Towards a Digital Twin for the Ground to QEYSSat Quantum Link
Henri P. N. Morin, Alex Maierean, Brendon L. Higgins +3
Simulations of physical systems require high-fidelity models to accurately represent reality. Simple models may be analytically tractable, but may not be sufficiently representativ…
Finite resource performance of small satellite-based quantum key distribution missions
Tanvirul Islam, Jasminder S. Sidhu, Brendon L. Higgins +5
In satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD), the number of secret bits that can be generated in a single satellite pass over the ground station is severely restricted by the…
Robotized polarization characterization platform for free-space quantum communication optics
Youn Seok Lee, Kimia Mohammadi, Lindsay Babcock +3
We develop a polarization characterization platform for optical devices in free-space quantum communications. We demonstrate an imaging polarimeter, which analyzes both incident po…
Enhancing secure key rates of satellite QKD using a quantum dot single-photon source
Poompong Chaiwongkhot, Sara Hosseini, Arash Ahmadi +6
Global quantum secure communication can be achieved using quantum key distribution (QKD) with orbiting satellites. Established techniques use attenuated lasers as weak coherent pul…
Repeated radiation damage and thermal annealing of avalanche photodiodes
Ian DSouza, Jean-Philippe Bourgoin, Brendon L. Higgins +6
Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are well-suited for single-photon detection on quantum communication satellites as they are a mature technology with high detection efficiency without…
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…
