Multi-photon entanglement from distant single photon sources on demand
We describe a scheme that allows for the generation of any desired N-photon state on demand. Under ideal conditions, this requires only N single photon sources, laser pulses and linear optics elements. First, the sources should be initialised with the help of single-qubit rotations and repeat-until-success two-qubit quantum gates [Lim et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 030305 (2005)]. Afterwards, the...
متن کاملPhoton polarisation entanglement from distant dipole sources
It is commonly believed that photon polarisation entanglement can only be obtained via pair creation within the same source or via postselective measurements on photons that overlapped within their coherence time inside a linear optics setup. In contrast to this, we show here that polarisation entanglement can also be produced by distant single photon sources in free space and without the photo...
متن کاملQuantum entanglement – multi-photon sources
Entanglement lies in the heart of almost all methods of quantum communication and computation. Efficient and economical generation of entangled states of light are of crucial importance for the success of future quantum communication applications. This article introduces the experimental methods to produce entangled light modes both in the discrete and continuous variable regime.
متن کاملMulti-photon absorption limits to heralded single photon sources
Single photons are of paramount importance to future quantum technologies, including quantum communication and computation. Nonlinear photonic devices using parametric processes offer a straightforward route to generating photons, however additional nonlinear processes may come into play and interfere with these sources. Here we analyse spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) sources in the presenc...
متن کاملPurification of single-photon entanglement.
Single-photon entanglement is a simple form of entanglement that exists between two spatial modes sharing a single photon. Despite its elementary form, it provides a resource as useful as polarization-entangled photons and it can be used for quantum teleportation and entanglement swapping operations. Here, we report the first experiment where single-photon entanglement is purified with a simple...
