This thesis addresses the critical issue of clock synchronization in quantum communication systems. While quantum communication offers unmatched security, it demands precise timing, often achieved through resource-intensive methods. This study introduces a postprocessing protocol that eliminates the need for additional synchronization mechanisms in the sender, seamlessly integrating with existing quantum communication setups. The protocol exhibits exceptional performance, achieving timing stability down to 3 ps with simple crystal oscillators. Its robustness is demonstrated in real-world scenarios, including turbulent free-space and intercity links, where femtosecond-level stability is achieved. This versatile approach supports various single-photon sources, advancing quantum communication and secure time transfer technologies.
