CubeSat single-photon detector module for investigating in-orbit laser annealing to heal radiation damage
Nigar Sultana, Joanna Krynski, Jin Gyu Lim +5
Single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs) based on silicon are widely considered for quantum satellite communications but suffer from an increasing dark count rate (DCR) due to d…
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…
Space QUEST mission proposal: Experimentally testing decoherence due to gravity
Siddarth Koduru Joshi, Jacques Pienaar, Timothy C. Ralph +42
Models of quantum systems on curved space-times lack sufficient experimental verification. Some speculative theories suggest that quantum properties, such as entanglement, may exhi…
Laser annealing heals radiation damage in avalanche photodiodes
Jin Gyu Lim, Elena Anisimova, Brendon L. Higgins +3
Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are a practical option for space-based quantum communications requiring single-photon detection. However, radiation damage to APDs significantly increa…
