Passively stable distribution of polarisation entanglement over 192 km of deployed optical fibre

Sören Wengerowsky, Siddarth Koduru Joshi, Fabian Steinlechner +14

Quantum key distribution (QKD) based on entangled photon pairs holds the potential for repeater-based quantum networks connecting clients over long distance. We demonstrate long-di…

A single-photon detector with high efficiency and sub-10ps time resolution

Iman Esmaeil Zadeh, Johannes W. N. Los, Ronan B. M. Gourgues +4

The observation of fast physical dynamics using optical techniques currently relies on indirect methods, such as pump-probe measurements. One reason for this is the lack of an effi…

Design of broadband high-efficiency superconducting-nanowire single photon detectors

Luca Redaelli, Gabriele Bulgarini, Sergiy Dobrovolskiy +4

In this paper several designs to maximize the absorption efficiency of superconducting-nanowire single-photon detectors are investigated. Using a simple optical cavity consisting o…
