca, Alessandro Gagliano, Memedhe Ibrahimi et al.
We investigate the benefits of partially upgrading optical networks with hollow-core fibers for QKD-classical communication coexistence. Results show that upgrading 40% of links in a metro topology can reduce the number of quantum modules by up to 49%.
