Abstract

Abstract Polarization‐dependent loss (PDL) poses a critical challenge in implementing free‐space quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. This study investigated the theoretical and experimental impact of PDL on polarization‐encoded qubits and experimentally demonstrated a method to mitigate these effects. The proposed compensation method could effectively restore the integrity of polarization states, enhancing the robustness and security of QKD systems. Specifically, a secret key rate of 94.01% could be recovered with 5 dB PDL. This study contributes to advancing scalable and secure quantum communication technologies by addressing the critical issue of PDL in QKD systems.
