    Abstract: In some example embodiments, there is provided an apparatus. The apparatus may include a frequency shifter configured to shift a reference signal to a portion of an optical spectrum separate from another portion of the optical spectrum being used by a signal of interest; and a polarization rotator configured to provide the reference signal shifted and rotated by the polarization rotator. The apparatus may also include a modulator configured to modulate the signal of interest with coherent state information from which quantum key information is derivable. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
