- Sponsored by a Leverhulme Trust research fellowship and the EPSRC through the UK quantum communications hub, this theoretical and experimental work introduced the quantum cryptographic protocol of measurement-device-independence (MDI) in the high-rate setting of continuous-variable systems. The work paved the way for the realisation of an end-to-end form of quantum key distribution where two remote parties are able to securely communicate even when they connect to an untrusted relay. According to Clarivate Analytics, this was one of the 18 core papers that made MDI the 7th hottest research front in 2016 for Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering.
