Miniaturization of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss configuration (Conference Presentation)

Miniaturized versions of nowadays tabletop setups will be necessary for a successful commercialization of quantum cryptography and computing. Within this contribution, we present a concept for downsizing the Hanbury Brown-Twiss configuration. The design is based on optical simulations, with the aim of finding the best compromise of detection efficiency and level of miniaturization. Since scattering effects are important for evaluating the system’s performance, a complete scattering analysis got performed.
