| Low-error encoder for time-bin and decoy states for quantum key distribution | QCRYPT 2024 | Davide Scalcon, Giuseppe Vallone, Paolo Villoresi, Marco Avesani |
We propose the MacZac, a time-bin encoder with ultra-low intrinsic QBER (<2e-5) and high stability. The device is based on nested Sagnac and Mach–Zehnder interferometers and uses a single phase modulator for both decoy and state preparation, greatly simplifying the optical setup. The encoder does not require any active compensation or feedback system and it can be scaled for the generation of states with arbitrary dimension. We realized and tested the device performances as a stand alone component and in a complete QKD experiment. |
