Abstract
In a fiber-based quantum network, reliable transmission of polarization-encoded photons remains a challenging task due to the presence of polarization mode dispersion, which randomly rotates the polarization of propagating photons and causes errors. We present our work on the characterization of polarization stability of deployed fiber links, as well as demonstrating a technique for stabilizing the polarization transformation of a fiber using a reference signal generated at single-photon-level intensity. Our method continuously operates at a wavelength adjacent to the quantum channel and creates minimal interruptions to the quantum network operations.
