Measurement-device-independent (MDI) quantum key distribution (QKD) employs an untrusted relay to prevent the receiver from side-channel attacks commonly encountered in earlier QKD protocols. Conventional MDI QKD systems rely entirely on bulky and expensive optical setups that present great challeng...
