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…
Quantum superposition and entanglement of mesoscopic plasmons
Sylvain Fasel, Matthaeus Halder, Nicolas Gisin +1
Quantum superpositions and entanglement are at the heart of the quantum information science. There have been only a few investigations of these phenomena at the mesoscopic level, d…
Trojan Horse attacks on Quantum Key Distribution systems
N. Gisin, S. Fasel, B. Kraus +2
General Trojan horse attacks on quantum key distribution systems are analyzed. We illustrate the power of such attacks with today's technology and conclude that all system must imp…
Energy-time entanglement preservation in plasmon-assisted light transmission
Sylvain Fasel, Nicolas Gisin, Hugo Zbinden +3
We report on experimental evidences of the preservation of energy-time entanglement for extraordinary plasmonic light transmission through sub-wavelength metallic hole arrays, and…
High quality asynchronous heralded single photon source at telecom wavelength
Sylvain Fasel, Olivier Alibart, Alexios Beveratos +4
We report on the experimental realization and characterization of an asynchronous heralded single photon source based on spontaneous parametric down conversion. Photons at 1550nm a…
Quantum key distribution over 30km of standard fiber using energy-time entangled photon pairs: a comparison of two chromatic dispersion reduction methods
Sylvain Fasel, Nicolas Gisin, Grégoire Ribordy +1
We present a full implementation of a quantum key distribution system using energy-time entangled photon pairs and functioning with a 30km standard telecom fiber quantum channel. T…
