True random numbers from amplified quantum vacuum
M. Jofre, M. Curty, F. Steinlechner +4
Random numbers are essential for applications ranging from secure communications to numerical simulation and quantitative finance. Algorithms can rapidly produce pseudo-random outc…
Twisting of light around rotating black holes
Fabrizio Tamburini, Bo Thidé, Gabriel Molina-Terriza +1
Kerr black holes are among the most intriguing predictions of Einstein's general relativity theory. These rotating massive astrophysical objects drag and intermix their surrounding…
Fast optical source for quantum key distribution based on semiconductor optical amplifiers
M. Jofre, A. Gardelein, G. Anzolin +16
A novel integrated optical source capable of emitting faint pulses with different polarization states and with different intensity levels at 100 MHz has been developed. The source…
