Abstract :
A recent progress of quantum key distribution (QKD) technique will be reviewed. We will also introduce key technologies of our high-speed QKD system, highly efficient photon detectors with small dark count probability, and synchronization scheme we have implemented in order to achieve long-time operation of QKD field trials.
