Abstract
We study Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) using a broad-spectrum polarization-entangled photon source. We analyze polarization transformations over 10km deployed fiber channels, with measurements spanning one year of evolution. Finally, we propose strategies to mitigate the PMD effect for entangled-based QKD and elaborate an optimal filtering of the source.
