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…

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…
