Abstract
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) is compatible with telecommunication infrastructure, but implementing composable security with experimentally practical resources has remained challenging, particularly for discrete-modulated (DM) protocols. We report the first experimental demonstration of a DM CVQKD system that generates composable secret keys against general attacks with finite-size block lengths on the order of 106 rounds via a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) system. Our implementation follows a variable-length, general security framework enabled by modern entropy accumulation techniques and conic optimization, whose experimental pipeline allows real-time operation on near-commercial hardware.
