Title: Communication systems and methods

Abstract

A communication system is provided that includes a first quantum key distribution device and a communication device. The first quantum key distribution device is configured to be coupled to a second quantum key distribution device over a quantum channel and to generate a quantum key based on a quantum state transmitted along the quantum channel. The communication device is communicatively connected to the first quantum key distribution device within a network. The communication device is configured to receive the quantum key from the first quantum key distribution device and transmit the quantum key to an end device in the network via a classical link to enable the end device to use the quantum key for encrypting and/or decrypting messages communicated through the network.
