  2. Structure • What is light? • Decoherence of photons • Single photon detection • Encoding bits with single photons and single bit manipulation. • Linear logic • Entangled state sources • Single photon sources • Quantum Cryptography

  3. λ=1.5um Eph=0.8eV λ=0.33um Eph=4eV The electro-magnetic spectrum Optical Photon energy Eph=hf>>KT Particle like Particle like Wave-like during propagation V+

  4. Decoherence of photons: associated with loss • Storage time in fibre 5μs/km, loss 0.17 dB/km (96%) • Polarised light from stars==Storage for 6500 years!

  5. Photon counting using avalanche photodiodes Photon absorbed Photon is absorbed in the avalanche region to create an electron hole pair Electron and hole are accelerated in the high electric field Collide with other electrons and holes to create more pairs With high enough field the device breaks down when one photon is absorbed

  6. Commercial actively quenched detector module using Silicon APDEfficiency ~70% (at 700nm)Timing jitter~400ps (latest <50ps)Dark counts <50/secwww.perkinelmer.com InGaAs avalanche detectors: Gated modules operation at 1550nm Lower efficiency ~20-30% Higher dark counts ~1E4/sec Afterpulsing (10 us dead time) www.idquantique.com

  7. Other detectors • The Geiger mode avalanche diodes count one photon then switch off for a dead time before they are ready to detect another-NOT PHOTON NUMBER RESOLVING • Photon number resolving detectors may become available in the near future: • Cryogenic superconducting to resistive transitions Jaspan et al APL 89, 031112, 2006 • Impurity transitions in heavily doped silicon (Takeuchi)

  8. Interference effectswith single photons U Single photon can only be detected in one detector However interference pattern built up from many individual counts P. Grangier et al, Europhysics Letters 1986  L In the interferometer we have superposition state

  9. After the interferometer:
