Non-inertial motion dependent entangled Bell-state

Julius Arthur Bittermann, Matthias Fink, Marcus Huber +1

We show the targeted phase-manipulation of an entangled photonic Bell state via non-inertial motion. To this end, we place a very compact laboratory, consisting of a SPDC source an…

Strategies for achieving high key rates in satellite-based QKD

Sebastian Ecker, Bo Liu, Johannes Handsteiner +6

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a pioneering quantum technology on the brink of widespread deployment. Nevertheless, the distribution of secret keys beyond a few 100 kilometers a…

Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry on a biphoton beat note

Yuanyuan Chen, Matthias Fink, Fabian Steinlechner +2

Hong-Ou-Mandel interference, the fact that identical photons that arrive simultaneously on different input ports of a beam splitter bunch into a common output port, can be used to…

Quantum Communication Uplink to a 3U CubeSat: Feasibility & Design

Sebastian Philipp Neumann, Siddarth Koduru Joshi, Matthias Fink +8

Satellites are the efficient way to achieve global scale quantum communication (Q.Com) because unavoidable losses restrict fiber based Q.Com to a few hundred kilometers. We demonst…

Nanobob: A Cubesat Mission Concept For Quantum Communication Experiments In An Uplink Configuration

Erik Kerstel, Arnaud Gardelein, Mathieu Barthelemy +23

We present a ground-to-space quantum key distribution (QKD) mission concept and the accompanying feasibility study for the development of the low earth orbit CubeSat payload. The q…

Cosmic Bell Test: Measurement Settings from Milky Way Stars

Johannes Handsteiner, Andrew S. Friedman, Dominik Rauch +17

Bell's theorem states that some predictions of quantum mechanics cannot be reproduced by a local-realist theory. That conflict is expressed by Bell's inequality, which is usually d…

Experimental test of photonic entanglement in accelerated reference frames

Matthias Fink, Ana Rodriguez-Aramendia, Johannes Handsteiner +7

The quantization of the electromagnetic field has successfully paved the way for the development of the Standard Model of Particle Physics and has established the basis for quantum…

Twisted photon entanglement through turbulent air across Vienna

Mario Krenn, Johannes Handsteiner, Matthias Fink +2

Photons with a twisted phase front can carry a discrete, in principle unbounded amount of orbital angular momentum (OAM). The large state space allows for complex types of entangle…

Teleportation of entanglement over 143 km

Thomas Herbst, Thomas Scheidl, Matthias Fink +4

As a direct consequence of the no-cloning theorem, the deterministic amplification as in classical communication is impossible for quantum states. This calls for more advanced tech…
