Communications with Single and Entangled Photon Pairs
We present recent experimental work related with the generation of single and entangled photon pairs. We analyze the source statistics and the degree of entanglement. We discuss techniques to code information in the photons polarization and to compensate for polarization fluctuations due to propagation. We present a method to estimate the QBER in communication systems based on polarization encoding.
Please note exceptional day and time.
