Universal Model for the Turn-on Dynamics of Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors
Kathryn L. Nicolich, Clinton Cahall, Nurul T. Islam +4
We describe an electrothermal model for the turn-on dynamics of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). By extracting a scaling law from a well-known electrother…
Bounding the outcome of a two-photon interference measurement using weak coherent states
Andres Aragoneses, Nurul T. Islam, Michael Eggleston +3
Interference of two photons at a beamsplitter is at the core of many quantum photonic technologies, such as quantum key distribution or linear-optics quantum computing. Observing h…
Reconfigurable generation and measurement of mutually unbiased bases for time-bin qudits
Joseph M. Lukens, Nurul T. Islam, Charles Ci Wen Lim +1
We propose a new method for implementing mutually unbiased generation and measurement of time-bin qudits using a cascade of electro-optic phase modulator -- coded fiber Bragg grati…
Securing quantum key distribution systems using fewer states
Nurul T. Islam, Charles Ci Wen Lim, Clinton Cahall +2
Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows two remote users to establish a secret key in the presence of an eavesdropper. The users share quantum states prepared in two mutually-unbiase…
