Experimental Demonstration of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) for Energy-Efficient Software-Defined Internet of Things

A software-defined IoT network is integrated with fibre-based QKD technology to provide the IoT devices with quantum-secure keys to enhance their battery lifetime. Experimental demonstration reveals an 18% energy efficiency improvement compared to the standard device key generation.
