Quantum Communication is the art of transferring an unknown quantum state from one location, Alice, to a distant one, Bob. This non-trivial task because no-cloning theorem which prevents merely using only classical means.
Fiber-optic multi-band transmission (MBT) aims at exploiting the low-loss spectral windows of single-mode fibers (SMFs) for data transport, expanding by ~11× available bandwidth C-band line systems and ~5× C+L-band systems'. MBT offers a high potential cost-efficient throughput upgrades optical networks, even in absence dark-fibers, as it utilizes more efficiently existing infrastructures. This represents main advantage compared to approaches such multi-mode/-core or spatial division...

Optical wideband communication systems aim at transmitting over several, if not all, of the low-loss windows single-mode fibre, i.e. O-, E-, S-, C-, and L-band. Recently, there has been a clear trend in industry to support additional bands beyond C-band. While C+L-band solutions are close commercialization first products emerging, research focus is shifting supporting also S-band and, finally, whole O- L-band (resulting total transmission bandwidth 365 nm). This contribution highlights...
