So far I haven't produced much worthwile in english in my
university time.
If you understand German, you should take a look at my German university page.
Research Project: High Bit Rate Quantum Key Distribution Systems
The focus of this project was mainly on data analysis for a
particular QKD system.
Other work included some experimental work to obtain data to test the
programs with, and work on the single photon sources.
