Entangled-photon ellipsometry
Performing reliable measurements in optical metrology, such as those needed in ellipsometry, requires a calibrated source and detector, or a wellcharacterized reference sample. We present a novel interferometric technique to perform reliable ellipsometric measurements. This technique relies on the use of a non-classical optical source, namely polarization-entangled twin photons generated by spo...
متن کاملQuantum cryptography with entangled photons
By realizing a quantum cryptography system based on polarization entangled photon pairs we establish highly secure keys, because a single photon source is approximated and the inherent randomness of quantum measurements is exploited. We implement a novel key distribution scheme using Wigner's inequality to test the security of the quantum channel, and, alternatively, realize a variant of the BB...
متن کاملQuantum metrology with entangled photons
Although most physics experiments are carried out with independent particles, it is the collective nature of entangled particles that reveals the most fascinating and unexpected aspects of the quantum world. It was Erwin Schrödinger who first said “entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics”. One curious aspect of the behavior of a pair of particles in an e...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 8 Nonclassical Correlation of Polarisation Entangled Photons in a Biexciton - Exciton Cascade
We develop a theoretical model to study the Intensity-Intensity correlation of polarisation entangled photons emitted in a biexciton-exciton cascade. We calculate the degree of correlation and show how polarisation correlations are affected by the presence of dephasing and energy level splitting of the excitonic states. Our theoretical calculations are in agreement with the recent observation o...
متن کاملHyper-entangled photons
We experimentally demonstrate the first quantum system entangled in every degree of freedom (hyper-entangled). Using pairs of photons produced in spontaneous parametric downconversion, we verify entanglement by observing a Bell-type inequality violation in each degree of freedom: polarization, spatial mode and time-energy. We also produce and characterize maximally hyperentangled states and nov...
