Directional THz generation in hot Rb vapor excited to a Rydberg state

Mark Lam, Sambit B. Pal, Thibault Vogt +2

We optically excite Rb atoms in a heated vapor cell to a low-lying Rydberg state 10D and observe directional terahertz (THz) beams at 3.3 THz and 7.8 THz. These THz…

Temperature insensitive type II quasi-phasematched spontaneous parametric downconversion

Xin-Yi Pan, Christian Kurtsiefer, Alexander Ling +1

The temperature dependence of the refractive indices of potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) are shown to enable quasi-phasematched type II spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC…

Improved DIQKD protocols with finite-size analysis

Ernest Y. -Z. Tan, Pavel Sekatski, Jean-Daniel Bancal +4

The security of finite-length keys is essential for the implementation of device-independent quantum key distribution (DIQKD). Presently, there are several finite-size DIQKD securi…
