Photon bunching in parametric down-conversion with continuous wave excitation

Bibiane Blauensteiner, Isabelle Herbauts, Stefano Bettelli +2

The first direct measurement of photon bunching (g2 correlation function) in one output arm of a spontaneous-parametric-down-conversion source operated with a continuous pump laser…

The Security of Practical Quantum Key Distribution

Valerio Scarani, Helle Bechmann-Pasquinucci, Nicolas J. Cerf +3

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the first quantum information task to reach the level of mature technology, already fit for commercialization. It aims at the creation of a secret…

High-fidelity transmission of polarization encoded qubits from an entangled source over 100 km of fiber

Hannes Hübel, Michael R. Vanner, Thomas Lederer +4

We demonstrate non-degenerate down-conversion at 810 and 1550 nm for long-distance fiber based quantum communication using polarization entangled photon pairs. Measurements of the…
