Discrimination between Nonorthogonal Two-photon Polarization States *
It is shown that generalized measurements, required for optimally discriminating between nonorthogonal joint polarization states of two indistinguishable photons, can be realized with the help of polarization-dependent twophoton absorption and by means of sum-frequency generation. Optimization schemes are investigated with respect to minimizing the error probability in inferring the states, as ...

متن کاملOptimal distinction between non-orthogonal quantum states
Given a finite set of linearly independent quantum states, an observer who examines a single quantum system may sometimes identify its state with certainty. However, unless these quantum states are orthogonal, there is a finite probability of failure. A complete solution is given to the problem of optimal distinction of three states, having arbitrary prior probabilities and arbitrary detection ...
متن کاملTwo Photon Polarization Spectroscopy
2014 Dichroism and birefringence are studied for the case of a strong saturating laser and a linearly polarized weak probe laser interacting with a dilute gas. For linearly or circularly polarized saturating laser fields the optical analog of the Kerr or Faraday effect are obtained respectively. Two photon, Doppler-free polarization effects are studied for two and three level systems (J = 0 ~ J...
متن کاملCharacterization of two-photon polarization mixed states generated from entangled-classical hybrid photon source.
We experimentally prepare bi-photon mixed states in polarization employing an entangled-classical hybrid photon emitter which can properly model solid-state entangled photon sources with uncorrelated background photons. Polarization-uncorrelated photon pairs in totally mixed (TM) states are embodied with classical thermal radiation, while the polarization-entangled ones in a Bell state are gene...
