Schematic daigram of four-dimensional time-bin HD-QKD system. (a) Representation of time-bin states (left) and phase states (right). (b) Experimental setup of time-bin HD-QKD system. 1550-nm LD means that Alice prepares signals with 1550-nm laser diode, ATT is the attenuator which is used to attenuate the light to single-photon level, BS is the beam splitter, DI1, DI2, and DI3 are delay-line interferometers which are used to direct different phase states to the corresponding detectors, D t and D0, D1, D2, D3 are single-photon detectors which are used to detect time-bin states and phase states, respectively. See more details in Ref. [41].
