Entanglement distribution and quantum storage of more than 8000 modes over a metropolitan network
Angelo Gelmini Rodriguez, Louis Nicolas, Théo Sanchez Mejia +6
Entanglement generation between telecommunication photons and matter is central to fibre-based quantum repeaters. Achieving practical communication rates requires multiplexing, whi…
Certification of the genuine resolution of photon number resolving detectors
Jef Pauwels, Towsif Taher, Roope Uola +3
Photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors are essential components of photonic quantum technologies, yet thus far, no practical metric exists to certify how many photons they can gen…
Phase-correlation-free quantum key distribution source operating at gigahertz rates
Shashank Kumar, Alessandro Marcomini, Loïc Millet +8
Phase randomization is essential for the security of practical decoy-state quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. Commonly, implementations rely on laser sources which are either…
Electrical thermography via centimetre-scale fiber-based distributed temperature sensing
Victor Cochet, Axel Faccio, Georgios Stoikos +4
We present a Raman-based Distributed Temperature Sensor (RDTS) with centimetre-scale resolution for thermographic analysis of electronic circuits. Temperature is measured along a s…
Towards High-Efficiency Particle Detection Using Superconducting Microwire Arrays
Christina Wang, Cristián Peña, Adolf Bornheim +17
We present a detailed study of an 8-channel mm WSi superconducting microwire single photon detector (SMSPD) array exposed to 120 GeV hadron beam and 120 GeV muon b…
