Polarization-Stable Long-Distance Interference of Independent Photons for Quantum Communications

Interference between fully-independent faint laser sources over two 8.5-km full polarization-controlled fiber links was performed, with stable visibility of 47.8%, an essential step towards practical implementation of quantum communication protocols.
