Quantum Photonics Platform
Modular Rack solution for Quantum Communications
AUREA Technology provides modular telecom-wavelength photonic building blocks for quantum communications, quantum networking and advanced photon-correlation systems. The portfolio covers the key optical functions from photon and entangled-pair generation to single-photon detection, picosecond timing and coincidence analysis. These building blocks can be integrated into a wide range of quantum-photonic architectures, including BB84 prepare-and-measure QKD, BBM92 entanglement-based QKD, entanglement distribution and quantum-network testbeds.
BB84 — PREPARE-AND-MEASURE ARCHITECTURE
A BB84 transmitter combines a pulsed optical source with controlled attenuation, intensity modulation and quantum-state encoding. At the receiver, the transmitted states are analyzed in the selected measurement basis and detected at the single-photon level.

BBM92 — ENTANGLEMENT-BASED ARCHITECTURE
TPS-1550 generates telecom-wavelength entangled photon pairs that are separated and distributed to Alice and Bob. Each receiver performs an independent basis measurement using optical analyzers and single-photon detectors. Detection events are time-correlated to identify photon-pair coincidences and characterize the distributed quantum states.
