The Experiment

These pages describe different components of the experimental setting. Our quantum key distribution experiment has been demonstrated in public on december 13th 2000.

• The physical apparatus: Describe the implementation of the quantum channel including the software responsible for driving the components.
• The software: Describe QuCrypt, the software specially developped for experimenting with quantum protocols.
• Security analysis: A security analysis of our setting against restricted yet realistic adversaries.
• Some runs: A list of runs of our experiment with the output generated by QuCrypt. Soon the runs will show ouputs generated during real experiments.
• Paper in postcript or dvi giving an overview of our experiment (to appear in the Journal of Modern Optics).
