Towards Continuous Fiber Birefringence Compensation with Single-Photon-Level Light

Abstract

We propose a method for continuously compensating for the polarization state change of photons propagating in fibers. This technique operates at a single-photon-level intensity and therefore imposes minimal noise on the quantum channel.
