Systems and methods for operating a quantum network system. The methods comprise, by a network node: generating optical clock pulses and photons using the optical clock pulses; generating a combined signal by combining the optical clock pulses with at least some of the photons such that a consistent temporal offset exits between the optical clock pulses and the first photons and/or a wave function of each photon at least partially overlaps an envelope of a respective one of the optical clock pulses; and transmitting the combined signal over a first quantum channel in which the optical clock pulses co-propagate with the photons.

Systems and methods for synchronization of photons over quantum channels with co-propagating clock pulses

A quantum communications system may include communications system that operates with a quantum key distribution (QKD) system, which includes a transmitter node, a receiver node, and a quantum communications channel coupling the transmitter node and receiver node. The transmitter node may cooperate with the quantum communications channel defining at least one Talbot effect image position along the quantum communications channel. The receiver node may be located along the quantum communications channel at the at least one Talbot effect image position.

The transmitter node may cooperate with the quantum communications channel defining a Talbot effect image position along the quantum communications channel. The receiver node is located along the quantum communications channel at a midpoint of the Talbot effect image position.
