Advantages of gated silicon single photon detectors
T. Lunghi, E. Pomarico, C. Barreiro +3
We present a gated silicon single photon detector based on a commercially available avalanche photodiode. Our detector achieves a photon detection efficiency of 45\pm5% at 808 nm w…
Long term performance of the SwissQuantum quantum key distribution network in a field environment
D. Stucki, M. Legre, F. Buntschu +20
In this paper, we report on the performance of the SwissQuantum quantum key distribution (QKD) network. The network was installed in the Geneva metropolitan area and run for more t…
High rate, long-distance quantum key distribution over 250km of ultra low loss fibres
D. Stucki, N. Walenta, F. Vannel +6
We present a fully automated quantum key distribution prototype running at 625 MHz clock rate. Taking advantage of ultra low loss fibres and low-noise superconducting detectors, we…
High speed coherent one-way quantum key distribution prototype
Damien Stucki, Claudio Barreiro, Sylvain Fasel +8
We report the first real world implementation of a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system over a 43dB-loss transmission line in the Swisscom fibre optic network. The QKD system is c…
Free-running InGaAs/InP Avalanche Photodiode with Active Quenching for Single Photon Counting at Telecom Wavelengths
R. T. Thew, D. Stucki, J-D. Gautier +2
We present an InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiode with an active quenching circuit on an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) that is capable of operating in both gated and f…
Fast and simple one-way Quantum Key Distribution
Damien Stucki, Nicolas Brunner, Nicolas Gisin +2
We present and demonstrate a new protocol for practical quantum cryptography, tailored for an implementation with weak coherent pulses to obtain a high key generation rate. The key…
