Quantum-Level Crosstalk Characterization of a 16x16 MEMS Optical Switch for Dynamic Quantum Communications

We present an all-to-all quantum-level crosstalk characterization of a commercial 16x16 MEMS optical switch for multi-user quantum communications using SNSPDs, correlating experimental data with a theoretical impact analysis on the decoy-state BB84 QKD protocol.
