Effects of nonideal features of silicon photomultiplier on the measurements of quantum correlations
Giovanni Chesi, Alessia Allevi, Maria Bondani · International Journal of Quantum Information · 2019
We analyze the effects of some stochastic deviations from the ideal response in silicon photomultipliers that prove to be detrimental for the measurement of quantum properties of light. We demonstrate that an optimized operation mode can overcome some limitations of the detectors allowing the characterization of entanglement in mesoscopic twin-beam states.
