  Title Spectrally multiplexed single-photon detection with hybrid superconducting nanophotonic circuits: supplementary material Type Miscellaneous
  Year 2017 Publication Optica Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 1-9  
  Keywords (down) Quantum detectors; Spectrometers and spectroscopic instrumentation; Nanophotonics and photonic crystals; Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy; Fluorescence resonance energy transfer; Fluorescence spectroscopy; Imaging techniques; Optical components; Quantum key distribution  
  Abstract This document provides supplementary information to “Spectrally multiplexed single-photon detection with hybrid superconducting nanophotonic circuits", DOI:10.1364/optica.4.000557. Here we detail the on-chip spectrometer design, its characterization and the experimental setup we used. In addition, we present a detailed report concerning the characterization of the superconducting nanowire single photon detectors. In the final sections, we describe sample preparation and characterization of the nanodiamonds containing silicon vacancy color centers.

  Title Quantum detection by current carrying superconducting film Type Journal Article
  Year 2001 Publication Phys. C: Supercond. Abbreviated Journal Phys. C: Supercond.  
  Volume 351 Issue 4 Pages 349-356  
  Keywords (down) quantum detection, phase slip centers, quasiparticle diffusion  
  Abstract We describe a novel quantum detection mechanism in the superconducting film carrying supercurrent. The mechanism incorporates growing normal domain and breaking of superconductivity by the bias current. A single photon absorbed in the film creates transient normal spot that causes redistribution of the current and, consequently, increase of the current density in superconducting areas. When the current density exceeds the critical value, the film switches into resistive state and generates the voltage pulse. Analysis shows that a submicron-wide film of conventional low temperature superconductor operated in liquid helium may detect single far-infrared photon. The amplitude and duration of the voltage pulse are in the millivolt and picosecond range, respectively. The quantitative model is presented that allows simulation of the detector utilizing this detection mechanism.

  Title Quantum key distribution protocol with private-public key Type Journal Article
  Year 2009 Publication arXiv Abbreviated Journal arXiv  
  Volume Issue Pages 3  
  Keywords (down) quantum cryptography; QKD; protocol  
  Abstract A quantum cryptographic protocol based in public key cryptography combinations and private key cryptography is presented. Unlike the BB84 protocol 1 and its many variants 2,3 two quantum channels are used. The present research does not make reconciliation mechanisms of information to derive the key. A three related system of key distribution are described.

  Title Thermal blinding of gated detectors in quantum cryptography Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication Optics Express Abbreviated Journal Opt. Express  
  Volume 18 Issue 26 Pages 27938-27954  
  Keywords (down) quantum cryptography; QKD; hacking; SPD; APD  
  Abstract It has previously been shown that the gated detectors of two commercially available quantum key distribution (QKD) systems are blindable and controllable by an eavesdropper using continuous-wave illumination and short bright trigger pulses, manipulating voltages in the circuit [L. Lydersen et al., Nat. Photonics DOI:10.1038/nphoton.2010.214]. This allows for an attack eavesdropping the full raw and secret key without increasing the quantum bit error rate (QBER). Here we show how thermal effects in detectors under bright illumination can lead to the same outcome. We demonstrate that the detectors in a commercial QKD system Clavis2 can be blinded by heating the avalanche photo diodes (APDs) using bright illumination, so-called thermal blinding. Further, the detectors can be triggered using short bright pulses once they are blind. For systems with pauses between packet transmission such as the plug-and-play systems, thermal inertia enables Eve to apply the bright blinding illumination before eavesdropping, making her more difficult to catch.

  Volume 169 Issue 5 Pages 507-527  
  Keywords (down) quantum cryptography; QKD, BB84  
  Abstract Новое направление физики – квантовая информация – возникло на стыке квантовой механики, оптики, теории относительности и программирования, дискретной математики, лазерной физики и спектроскопии и включает в себя вопросы квантовых вычислений, квантовых компьютеров, квантовой телепортации и квантовой криптографии, проблемы декогеренции и спектроскопии одиночных молекул и примесных центров. Сообщается о некоторых новых результатах в этой быстро развивающейся области исследований.
