Single photon source characterization with a superconducting single photon detector
Robert H. Hadfield, Martin J. Stevens, Steven S. Gruber +4
Superconducting single photon detectors (SSPD) based on nanopatterned niobium nitride wires offer single photon counting at fast rates, low jitter, and low dark counts, from visibl…

Quantum key distribution at telecom wavelengths with noise-free detectors
Danna Rosenberg, Sae Woo Nam, Philip A. Hiskett +5
The length of a secure link over which a quantum key can be distributed depends on the efficiency and dark-count rate of the detectors used at the receiver. We report on the first…

Noise-free high-efficiency photon-number-resolving detectors
Danna Rosenberg, Adriana E. Lita, Aaron J. Miller +1
High-efficiency optical detectors that can determine the number of photons in a pulse of monochromatic light have applications in a variety of physics studies, including post-selec…
