Quantum Entanglement and the Two-Photon Stokes Parameters
A formalism for two-photon Stokes parameters is introduced to describe the polarization entanglement of photon pairs. This leads to the definition of a degree of two-photon polarization, which describes the extent to which the two photons act as a pair and not as two independent photons. This pair-wise polarization is complementary to the degree of polarization of the individual photons. The ap...
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 کاملExperimental two-photon, three-dimensional entanglement for quantum communication.
Orbital angular momentum entangled photons emitted by a down-conversion source are in higher dimensional entangled states. Here we report the experimental confirmation by demonstrating a violation of a generalized Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt-type Bell inequality in three dimensions by more than 18 standard deviations. Higher dimensional entangled states allow the realization of new types of quan...
متن کاملEntanglement and quantum order parameters
We show that the quantum order parameters (QOPs) associated with the transitions between a normal conductor and a superconductor in the BCS and η-pairing models and between a Mott-insulator and a superfluid in the Bose–Hubbard model are directly related to the amount of entanglement existent in the ground state of each system. This connection gives a physical meaningful interpretation to these ...
متن کاملMulti-Photon Entanglement and Quantum Non-Locality
We review recent experiments concerning multi-photon Greenberger–Horne– Zeilinger (GHZ) entanglement. We have experimentally demonstrated GHZ entanglement of up to four photons by making use of pulsed parametric downconversion. On the basis of measurements on three-photon entanglement, we have realized the first experimental test of quantum non-locality following from the GHZ argument. Not only...
