Fast Single Photon Detectors and real-time Key Distillation: Enabling High Secret Key Rate QKD Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Quantum Key Distribution has made continuous progress over the last 20 years and is now commercially available. However, the secret key rates (SKR) are still limited to a few Mbps. Here, we present a custom multipixel superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors and fast acquisition and real-time key distillation electronics, removing two ...

Resistance of Acacia to the Acacia Psyllid, Psylla uncatoides [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Horticulture, 1983
Thirty-one species of Acacia were quantitatively evaluated in the field at San Jose, CA, for resistance to the acacia psyllid, Psylla uncatoides (Ferris and Klyver). This insect causes foliage necrosis and dieback of the tips of susceptible Acacia. A few species exhibited no infestation by the insect, many were found highly to moderately resistant, and

Silicon photonic integration in telecommunications

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2015
Silicon photonics is the guiding of light in a planar arrangement of silicon-based materials to perform various functions. We focus here on the use of silicon photonics to create transmitters and receivers for fiber-optic telecommunications.

Invertebrate and vertebrate predation rates in a hyperarid ecosystem following an oil spill

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Extreme temperatures and scarce precipitation in deserts have led to abiotic factors often being regarded as more important than biotic ones in shaping desert communities. The presumed low biological activity of deserts is also one reason why deserts are
