We describe a new scheme for performing quantum key distribution. We present two physical implementations for the quantum key distribution system. The first implementation uses a type-II optical-parametric amplifier to generate the optical pulses which contain the key information. The second implementation uses correlated semiconductor emitters to generate the optical pulses.
