Waterloo researcher looks to increase security in quantum communication

Friday, September 4, 2015

Electrical and Computer Engineering professor Michael Reimer helped to develop the first source of on-demand single time-bin entangle photon pairs with no possibility of producing extra unwanted pairs. Reimer, who is part of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), worked with a team of international researchers to complete the project. The team used a quantum dot - a conductive nano-sized object - to generate the single pairs of polarization entangle photons on-demand.

Set-up based on a quantum dot and a polarization-time-bin interface.
