The receiver Bob
The receiver Bob
This Bob receives photons through the yellow fiber-optic cable coming from Alice (or from Eve as has been the case in our eavesdropping experiment). The polarization of each received photon is analyzed in a compact unit (top) that contains four single-photon detectors. The timing of photon detection events is recorded by a timestamp unit (bottom).
Both units have been built at the Centre for quantum technologies, Singapore.
