Benchmarking quantum key distribution by mixing single photons and laser light
Yann Portella, Petr Steindl, Juan Rafael Álvarez +8
Quantum key distribution is a key application of quantum mechanics, shaping the future of privacy and secure communications. Many protocols require single photons, often approximat…
Multi-dimensional frequency-bin entanglement-based quantum key distribution network
George Claudiu Crisan, Antoine Henry, Dario Alessandro Fioretto +7
Quantum networks enhance quantum communication schemes and link multiple users over large areas. Harnessing high dimensional quantum states - i.e. qu-d-its - allows for a denser tr…
Monitoring the generation of photonic linear cluster states with partial measurements
Valentin Guichard, Leonid Vidro, Dario A. Fioretto +11
Quantum states of light with many entangled photons are key resources for photonic quantum computing and quantum communication. In this work, we exploit a highly resource-efficient…
Optimizing the quantum interference between single photons and local oscillator with photon correlations
Hubert Lam, Juan R. Álvarez, Petr Steindl +10
The quantum interference between a coherent state and a single photon is an important tool in continuous variable optical quantum technologies to characterize and engineer non-Gaus…
Measurement-induced back-action in a QD-based coherent spin-photon interface
Adrià Medeiros, Manuel Gundín, Dario A. Fioretto +10
Polarization-encoded spin-photon interfaces constitute promising candidates for the development of stationary nodes used as photon receivers, for quantum communication and distribu…
