	Title	High rate long-distance quantum key distribution over 250 km of ultra low loss fibres			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2009	Publication	New J. Phys.	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	11	Issue	7	Pages	075003
	Keywords	SSPD, quantum cryptography, QKD, COW
	Abstract	We present a fully automated quantum key distribution prototype running at 625 MHz clock rate. Taking advantage of ultra low loss fibres and low-noise superconducting detectors, we can distribute 6,000 secret bits per second over 100 km and 15 bits per second over 250km.

	Title	Single-photon sources–an introduction			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2009	Publication	J. Modern Opt.	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	56	Issue	2-3	Pages	141-160
	Keywords	LOQC; quantum cryptography; QKD
	Abstract	This review surveys the physical principles and recent developments in manufacturing single-photon sources. Special emphasis is placed on important potential applications such as linear optical quantum computing (LOQC), quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum metrology that drive the development of these sources of single photons. We discuss the quantum-mechanical properties of light prepared in a quantum state of definite photon number and compare it with coherent light that shows a Poissonian distribution of photon numbers. We examine how the single-photon fidelity directly influences the ability to transmit secure quantum bits over a predefined distance. The theoretical description of modified spontaneous decay, the main principle behind single-photon generation, provides the background for many experimental implementations such as those using microresonators or pillar microcavities. The main alternative way to generate single photons using postselection of entangled photon pairs from parametric down-conversion, will be discussed. We concentrate on describing the underlying physical principles and we will point out limitations and open problems associated with single-photon production.

	Title	After-gate attack on a quantum cryptosystem			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2011	Publication	New J. Phys.	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	13	Issue	1	Pages	14
	Keywords	quantum cryptography; hacking; interception; attack; SPD; APD; QKD
	Abstract	We present a method to control the detection events in quantum key distribution systems that use gated single-photon detectors. We employ bright pulses as faked states, timed to arrive at the avalanche photodiodes outside the activation time. The attack can remain unnoticed, since the faked states do not increase the error rate per se. This allows for an intercept-resend attack, where an eavesdropper transfers her detection events to the legitimate receiver without causing any errors. As a side effect, afterpulses, originating from accumulated charge carriers in the detectors, increase the error rate. We have experimentally tested detectors of the system id3110 (Clavis2) from ID Quantique. We identify the parameter regime in which the attack is feasible despite the side effect. Furthermore, we outline how simple modifications in the implementation can make the device immune to this attack.
