A complete fiber-based polarization encoding quantum key distribution (QKD) system based on the BB84 protocol has been developed at National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST). The system can be operated at a sifted key rate of more than 4 Mbit/s

NIST has developed a high-speed quantum key distribution (QKD) test bed incorporating both free-space and fiber systems. These systems demonstrate a major increase in the attainable rate of QKD systems: over two orders of magnitude faster than other

We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled

The n-qubit concurrence canonical decomposition (CCD) is a generalization of the two-qubit canonical decomposition SU(4)=[SU(2) (x) SU(2)] ? [SU(2) (x) SU(2)], where ? is the commutative group which phases the maximally entangled Bell basis. A prequel

Java

Ronald F. Boisvert, Roldan Pozo
Our goal here is to provide to non-Java programmers some guidance as to whether Java might be appropriate for scientific applications. We will discuss some of Java's features which promote the safety, reliability, and portability, and then briefly address
