(Color online) Comparisons of the two-single-photon-pulse contributions between Xu et al.’s work and ours. (a) and (c) correspond to the results of using WCS, while (b) and (d) denote using HSPS. W1 (H1) refers to implementing Xu et al.’s three-intensity decoy-state method, and W2 (H2) represents applying our method. Here we reasonably set the number of pulses as N = 10¹¹.
