Quantum key distribution (QKD) uses quantum mechanics to promise information-theoretic security between remote parties. It has received worldwide attention as a candidate protocol for next-generation secure communications, and it paves the way for large-scale quantum networks. However, practical components in the sender/receiver of a QKD system can still contain loopholes. Ensuring the...

We present progress on exploiting photon-number statistics to characterize ensembles of distinguishable light emitters beyond conventional resolution limits. The photon-number distribution of light collected from an ensemble can carry statistical signatures that reflect the properties of its constituents, even when relevant degrees of freedom such as time, frequency, or spatial mode cannot...

The coherence of a light source is a key property that is used to determine most of the assumptions we can make about that light source. However, the coherence of light is commonly defined in multiple ways. Practically, the coherence time is often defined as the maximum time difference at which interference fringes are visible when a light source interferes with itself. We can define the...

The advent of reliable single-photon generation and detection has significantly accelerated the development of quantum technologies in real-world applications, including quantum-secure communication across metropolitan networks. To support the standardization of the operation and characterization of quantum devices, the NRC Metrology Research Centre has established a calibration platform for...
