* The quantum transmission consists of series of very dim pulses of coherent or incoherent polarized light rather than individual photons. | |||
* The receiver attempts to detect the pulses by noisy, imperfectly quantum-efficient detectors such as photomultiplier tubes. | |||
* The pulses cannot be stored for a significant length of time, so the receiver must measure each pulse before the next one arrives or else lose the opportunity of measuring it at all. | |||
