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…
Deploying quantum light sources on nanosatellites II: lessons and perspectives on CubeSat spacecraft
Robert Bedington, Edward Truong-Cao, Tan Yue Chuan +6
To enable space-based quantum key distribution proposals the Centre for Quantum Technologies is developing a source of entangled photons ruggedized to survive deployment in space a…
Space qualified nanosatellite electronics platform for photon pair experiments
Cliff Cheng, Rakhitha Chandrasekara, Yue Chuan Tan +1
We report the design and implementation of a complete electronics platform for conducting a quantum optics experiment that will be operated on board a 1U CubeSat (a 10 x 10 x 10 cm…
Radiation tolerance of opto-electronic components proposed for space-based quantum key distribution
Tan Yue Chuan, Rakhitha Chandrasekara, Cliff Cheng +1
Plasma in low earth orbit can damage electronic components and potentially jeopardise the scientific missions in space. Predicting the accumulated damage and understanding the comp…
