Creation and characterization of He-related color centers in diamond
Jacopo Forneris, Andrea Tengattini, Sviatoslav Ditalia Tchernij +11
Diamond is a promising material for the development of emerging applications in quantum optics, quantum information and quantum sensing. The fabrication and characterization of nov…
Backflash light characterization to prevent QKD zero-error hacking
A. Meda, I. P. Degiovanni, A. Tosi +3
Single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are the most commercially diffused solution for single-photon counting in quantum key distribution (QKD) applications. However, the secondary…
Realization of a twin beam source based on four-wave mixing in Cesium
G. Adenier, D. Calonico, S. Micalizio +3
Four-wave mixing (4WM) is a known source of intense non-classical twin beams. It can be generated when an intense laser beam (the pump) and a weak laser beam (the seed) overlap in…
Towards joint reconstruction of noise and losses in quantum channels
F. Piacentini, A. Avella, P. Traina +7
The calibration of a quantum channel, i.e. the determination of the transmission losses affecting it, is definitely one of the principal objectives in both the quantum communicatio…
Experiment Investigating the Connection between Weak Values and Contextuality
F. Piacentini, A. Avella, M. P. Levi +8
Weak value measurements have recently given rise to a large interest for both the possibility of measurement amplification and the chance of further quantum mechanics foundations i…
Absolute calibration of an EMCCD camera by quantum correlation linking photon counting to analog regime
Alessio Avella, Ivano Ruo Berchera, Ivo Pietro Degiovanni +2
We show how the same set-up and procedure, exploiting spatially multi-mode quantum correlations, allows the absolute calibration of a EMCCD camera from the analog regime down to th…
