Efficient integrated quantum memory for light

Ruo-Ran Meng, Pei-Xi Liu, Xiao Liu +10

Scalable implementation of quantum networks and photonic processors require integrated photonic memories with high efficiency, yet current integrated systems have been limited to s…

Entanglement demonstration on board a nano-satellite

Aitor Villar, Alexander Lohrmann, Xueliang Bai +14

Global quantum networks for secure communication can be realised using large fleets of satellites distributing entangled photon-pairs between ground-based nodes. Because the cost o…

The photon pair source that survived a rocket explosion

Zhongkan Tang, Rakhitha Chandrasekara, Yue Chuan Tan +3

We report on the performance of a compact photon pair source that was recovered intact from a failed space launch. The source had been embedded in a nanosatellite and was designed…

Correcting for accidental correlations in saturated avalanche photodiodes

James A. Grieve, Rakhitha Chandrasekara, Zhongkan Tang +2

In this paper we present a general method for estimating rates of accidental coincidence between a pair of single photon detectors operated within their saturation regimes. By fold…

Near-space flight of a correlated photon system

Tang Zhongkan, Rakhitha Chandrasekara, Yau Yong Sean +3

We report the successful test flight of a device for generating and monitoring correlated photon pairs under near-space conditions up to 35.5km altitude. Data from ground based qua…
