Optimal protocol Key generating rates for 3 QKD-protocol under different scenarios

AbstractQuantum key distribution (QKD) provides us with an unprecedentedly secure way of communication, and the future of QKD protocols is therefore extremely promising. This dataset concerns the key generating rates of 3 well-known protocols under different scenarios. These protocols are BB84, Measurement device independent QKD (MDI-QKD) and Twin-Field QKD (TF-QKD). What compose a specific scenario are 5 features: dark count rate (Y0), misalignment error rate (ed), efficiency of single photon detectors (η), numbers of pulses (N), and transmission distance (L). It also features a pair of training and testing set which we use to train a machine learning model to determine which protocol is the optimal one for a specific scenario.
