Field-Widened Multimode Interferometer with Long Time-Bin Delay Using a Multi-Pass Herriott Cell

Ramy Tannous, Stéphane Vinet, Kaylee Sherk +2

Interference of optical signals in free-space channels requires optical receivers to support many spatial modes due to atmospheric turbulence, typically necessitating adaptive opti…

All Reflective Field-widened Unbalanced Interferometer for Quantum Sensing and Communication Applications

Ramy Tannous, Dogan Sinar, Tabitha D. Arulpragasam +1

Interference of time-bin encoded signals over free-space optical channels typically requires stringent mode filtering on receivers due to wavefront distortions from atmospheric tur…

A reconfigurable entanglement distribution network suitable for connecting multiple ground nodes with a satellite

Stéphane Vinet, Ramy Tannous, Thomas Jennewein

Satellite-based quantum communication channels are important for ultra-long distances. Given the short duration of a satellite pass, it can be challenging to efficiently connect mu…

Storage of telecom wavelength heralded single photons in a fiber cavity quantum memory

K. A. G. Bonsma-Fisher, R. Tannous, D. Poitras +5

We demonstrate the storage and retrieval of heralded single photons in a fiber-based cavity quantum memory. The photons are stored, and retrieved, from the memory using quantum fre…

Toward deterministic sources: Photon generation in a fiber-cavity quantum memory

Philip J. Bustard, Ramy Tannous, Kent Bonsma-Fisher +5

We demonstrate the generation of photons within a fiber-cavity quantum memory, followed by later on-demand readout. Signal photons are generated by spontaneous four-wave mixing in…

Towards Fully Passive Time-Bin Quantum Key Distribution over Moving Free-Space Channels

Ramy Tannous, Wilson Wu, Stéphane Vinet +4

Encoding quantum information in photonic time-bin states is typically considered impractical for moving free-space quantum communication due to the difficulties with phase stabiliz…

Sagnac-type entangled photon source using only conventional polarization optics

Youn Seok Lee, Mengyu Xie, Ramy Tannous +1

We designed and implemented a novel combination of a Sagnac-interferometer with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer for a source of polarization-entangled photons. The new versatile conf…

Repeated radiation damage and thermal annealing of avalanche photodiodes

Ian DSouza, Jean-Philippe Bourgoin, Brendon L. Higgins +6

Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are well-suited for single-photon detection on quantum communication satellites as they are a mature technology with high detection efficiency without…

Demonstration of a 6 State-4 State Reference Frame Independent channel for Quantum Key Distribution

Ramy Tannous, Zhangdong Ye, Jeongwan Jin +3

We study a novel protocol for reference frame independent (RFI) quantum key distribution (QKD) using six states for Alice and four states for Bob, while previous RFI protocols requ…

Genuine time-bin-encoded quantum key distribution over a turbulent depolarizing free-space channel

Jeongwan Jin, Jean-Philippe Bourgoin, Ramy Tannous +5

Despite its widespread use in fiber optics, encoding quantum information in photonic time-bin states is usually considered impractical for free-space quantum communication as turbu…
