    Abstract: Quantum network nodes use light from a laser to stimulate emission of single photons. A detection station detects arrival of the photons from the quantum network nodes at a photon arrival detector. In time slots between single photon emissions, the quantum network node supply light from the laser to the detection station. The detection station measures a phase differences between light from a reference laser and the light received from different quantum network nodes in said time slots. The detection station has optical phase and/or frequency modulators between the optical inputs for light from the quantum network nodes and the photon arrival detector.
