Influence of laser chirp and interferometer delay and imbalance on the performance of a time-bin BB84 quantum key distribution system
Loïc Millet, Alberto Boaron, Rob Thew +1
We investigate the effect of interferometer delay and imbalance on the performance of a BB84 time-bin quantum key distribution system. We simulate the impact of interference visibi…
Phase-correlation-free quantum key distribution source operating at gigahertz rates
Shashank Kumar, Alessandro Marcomini, Loïc Millet +8
Phase randomization is essential for the security of practical decoy-state quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. Commonly, implementations rely on laser sources which are either…
Analytical Model of Clock Drift in Quantum Key Distribution and a Simple Synchronization Algorithm
Loïc Millet, Boris Korzh, Rob Thew +1
Clock synchronization is critical for maintaining low error rates in quantum key distribution. Here, we describe how a frequency mismatch between the transmitter and receiver clock…
High-speed integrated QKD system
Rebecka Sax, Alberto Boaron, Gianluca Boso +10
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is nowadays a well established method for generating secret keys at a distance in an information-theoretic secure way, as the secrecy of QKD relies o…
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…
Simple 2.5 GHz time-bin quantum key distribution
Alberto Boaron, Boris Korzh, Raphael Houlmann +7
We present a 2.5 GHz quantum key distribution setup with the emphasis on a simple experimental realization. It features a three-state time-bin protocol based on a pulsed diode lase…
Detector-device-independent QKD: security analysis and fast implementation
Alberto Boaron, Boris Korzh, Raphael Houlmann +4
One of the most pressing issues in quantum key distribution (QKD) is the problem of detector side- channel attacks. To overcome this problem, researchers proposed an elegant "time-…
24-Hour Relativistic Bit Commitment
Ephanielle Verbanis, Anthony Martin, Raphaël Houlmann +3
Bit commitment is a fundamental cryptographic primitive in which a party wishes to commit a secret bit to another party. Perfect security between mistrustful parties is unfortunate…
Afterpulsing studies of low noise InGaAs/InP single-photon negative feedback avalanche diodes
Boris Korzh, Tommaso Lunghi, Kateryna Kuzmenko +2
We characterize the temporal evolution of the afterpulse probability in a free-running negative feedback avalanche diode (NFAD) over an extended range, from 300 ns to 1…
