Best-practice criteria for practical security of self-differencing avalanche photodiode detectors in quantum key distribution
A. Koehler-Sidki, J. F. Dynes, M. Lucamarini +4
Fast gated avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are the most commonly used single photon detectors for high bit rate quantum key distribution (QKD). Their robustness against external attac…
Testing the photon-number statistics of a quantum key distribution light source
J. F. Dynes, M. Lucamarini, K. A. Patel +3
A commonly held tenet is that lasers well above threshold emit photons in a coherent state, which follow a Poissonian statistics when measured in photon number. This feature is oft…
Manipulating photon coherence to enhance the security of practical quantum key distribution
George L. Roberts, Marco Lucamarini, James F. Dynes +3
Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows two users to communicate with theoretically provable secrecy by encoding information on photonic qubits. Current encoders are complex, however…
Modulator-free coherent-one-way quantum key distribution
George L. Roberts, Marco Lucamarini, James F. Dynes +3
Time-bin encoding is an attractive method for transmitting photonic qubits over long distances with minimal decoherence. It allows a simple receiver for quantum key distribution (Q…
Surface Acoustic wave modulation of a coherently driven quantum dot in a pillar microcavity
B. Villa, A. J. Bennett, D. J. P. Ellis +8
We report the efficient coherent photon scattering from a semiconductor quantum dot embedded in a pillar microcavity. We show that a surface acoustic wave can periodically modulate…
Quantum-dot based telecom-wavelength quantum relay
J. Huwer, M. Felle, R. M. Stevenson +6
The development of quantum relays for long haul and attack-proof quantum communication networks operating with weak coherent laser pulses requires entangled photon sources at telec…
