Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to show that external influences like temperature, humidity, sunshine duration and global radiation have effect on the quality of quantum key distribution (QKD). It will be explained how the qubit error rate is correlated to these external influences. The correlations between the different influences will be analyzed using statistical methods, in particular generalized linear models.
