A 18km-long free-space testbed for intermodal Quantum Key Distribution nearby Padova

We present the testbed for intermodal Quantum Key Distribution over a free-space channel of 18 km that we are developing nearby the metropolitan area of Padova. The receiver implements adaptive optics for efficient single-mode-fiber coupling.
