Operation of parallel SNSPDs at high detection rates
Matthieu Perrenoud, Misael Caloz, Emna Amri +4
Recent progress in the development of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPD) has delivered ex-cellent performance, and their increased adoption has had a great im…
Heralded distribution of single-photon path entanglement
Patrik Caspar, Ephanielle Verbanis, Enky Oudot +9
We report the experimental realization of heralded distribution of single-photon path entanglement at telecommunication wavelengths in a repeater-like architecture. The entanglemen…
Direct measurement of the recovery time of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
Claire Autebert, Gaëtan Gras, Emna Amri +4
One of the key properties of single-photon detectors is their recovery time, i.e. the time required for the detector to recover its nominal efficiency. In the case of superconducti…
Intrinsically-limited timing jitter in molybdenum silicide superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
Misael Caloz, Boris Korzh, Edward Ramirez +5
Recent progress in the development of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) has delivered excellent performances, and has had a great impact on a range of resea…
Secure quantum key distribution over 421 km of optical fiber
Alberto Boaron, Gianluca Boso, Davide Rusca +10
We present a quantum key distribution system with a 2.5 GHz repetition rate using a three-state time-bin protocol combined with a one-decoy approach. Taking advantage of supercondu…
