Abstract

In Quantum Microwave Photonic (QMWP) systems, the most commonly used technique for signal recovery is Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting (TCSPC), which records the arrival time of the photon events and further recovers the Radio Frequency (RF) signal from the recorded time histogram. In this paper, we investigate the effect of time jitter on the non-local signal recovery in QMWP. By comparing the signal recovery results of two types of Single Photon Detectors (SPDs), including Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) and Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs). The results show that the time jitter of the SPD limits the highest frequency of the non-local signal recovery. Meanwhile, the achieved Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) has been observed to decrease with the RF frequency increase due to the photons decreasing in period. Furthermore, the results provide a guideline for the QMWP under different application occasions, which helps to choose suitable detectors.
