Qubit coherence measurements are now sufficiently accurate that they can be used to perform 'spectroscopy' of noise due to a complex environment. Measuring not only the decay time, but also the form of decay as a function of some external parameter (e.g. temperature) can determine the nature of the dominant decoherence source. I will describe how temperature-dependent measurements of qubit...

NanoQEY (Nano Quantum EncrYption satellite) is a demonstration satellite which will show the feasibility of implementing Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) between two ground stations on earth using a satellite trusted node approach. One of the main objectives of NanoQEY is to eliminate the necessity for a fine pointing system which will reduce cost and planning time for a satellite. The system...

Many applications of quantum information processing benefit from, or even require, the possibility to detect the number of photons in a given signal pulse without destroying the photons nor the encoded quantum state. We propose and show first steps towards the implementation of such a Quantum Non-Demolition (QND) measurement for time-bin qubits. To implement this measurement, we first store a...

Two new evanescent field microscopy technologies based on glass slab waveguides with permanent coupling gratings are introduced: waveguide evanescent field fluorescence (WEFF) microscopy and waveguide evanescent field scattering (WEFS) microscopy.
The technologies are briefly described and the experimental setup based on a conventional inverted microscope is introduced and compared to...
