Practical fast gate rate InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche photodiodes (2009)
Zhang, Jun, Thew, Rob, Barreiro, Claudio, Zbinden, Hugo
We present a practical and easy-to-implement method for high-speed near infrared single-photon detection based on InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs), combining aspects of both...
High speed coherent one-way quantum key distribution prototype (2008)
Stucki, Damien, Barreiro, Claudio, Fasel, Sylvain, Gautier, Jean-Daniel, Gay, Olivier, Gisin, Nicolas, ...
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 capable of...
