Measurements using a setup to demonstrate the decoy-state approach.

The internship project, performed in collaboration with a theorist group at the University of Calgary, will demonstrate the decoy-state approach to analyze simple – but non-trivial – circuits with 2-3 inputs and outputs utilizing bulk photonics components. The intern will assist the team with building a setup and perform the measurements needed for the analysis. This work will involve the use of fast electronics (arbitrary waveform generators, amplifiers, time-taggers), optical/phtonic components (optical fibers, power meters, phase- and intensity modulators, couplers), single-photon detectors, and coincidence analysis tools. The intern may also be involved in the decoy state analysis depending on time and progress
