Long-distance QKD
Twin-field protocols use single-photon interference at a middle station to improve distance scaling under strict phase control.
Alice and Bob encode phase-related states that interfere at a central measurement node.
The key-rate advantage depends on phase stabilization, decoy analysis, and finite-key terms not included in the MVP.
