Microscopy with heralded Fock states

Maria Gieysztor, Joshua Nepinak, Christopher J. Pugh +1

We consider a microscopy setting where quantum light is used for illumination. Spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) is used as a source of a heralded single photon, which…

Adaptive optics benefit for quantum key distribution uplink from ground to a satellite

Christopher J. Pugh, Jean-Francois Lavigne, Jean-Philippe Bourgoin +2

For quantum communications, the use of Earth-orbiting satellites to extend distances has gained significant attention in recent years, exemplified in particular by the launch of th…

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…

Airborne demonstration of a quantum key distribution receiver payload

Christopher J. Pugh, Sarah Kaiser, Jean-Philippe Bourgoin +8

Satellite-based quantum terminals are a feasible way to extend the reach of quantum communication protocols such as quantum key distribution (QKD) to the global scale. To that end,…

Towards correcting atmospheric beam wander via pump beam control in a down conversion process

Christopher J. Pugh, Piotr Kolenderski, Carmelo Scarcella +2

Correlated photon pairs produced by a spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) process can be used for secure quantum communication over long distances including free space tr…

Free-space quantum key distribution to a moving receiver

Jean-Philippe Bourgoin, Brendon L. Higgins, Nick Gigov +5

Technological realities limit terrestrial quantum key distribution (QKD) to single-link distances of a few hundred kilometers. One promising avenue for global-scale quantum communi…

Experimental Three-Particle Quantum Nonlocality under Strict Locality Conditions

C. Erven, E. Meyer-Scott, K. Fisher +13

Quantum correlations are critical to our understanding of nature, with far-reaching technological and fundamental impact. These often manifest as violations of Bell's inequalities,…

Geometrical entanglement of highly symmetric multipartite states and the Schmidt decomposition

D. Buhr, M. E. Carrington, T. Fugleberg +5

In a previous paper we examined a geometric measure of entanglement based on the minimum distance between the entangled target state of interest and the space of unnormalized produ…
