Towards a Multi-Pixel Photon-to-Digital Converter for Time-Bin Quantum Key Distribution

Towards a Multi-Pixel Photon-to-Digital Converter for Time-Bin Quantum Key Distribution

We present an integrated single-photon detection device custom designed for quantum key distribution (QKD) with time-bin encoded single photons. We implemented and demonstrated a prototype photon-to-digital converter (PDC) that integrates an 8 × 8 single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array with on-c...
