Entanglement-Enhanced Quantum Nano-Vibrometry

Colin P. Lualdi, Joshua Rapp, Spencer J. Johnson +2

The study of dynamic systems at the nanometer scale can benefit from the loss and background resilience offered by quantum two-photon interference. However, fast measurements with…

Drone- and Vehicle-Based Quantum Key Distribution

Andrew Conrad, Roderick Cochran, Daniel Sanchez-Rosales +18

Quantum key distribution is a point-to-point communication protocol that leverages quantum mechanics to enable secure information exchange. Commonly, the transmitter and receiver s…

Fast quantum interferometry at the nanometer and attosecond scales with energy-entangled photons

Colin P. Lualdi, Spencer J. Johnson, Michael Vayninger +4

In classical optical interferometry, loss and background complicate achieving fast nanometer-resolution measurements with illumination at low light levels. Conversely, quantum two-…

A Quantum Key Distribution System for Mobile Platforms with Highly Indistinguishable States

Daniel Sanchez Rosales, Roderick D. Cochran, Samantha D. Isaac +2

Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows two users to exchange a provably secure key for cryptographic applications. In prepare-and-measure QKD protocols, the states must be indisting…

Public Quantum Network: The First Node

K. Kapoor, S. Hoseini, J. Choi +13

We present a quantum network that distributes entangled photons between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a public library in Urbana. The network allows members of th…
