A new research article titled “Designing optimal Quantum Key Distribution Networks based on Time-Division Multiplexing of QKD transceivers: qTDM-QKDN” has been published in Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS), Volume 164, 2025.
The paper proposes qTDM-QKDN, an innovative network design approach that leverages time-division multiplexing (TDM) to share QKD transceivers across multiple connections. This method significantly improves:
- Network scalability
- Cost efficiency of QKD deployments
- Optimal planning of quantum-secure infrastructures
The proposed framework supports the evolution of large-scale, quantum-secure communication networks, addressing practical constraints in real-world QKD deployments.
