Meanings
nountransmittivity (plural transmittivities)
plural transmittivities
- natural sciencesA measure of transmittance.
Ideally, its secret key rate scales as the square root of the transmittivity of the optical channel, which is superior to QKD schemes based on direct transmission because key rates for the latter scale at best linearly with transmittivity.
