Towards joint reconstruction of noise and losses in quantum channels
F. Piacentini, A. Avella, P. Traina +7
The calibration of a quantum channel, i.e. the determination of the transmission losses affecting it, is definitely one of the principal objectives in both the quantum communicatio…
Quantum and classical characterization of single/few photon detectors
M. G. Mingolla, F. Piacentini, A. Avella +10
This paper's purpose is to review the results recently obtained in the Quantum Optics labs of the National Institute of Metrological Research (INRIM) in the field of single- and fe…
Self consistent, absolute calibration technique for photon number resolving detectors
A. Avella, G. Brida, I. P. Degiovanni +10
Well characterized photon number resolving detectors are a requirement for many applications ranging from quantum information and quantum metrology to the foundations of quantum me…
Quantum characterization of superconducting photon counters
Giorgio Brida, Luigi Ciavarella, Ivo P. Degiovanni +7
We address the quantum characterization of photon counters based on transition-edge sensors (TESs) and present the first experimental tomography of the positive operator-valued mea…
