A Differential Phase Shift Scheme for Quantum Key Distribution in Passive Optical Networks
Michael Hentschel, Andreas Poppe, Bernhard Schrenk +3
We propose a scheme for quantum key distribution (QKD) in a passive optical network (PON) based on differential phase shift (DPS) coding. A centralized station including all expens…
A simple and robust method for characterization of afterpulsing in single photon detectors
Gerhard Humer, Momtchil Peev, Christoph Schaeff +3
Single photon detectors are important for a wide range of applications each with their own specific requirements, which makes necessary the precise characterization of detectors. H…
Entanglement Distribution in Optical Networks
Alex Ciurana, Vicente Martin, Jesus Martinez-Mateo +3
The ability to generate entangled photon-pairs over a broad wavelength range opens the door to the simultaneous distribution of entanglement to multiple users in a network by using…
Demystifying the Information Reconciliation Protocol Cascade
Jesus Martinez-Mateo, Christoph Pacher, Momtchil Peev +2
Cascade is an information reconciliation protocol proposed in the context of secret key agreement in quantum cryptography. This protocol allows removing discrepancies in two partia…
