Title Increased detection efficiencies of nanowire single-photon detectors by integration of an optical cavity and anti-reflection coating Type Conference Article
Year 2006 Publication CLEO/QELS Abbreviated Journal CLEO/QELS
Volume Issue (up) Pages JTuF2 (1 to 2)
Keywords SSPD, SNSPD
Abstract We fabricate and test superconducting NbN-nanowire single-photon detectors with an integrated optical cavity and anti-reflection coating. We design the cavity and coating such as to maximize absorption in the NbN film of the detector.

Title Nanosecond, transient resistive state in two-dimensional superconducting stripes Type Abstract
Year 2006 Publication Proc. APS March Meeting Abbreviated Journal Proc. APS March Meeting
Volume Issue (up) Pages H38.13
Keywords NbN stripes
Abstract We have observed, nanosecond-in-duration, transient voltage pulses, generated across two-dimensional (2-D) NbN stripes (width: 100--500 nm; thickness: 3.5--10 nm) of various lengths (1--500 μm), when the wires were completely isolated from the outside world, biased at currents close to the critical current, and kept at temperatures below the mean-field critical temperature Tco. In 2-D superconducting films, at temperatures below the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, all vortices are bound and the resistance is zero. However, these vortices can get unbound when a large enough transport current is applied. The latter results in a transient resistive state, which manifests itself as spontaneous, 2.5--8-ns-long voltage pulses with the amplitude corresponding to the unbinding potential of a vortex pair. In our 100-nm-wide stripes, we have also observed the formation of phase slip centers (PSCs) at temperatures close to Tco, and a mixture of PSCs and unbound vortex-antivortex pairs at low temperatures.

Title Transition-edge sensors based on superconducting nanowires Type Abstract
Year 2006 Publication Proc. APS March Meeting Abbreviated Journal Proc. APS March Meeting
Volume Issue (up) Pages B38.00001
Keywords NbN nanowire TES
Abstract We present our experimental study of superconducting NbN nanowire-based sensor. The responsivity of the sensor is strongly affected by the superconducting transition width of the nanostructure, which, in turn, is determined by the phase slip centers (PCSs) dynamics. The fluctuations and noise properties of the sensor are also discussed, as well as the devices' behavior at high magnetic fields. The ultimate performance of the sensor and prospects of the devices will be discussed, as well.

Title Experimental quantum teleportation of a two-qubit composite system Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.
Volume 2 Issue (up) 10 Pages 678-682
Keywords fromIPMRAS; quantum teleportation
Abstract Quantum teleportation, a way to transfer the state of a quantum system from one location to another, is central to quantum communication and plays an important role in a number of quantum computation protocols. Previous experimental demonstrations have been implemented with single photonic or ionic qubits. However, teleportation of single qubits is insufficient for a large-scale realization of quantum communication and computation. Here, we present the experimental realization of quantum teleportation of a two-qubit composite system. In the experiment, we develop and exploit a six-photon interferometer to teleport an arbitrary polarization state of two photons. The observed teleportation fidelities for different initial states are all well beyond the state estimation limit of 0.40 for a two-qubit system. Not only does our six-photon interferometer provide an important step towards teleportation of a complex system, it will also enable future experimental investigations on a number of fundamental quantum communication and computation protocols
