Abstract The reference-frame-independent (RFI) quantum key distribution (QKD) is suitable for satellite-based links by removing the active alignment on the reference frames. However, how the beam wandering influences the performance of RFI-QKD remains a pending issue in satellite-to-ground links. In this paper, based on the mathematical model for characterizing beam wandering, we present the security analysis for satellite-to-ground RFI-QKD and analytically derive formulas for calculating the secret key rate with beam wandering. Our simulation results show that the performance of RFI-QKD is better than the Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84) QKD with beam wandering in asymptotic case. Furthermore, the degree of influences of beam wandering is specifically presented for satellite-to-ground RFI-QKD when statistical fluctuations are taken into account. Our work can provide theoretical support for the realization of RFI-QKD using satellite-to-ground links and have implications for the construction of large-scale satellite-based quantum networks.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
