• Abstract summary: Detection of time-bin qubits has been limited to the nanosecond range owing to the limited temporal resolution of single-photon detectors. We developed an up-conversion single-photon detector (UCSPD) using commercial nonlinear crystals of different lengths. This detector achieved a temporal resolution of 415 fs and up-conversion efficiency of 10.1 %.

• Abstract: Time-bin qubits, in which quantum information is encoded in a single photon at different times $\Delta$t, are suitable for long-distance transmission via optical fibers. However, detection of time-bin qubits has been limited to the nanosecond range owing to the limited temporal resolution of single-photon detectors. In this study, we developed an up-conversion single-photon detector (UCSPD), using commercial nonlinear crystals of different lengths. By changing the crystal length and pump power, we quantitatively evaluated the efficiency and temporal resolution of the UCSPD and determined the optimal conditions for measuring femtosecond time-bin qubits. This detector achieved a temporal resolution of 415 fs and up-conversion efficiency of 10.1 %. Consequently, we successfully evaluated single-photon level pseudo femtosecond time-bin qubits with a pulse interval of only 800 fs.
