A Plug&Play Telecom-Wavelength Single-Photon Source for Quantum Key Distribution

We report on BB84 quantum key distribution tests employing a benchtop plug&play quantum-dot based single-photon source operating at O-band wavelengths. We perform a detailed characterization and exploit optimized temporal filters to maximize the tolerable losses.
