Towards experimental demonstration of quantum position verification using single photons

Abstract

We show our progress towards experimental demonstration of quantum position verification, a future quantum network application where the geographic location enables remote authentication of a party. We implement a loss-tolerant protocol with photons produced in a semiconductor quantum dot - cavity system that undergo Hong-Ou-Mandel quantum interference at the location to be verified.
