QKD receiver characterization (Polarization)

Calibrated polarization-state generator to characterize polarization analysis modules in QKD receivers and rigorously quantify the impact on secure key rates.

Team members: Elias X. Huber, various AI agents (open to join forces with other humans as well, you can reach me at elias.x.huber[at typical nus sufix]; please note though that I will likely do the experiment at UTown (CREATE Tower), my schedule tends to be a bit inflexible for team-work, and I am a theorist with no lab experience).


Control and measurement in the bosonic cQED system
