Quantum State Reconstruction with a Single-element SSPD at Telecommunication Wavelengths

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate high fidelity quantum state reconstruction of coherent and thermal states of light using a single NbN superconducting single photon detector (SSPD). SSPDs outperform commonly used avalanche photodiodes for the task of quantum state reconstruction.
