What’s recent in my life and on the site:
I’m visiting CQT Singapore until July 5. I’ll be back to Trondheim on July 7.
Paper based on a significantly updated earlier preprint: V. Makarov, “Controlling passively quenched single photon detectors by bright light,” New J. Phys. 11, 065003 (2009).
Preprint: V. Makarov, A. Anisimov, and S. Sauge, “Can Eve control PerkinElmer actively-quenched single-photon detector?”, arXiv:0809.3408 [quant-ph].
It has been covered in New Scientist,
in arXiv blog,
in Ars Technica,
and in Adresseavisen
(after that, I
have
discovered
that
most
media
and
blogs
often
copy
each
other).
See also our poster from SECOQC conference (PDF, 13.2 MiB).
After a year in Korea, I am back to our group in Trondheim, NTNU. We’re going to do some hacking, err... research about real level of security of today’s quantum cryptosystems.
Things that distract me from science:
Photography
 Russian Anthems museum | ru
Ramble on various topics:
Миллион алых роз, или дневник о годе с довеском моей жизни в Корее.
Web hosting guide and experience, including a tip on maximizing Internet connection speed on your Windows box
Best spam I got

Links that changed me
Family photo archive
Photo from my Lights of Trondheim gallery
Social (in)activity:
I am
(barely responsive) consultant in Landsmann | ru magazine
(now inactive) editor of Russian-Norwegian Directory | ru
Research interests: quantum cryptanalysis and quantum cryptography.
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantum Hacking group at NTNU.
