Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Photon
  • Optics

Hugo Zbinden mainly investigates Quantum key distribution, Quantum mechanics, Quantum information science, Quantum entanglement and Photon. His study in Quantum key distribution is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quantum cryptography, Optical fiber, Electronic engineering and Computer network. Hugo Zbinden studies BB84, a branch of Quantum cryptography.

As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of BB84, focusing on Quantum money and, on occasion, Theoretical physics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Quantum information, Quantum optics and Qubit in addition to Quantum information science. Photon is a subfield of Optics that Hugo Zbinden explores.

His most cited work include:

  • Quantum Cryptography (5729 citations)
  • Violation of Bell Inequalities by Photons More Than 10 km Apart (612 citations)
  • The SECOQC quantum key distribution network in Vienna (560 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Hugo Zbinden spends much of his time researching Photon, Quantum key distribution, Optics, Quantum mechanics and Detector. His Photon study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Quantum entanglement, Quantum information science, Spontaneous parametric down-conversion, Quantum and Interferometry. His Quantum entanglement research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photonics, Interference and Topology.

His work focuses on many connections between Quantum key distribution and other disciplines, such as Quantum cryptography, that overlap with his field of interest in Key generation. His Detector study combines topics in areas such as Optoelectronics, Diode and Jitter. The Optoelectronics study combines topics in areas such as Avalanche photodiode and Negative feedback.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Hugo Zbinden focuses on Quantum key distribution, Detector, Optoelectronics, Key and Photon. His Quantum key distribution study combines topics in areas such as Quantum cryptography, BB84, Protocol, Quantum state and Electronic engineering. His Optoelectronics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Avalanche photodiode and Optics.

His work investigates the relationship between Key and topics such as State that intersect with problems in Decoy state. His Photon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quantum entanglement and Spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Hugo Zbinden interconnects Quantum technology and Topology in the investigation of issues within Quantum entanglement.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Secure Quantum Key Distribution over 421 km of Optical Fiber. (261 citations)
  • High-detection efficiency and low-timing jitter with amorphous superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (64 citations)
  • Megahertz-Rate Semi-Device-Independent Quantum Random Number Generators Based on Unambiguous State Discrimination (61 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Photon
  • Optics

His primary scientific interests are in Quantum key distribution, Detector, Quantum entanglement, Photon and Electronic engineering. He combines subjects such as Protocol and BB84 with his study of Quantum key distribution. Hugo Zbinden works mostly in the field of Detector, limiting it down to topics relating to Optoelectronics and, in certain cases, Photosensitizer, as a part of the same area of interest.
