Taking advantage of ultra low loss fibres and low-noise superconducting detectors, we can distribute 6,000 secret bits per second over 100 km and 15 bits per second over 250km. %K SSPD %K quantum cryptography %K QKD %K COW %R 10.1088/1367-2630/11/7/075003 %U https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/11/7/075003 %P 075003
