contents In this paper, we present a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol that accounts for fundamental practical challenges, including chromatic dispersion, time measurement uncertainty, and dark counts. Our analysis provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the impact of these physical phenomena on QKD efficiency, offering practical strategies for enhancing the robustness and security of quantum communication systems in real-world applications. In particular, by manipulating the chirp parameter of single-photon wave packets, we demonstrate significant improvements in key generation rates and an extended range of secure communication.
