Abstract
This paper presents a continuous-variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD) system that generates composable keys secure against collective attacks, a significant step towards practicality and performance parity with discrete-variable QKD. The system uses Gaussian-modulated coherent states and overcomes previous limitations by improving the security proof and achieving fast, low-noise, and highly stable system operation. Composable keys are generated with approximately 2 × 10⁸ coherent states.
