Controlling passively-quenched single photon detectors by bright light
Vadim Makarov
Single photon detectors based on passively-quenched avalanche photodiodes can be temporarily blinded by relatively bright light, of intensity less than a nanowatt. I describe a bri…

Faked states attack using detector efficiency mismatch on SARG04, phase-time, DPSK, and Ekert protocols
Vadim Makarov, Johannes Skaar
In quantum cryptosystems, variations in detector efficiency can be exploited to stage a successful attack. This happens when the efficiencies of Bob's two detectors are different f…
