This study provides critical experimental validation of crosstalk in commercial MEMS optical switches, directly addressing hardware limitations for scalable multi-user quantum communication networks. By correlating measured data with theoretical impacts on the decoy-state BB84 protocol, it offers essential insights into maintaining signal integrity and security in dynamic QKD systems. The findings are pivotal for engineers designing next-generation quantum repeaters and switch fabrics that must operate under realistic noise conditions.
