Impact of Disorder on Microscopic Superconducting and Normal‐State Responses in a Kagome Metal
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Using depth‐resolved, field‐ and pressure‐dependent μSR$\umu{\rm SR}$ measurements, we show that disorder in Ta‐doped KV3Sb5 drives a crossover from nodal to nodeless superconductivity while strongly modifying the normal‐state magnetic response. Our results reveal that disorder affects superconductivity and magnetism in fundamentally different ways ...

High-Dimensional Quantum Key Distribution in Quantum Access Networks
IEEE Photonics JournalWe investigate the use of high-dimensional quantum key distribution (HD-QKD) for wireless access to hybrid quantum-classical networks. We use $d$-dimensional time-phase encoded states to exchange a secret key between an indoor wireless user and the ...
