Abstract
We propose a hybrid protocol for sending-or-not-sending (SNS) twin-field quantum key distribution: replacing the signal source by heralded single-photon source (HSPS) in the original SNS protocol, while decoy sources are still unchanged. Numerical simulation shows that after adopting this HSPS, the performance in key rate and secure distance is much improved.
