Decoy-state quantum key distribution over 227 km with a frequency-converted telecom single-photon source

Frederik Brooke Barnes, Roberto G. Pousa, Christopher L. Morrison +7

We implement a decoy-state quantum key distribution scheme using a telecom C-band single-emitter source. The decoy states are created by varying the optical excitation of the quant…

A photon-interfaced ten qubit quantum network node

M. Canteri, Z. X. Koong, J. Bate +3

We entangle each individual matter-qubit in a register of ten to a separate travelling photon. The qubits are encoded in a string of cotrapped atomic ions. By switching the trap co…
