A low-noise single-photon detector for long-distance free-space quantum communication
Elena Anisimova, Dmitri Nikulov, Simeng Simone Hu +5
We build and test a single-photon detector based on a Si avalanche photodiode Excelitas 30902SH thermoelectrically cooled to -100 deg. C. Our detector has dark count rate below 1 H…
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…
Independent quality assessment of a commercial quantum random number generator
Mikhail Petrov, Igor Radchenko, Damian Steiger +3
We reverse-engineer, test and analyse hardware and firmware of the commercial quantum-optical random number generator Quantis from ID Quantique. We show that > 99% of its output da…
