contents We present time- and frequency-resolved simulations of quantum key distribution~(QKD) systems employing highly entangled biphoton quantum states. Our simulations are based on expansions of the covariance matrix and photon detection probabilities of biphoton states in terms of increasing orders of the joint spectral amplitude that were introduced in the first part of this series. Employing these expansions allows us to efficiently evaluate the impact of multi-pair events on the performance of the QKD systems while systematically taking into account effects from the photon spectra and many relevant imperfections of the setup. The results are shown to be in agreement with corresponding measurements of the key rates and quantum bit error rates.
