Quantum key distribution over a metropolitan network using an integrated photonics based prototype
Maria Ana Pereira, Giulio Gualandi, Rebecka Sax +5
An industrial-scale adoption of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) requires the development of practical, stable, resilient and cost-effective hardware that can be manufactured at larg…
Integrated Telecom Wavelength Heralded Single-Photon Source based on GHz gated detectors
Maria Ana Pereira, Mingsong Wu, Arslan Sajid Raja +5
We introduce a simple and flexible concept for a heralded -- spectrally pure -- single photon source. The scheme uses a probabilistic photon pair source pumped with a CW laser, whe…
Enhanced Detection Rate and High Photon-Number Efficiencies with a Scalable Parallel SNSPD
Lorenzo Stasi, Towsif Taher, Giovanni V. Resta +3
Since their inception, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors have been enabling quantum optical applications and the rise of the photonic quantum industry. The evolution…
Practical relativistic bit commitment
Tommaso Lunghi, Jędrzej Kaniewski, Felix Bussieres +4
Bit commitment is a fundamental cryptographic primitive in which Alice wishes to commit a secret bit to Bob. Perfectly secure bit commitment between two mistrustful parties is impo…
Detector imperfections in photon-pair source characterization
P. Sekatski, N. Sangouard, F. Bussieres +3
We analyze how imperfections in single-photon detectors impact the characterization of photon-pair sources. We perform exact calculations to reveal the effects of multi-pair emissi…
