Theory of quantum frequency conversion and type-II parametric down-conversion in the high-gain regime
Andreas Christ, Benjamin Brecht, Wolfgang Mauerer +1
Frequency conversion (FC) and type-II parametric down-conversion (PDC) processes serve as basic building blocks for the implementation of quantum optical experiments: type-II PDC e…
A proposed testbed for detector tomography
H. B. Coldenstrodt-Ronge, J. S. Lundeen, A. Feito +6
Measurement is the only part of a general quantum system that has yet to be characterized experimentally in a complete manner. Detector tomography provides a procedure for doing ju…
Multi-mode states in decoy-based quantum key distribution protocols
Wolfram Helwig, Wolfgang Mauerer, Christine Silberhorn
Every security analysis of quantum key distribution (QKD) relies on a faithful modeling of the employed quantum states. Many photon sources, like for instance a parametric down con…
How Colors Influence Numbers: Photon Statistics of Parametric Downconversion
Wolfgang Mauerer, Malte Avenhaus, Wolfram Helwig +1
Parametric downconversion (PDC) is a technique of ubiquitous experimental significance in the production of non-classical, photon-number correlated twin beams. Standard theory of P…
Photon Number Statistics of Multimode Parametric Down-Conversion
M. Avenhaus, H. B. Coldenstrodt-Ronge, K. Laiho +3
We experimentally analyze the complete photon number statistics of parametric downconversion and ascertain the influence of multimode effects. Our results clearly reveal a differen…
Recent developments in quantum key distribution: theory and practice
Wolfgang Mauerer, Wolfram Helwig, Christine Silberhorn
Quantum key distribution is among the foremost applications of quantum mechanics, both in terms of fundamental physics and as a technology on the brink of commercial deployment. St…
