Abstract
The finite-key effects in quantum access networks are studied. We consider a quantum-classical network where each user is equipped with a certain wavelength to exchange secure keys, using quantum key distribution techniques, and another one to exchange classical data. Users are connected to the central office via a passive optical network. The quantum users are connected to the fiber links via an indoor wireless channel. We investigate the regimes of operation within which a secure key can be exchanged in a reasonable amount of time. We find out that by properly designing the system, it is possible to run both quantum and classical systems at their full capacity.
