Demonstration of active routing of entanglement in a multi-user network

I. Herbauts, B. Blauensteiner, A. Poppe +2

We implement an entanglement distribution network based on wavelength-multiplexing and optical switching for quantum communication applications. Using a high-brightness source base…

Photon bunching in parametric down-conversion with continuous wave excitation

Bibiane Blauensteiner, Isabelle Herbauts, Stefano Bettelli +2

The first direct measurement of photon bunching (g2 correlation function) in one output arm of a spontaneous-parametric-down-conversion source operated with a continuous pump laser…

High-fidelity transmission of polarization encoded qubits from an entangled source over 100 km of fiber

Hannes Hübel, Michael R. Vanner, Thomas Lederer +4

We demonstrate non-degenerate down-conversion at 810 and 1550 nm for long-distance fiber based quantum communication using polarization entangled photon pairs. Measurements of the…

Free-Space distribution of entanglement and single photons over 144 km

R. Ursin, F. Tiefenbacher, T. Schmitt-Manderbach +15

Quantum Entanglement is the essence of quantum physics and inspires fundamental questions about the principles of nature. Moreover it is also the basis for emerging technologies of…

Experimental interference of independent photons

Rainer Kaltenbaek, Bibiane Blauensteiner, Marek Zukowski +2

Interference of photons emerging from independent sources is essential for modern quantum information processing schemes, above all quantum repeaters and linear-optics quantum comp…

Distributing entanglement and single photons through an intra-city, free-space quantum channel

K. J. Resch, M. Lindenthal, B. Blauensteiner +11

We have distributed entangled photons directly through the atmosphere to a receiver station 7.8 km away over the city of Vienna, Austria at night. Detection of one photon from our…
