Real-time vacuum-state quantum random number generator on a chip
Guan-Ru Qiao, Bing Bai, Zi-Xuan Weng +6
Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) produce true random numbers, which are guaranteed by the fundamental principles of quantum physics. Miniaturization of QRNGs is crucial for…
Silicon single-photon detector achieving over 84% photon detection efficiency with flexible operation modes
Dong An, Chao Yu, Ming-Yang Zheng +9
Silicon single-photon detectors (Si SPDs) play a crucial role in detecting single photons in the visible spectrum. For various applications, photon detection efficiency (PDE) is th…
Measurement-device-independent quantum random number generation over 23 Mbps with imperfect single-photon sources
You-Qi Nie, Hongyi Zhou, Bing Bai +4
Quantum randomness relies heavily on the accurate characterization of the generator implementation, where the device imperfection or inaccurate characterization can lead to incorre…
Field test of mode-pairing quantum key distribution
Hao-Tao Zhu, Yizhi Huang, Wen-Xin Pan +10
Quantum key distribution is a cornerstone of quantum technology, offering information-theoretical secure keys for remote parties. With many quantum communication networks establish…
Compact free-running InGaAs/InP single-photon detector with 40% detection efficiency and 2.3 kcps dark count rate
Qi Xu, Chao Yu, Wei Chen +4
Free-running InGaAs/InP single-photon detectors (SPDs) based on negative-feedback avalanche diodes (NFADs) are the key components for applications requiring asynchronous single-pho…
