A four-state quantum communication protocol with mesoscopic twin beams
Stefano Carsi
Twin-beam (TWB) states generated by parametric down-conversion exhibit strong photon-number correlations that can be exploited for quantum communication. In the mesoscopic regime,…
TD-Link: A Daisy-Chain Optical Architecture for Integrated Data Readout and Deterministic Timing Distribution in Large-Scale Detector Systems
Andrea Abba, Gianluca Becuzzi, Matteo Bianchini +8
TD-Link is an optical communication architecture that combines high-throughput data readout and sub-nanosecond timing synchronization over a single fiber for large-scale detector s…
Real-Time FPGA-Based SiPM Detector Emulation Using a Temporally Quantized Model
Stefano Carsi, Edoardo Proserpio, Andrea Abba +2
We present a real-time hardware implementation of a versatile detector emulator capable of reproducing realistic silicon photomultiplier signals. Our approach builds upon the open-…
Developing a photon-number-resolving detection chain for quantum communication protocols involving mesoscopic states of light
Alex Pozzoli, Stefano Carsi, Andrea Abba +1
We present the characterization of a photon-number-resolving detection chain based on Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) coupled to a 14 bit, 1 Gs\s digital acquisition system embeddi…
