Efficient random number generation techniques for CMOS SPAD array based devices
Andrea Stanco, Davide G. Marangon, Giuseppe Vallone +3
This work presents new techniques to produce true random bits by exploiting single photon time of arrival. Two FPGA-based QRNG devices are presented: Randy which uses one discrete…
Fast and simple qubit-based synchronization for quantum key distribution
Luca Calderaro, Andrea Stanco, Costantino Agnesi +4
We propose Qubit4Sync, a synchronization method for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) setups, based on the same qubits exchanged during the protocol and without requiring additional h…
Simple Quantum Key Distribution with qubit-based synchronization and a self-compensating polarization encoder
Costantino Agnesi, Marco Avesani, Luca Calderaro +7
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) relies on quantum communication to allow distant parties to share a secure cryptographic key. Widespread adoption of QKD in current telecommunication…
Full daylight quantum-key-distribution at 1550 nm enabled by integrated silicon photonics
M. Avesani, L. Calderaro, M. Schiavon +16
The future envisaged global-scale quantum communication network will comprise various nodes interconnected via optical fibers or free-space channels, depending on the link distance…
All-fiber self-compensating polarization encoder for Quantum Key Distribution
Costantino Agnesi, Marco Avesani, Andrea Stanco +2
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) allows distant parties to exchange cryptographic keys with unconditional security by encoding information on the degrees of freedom of photons. Polar…
