TestWhat it doesResult
test_click_linearpairing_click is linear in the single-arm transmittance, hence in the square root of the end-to-end one.✅ pass
test_error_dark_onlypairing_sift gives a Z-basis error of exactly zero without dark counts, at every intensity and transmittance.✅ pass
test_error_growsWith dark counts the Z-basis error rate rises with distance, under 1e-4 at 200 km and past a percent by 600 km.✅ pass
test_sift_eighthpairing_sift returns 0.125 to 5e-4 at 300, 400 and 500 km.✅ pass
test_sift_from_basespairing_bases gives each party a Z share of 0.5, half of whose square is the 0.125 sifting rate.✅ pass
test_single_fractionpairing_single tends to exp(-2*mu) as the arm weakens, and is a fraction of sifted Z-pairs rather than a gain: a further Poisson prefactor charges the source twice.✅ pass
