ABSTRACT
I will give an introduction into Quantum Key Distribution, which could be play an important role in future secure communications, in particular taking into account quantum computers. Some experimental challenges, in particular for QKD over long distances are discussed. I will present a recent experiment of QKD over 400km of optical fibre. Then, options for increasing this distance using quantum repeaters or satellites are briefly reviewed.
