Xiao Tang, Lijun Ma, Sae Woo Nam, Burm Baek, Oliver T. Slattery, Alan Mink, Hai Xu, Tiejun Chang
We have implemented a differential-phase-shift (DPS) quantum key distribution (QKD) system at 1310 nm with superconducting single photon detectors (SSPD). The timing jitter of the SSPDs is small and its dark counts are very low. 1310 nm is an ideal quantum

Optimization of photon pair generation in dual-element PPKTP waveguide1

Xiao Tang, Oliver T. Slattery, Lijun Ma
A compact scheme for high-speed frequency doubling and down-conversion on a single dual-element PPKTP waveguide is investigated. Optimal temperature is achieved and photon pair coincidence is observed at over GHz repetition rate with pulsed pump input

A Quantum Network Manager That Supports A One-Time Pad Stream

We have begun to expand the NIST quantum key distribution (QKD) system into a quantum network to support secure cryptography. We are starting with a simple three-node network, one Alice switched between Bob1 and Bob2. To support such a quantum network, we

Low-Noise PPLN-based Single-Photon Detector

Hai Xu, Lijun Ma, Oliver T. Slattery, Xiao Tang
This paper describes the detection of single photons, which have been transmitted through standard fiber at the telecom wavelength of 1310 nm. Following transmission, the 1310-nm photon is up-converted to 710 nm in a periodical-poled LiNbO3 (PPLN)
