The detector is based on an ultrathin, submicron-wide NbN meander-type stripe and can detect individual photons in the visible to near-infrared wavelength range at a rate of at least 10 Gb/s. The above counting rate allows us to implement the NbN device to unconditionally secret quantum key distRochester, New Yorkribution in a practical, high-speed system using real-time Vernam enciphering.", optnote="-- from poster session.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1544), last updated on Mon, 24 May 2021 13:47:45 -0500", doi="10.1364/Icqi.2001.Pa3", opturl="http://www.osapublishing.org/abstract.cfm?URI=ICQI-2001-PA3", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1364/Icqi.2001.Pa3" }
