Advancing Quantum Communication with Deterministic Quantum Light Sources from Laboratory- to Field-Experiments — •Mareike Lach, Koray Kaymazlar, Pratim Saha, Martin von Helversen, and Tobias Heindel — Institut für Festkörperphysik, Technische Universität Berlin, 10623 Berlin, Germany

The advances in the field of non-classical light generation using solid-state quantum light sources fostered the exploration of applications in quantum communication and networking. This interdisciplinary field thereby increasingly evolves from laboratory-scale to field-experiments [1]. In this contribution we address the design, set-up and characterization of stand-alone compact modules for field-deployable quantum communication systems. In this context key components of the transmitter- and receiver-stations for quantum key distribution protocols are discussed, including mobile quntum light sources, fast qubit-state encoders, and qubit-state analyzers. Advancing the field-deployment of quantum technologies will foster both the progress in explorativ research projects as well as the transfer to their commercialization.
