SUMMARY:QSIP Webinar - Female Role Models: Dr. Rui Lin
DESCRIPTION:On May 28\, 12:00-13:00\, it is time for our next webinar.\n\nT
 his webinar is a part of the QSIP's equality work and we hope that this pr
 esentation can encourage younger females to pursue a career with in Quantu
 m Technology.\n\n\n\n\nTitle\nPhysical-layer Impairment in Integrating QKD
  to Optical Fiber Networks\n\n\n\nAbstract\nQuantum Key Distribution (QKD)
  is currently the most mature quantum technology\, transitioning from lab
 oratory research to real-world secure communication\napplications. However
 \, the deployment of dedicated infrastructure for QKD remains prohibitivel
 y expensive. A more practical and scalable approach is to integrate QKD wi
 th existing optical communication networks\, leveraging the current infra
 structure to reduce deployment costs. In this work\, we explore the primar
 y challenges associated with such integration. As QKD systems are expected
  to operate alongside classical data traffic—especially in dense\, resou
 rce-constrained optical networks—it becomes essential to understand and 
 mitigate the interactions between quantum and classical signals. A central
  focus of our study is the physical-layer impairments resulting from the c
 o-propagation of quantum and classical signals within the same optical fib
 er. In addition\, we examine the impairments introduced by the switching c
 omponents in the network\, such as optical switches and reconfigurable opt
 ical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs)\, which can further degrade quantum si
 gnal quality and pose additional hurdles for seamless QKD integration.&nbs
 p\;\n\nBio\nDr. Rui Lin received her Ph.D. in Communication Systems from K
 TH Royal Institute of Technology in 2017\, where she also held a postdocto
 ral position focusing on high-speed optical communication systems. Since 
 2019\, she has been a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology\, wh
 ere she broadened her expertise into quantumcommunication and networks. He
 r current research lies at the intersection of classical and quantum netwo
 rking. She currently leads a research group of four researchers focused o
 n the emerging field of quantum networks.\n\n\n\n\nIf you are interested t
