Entanglement-based QKD protocols require robust and stable photon pair sources in terms of high heralding efficiencies or photon pair generation rates even under harsh environmental conditions, e.g. when operated in the field. In this…
Entangled photons are a crucial resource for quantum communication and linear optical quantum computation. Unfortunately, the applicability of many photon-based schemes is limited due to the stochastic character of the photon sources.…
