Telecom-band Michelson-type two-photon interferometer with photon-number-resolving single-photon detection

Akio Yoshizawa, Daiji Fukuda, Hidemi Tsuchida

Experimental evaluation of a fiber-optic Michelson-type two-photon interferometer operating at 1550 nm was presented using a superconducting transition edge sensor as a photon-number-resolving single-photon detector. We monitored two-photon detection events to observe photon bunching.

2 GHz clock quantum key distribution over 260 km of standard telecom fiber

Shuang Wang, Wei Chen, Jun-Fu Guo +5 more

We report a demonstration of quantum key distribution (QKD) over a standard telecom fiber exceeding 50 dB in loss and 250 km in length. The differential phase shift QKD protocol was chosen and implemented with a 2 GHz system clock rate. By careful optimization of the 1 bit delayed Faraday-Michelson interferometer and the use of the superconducting single photon detector (SSPD), we achieved a quantum bit error rate below 2% when the fiber length was no more than 205 km, and of 3.45% for a 260 km fiber with 52.9 dB loss. We also improved the quantum efficiency of SSPD to obtain a high key rate for 50 km length.

Ultra stable all-fiber telecom-band entangled photon-pair source for turnkey quantum communication applications

Chuang Liang, Kim Fook Lee, Todd Levin +2 more

We demonstrate a novel alignment-free all-fiber source for generating telecom-band polarization-entangled photon pairs. Polarization entanglement is created by injecting two relatively delayed, orthogonally polarized pump pulses into a piece of dispersion-shifted fiber, where each one independently engages in four-photon scattering, and then removing any distinguishability between the correlated photon-pairs produced by each pulse at the fiber output. Our scheme uses a Michelson-interferometer configuration with Faraday mirrors to achieve practically desirable features such as ultra-stable performance and turnkey operation. Up to 91.7% two-photon-interference visibility is observed without subtracting the accidental coincidences that arise from background photons while operating the source at room temperature.
