cryptography protocols robust against photon number
Fasel, Sylvain, Gisin, Nicolas, Ribordy, Grégoire, Zbinden, Hugo
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. Two bases of two...

Quantum cryptography could well be the first application of quantum mechanics at the individual quanta level. The very fast progress in both theory and experiments over the recent years are reviewed,...
Photon counting for quantum key distribution with Peltier cooled InGaAs/InP APD's (2001)
Stucki, Damien, Ribordy, Grégoire, Stefanov, André, Zbinden, Hugo, Rarity, John G., Wall, Tom
The performance of three types of InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes is investigated for photon counting at 1550 nm in the temperature range of thermoelectric cooling. The best one yields a dark count...

This paper will show that in compensation for this "quantum noise," quantum mechanics allows us novel forms of coding without analogue in communication channels adequately described by...
Automated plug and play quantum key distribution, Electron (1998)
Grégoire Ribordy, Jean-daniel Gautier, Nicolas Gisin, Olivier Guinnard, Hugo Zbinden
An improved « plug & play » interferometric system for quantum key distribution is presented. Self-alignment and compensation of birefringence remain, while limitations due to reflections are...
