abstract = {Quantum key distribution (QKD) enables secret-key exchange based on quantum mechanics but faces challenges from channel loss, noise, and finite-key effects that limit large-scale deployment. We present a 1550-nm efficient-BB84 system based on the iPOGNAC scheme operating at repetition rates up to 1.5 GHz with an intrinsic QBER of ∼0.4%. The system was validated on both laboratory fiber and a field intermodal link, including a 620 m daylight free-space channel, synchronized using the Qubit4Sync algorithm. The experiment achieved a sustained free-space secure key rate above 1 Mb/s for one hour, representing a new, to our knowledge, performance benchmark for free-space quantum key distribution (QKD). Using improved finite-size bounds, secure rates of 6.5 kb/s at 38.5 dB were demonstrated, highlighting suitability for high-loss scenarios, such as satellite-to-ground links.},
