Optical Bell-state analysis in the coincidence basis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many quantum information protocols require a Bell-state measurement of entangled systems. Most optical Bell-state measurements utilize two-photon interference at a beam splitter. By creating polarization-entangled photons with spontaneous parametric down-conversion using a first-order Hermite-Gaussian pump beam, we invert the usual interference behavior and perform an incomplete Bell-state measurement in the coincidence basis. We discuss the possibility of a complete Bell-state measurement in the coincidence basis using hyperentangled states [Phys. Rev. A, 58, R2623 (1998)].

Coincidence point and common fixed point results via scalarization function
The main purpose of this paper is to obtain sufficient conditions for existence of points of coincidence and common fixed points for three self mappings in $b$-metric spaces. Next, we obtain cone $b$-metric version of these results by using a scalarization function. Our results extend and generalize several well known comparable results in the existing literature.
متن کاملCoupled coincidence point theorems for maps under a new invariant set in ordered cone metric spaces
In this paper, we prove some coupled coincidence point theorems for mappings satisfying generalized contractive conditions under a new invariant set in ordered cone metric spaces. In fact, we obtain sufficient conditions for existence of coupled coincidence points in the setting of cone metric spaces. Some examples are provided to verify the effectiveness and applicability of our results.
متن کاملQuantum state tomography of a fiber-based source of polarization-entangled photon pairs.
We report an experimental demonstration of a bright high-fidelity single-mode-optical-fiber source of polarization-entangled photon pairs. The source takes advantage of single-mode fiber optics, highly nonlinear microstructure fiber, judicious phase-matching, and the inherent stability provided by a Sagnac interferometer. With a modest average pump power (300 microW), we create all four Bell st...
متن کاملBell’s inequalities, multiphoton states and phase space distributions
The connection between quantum optical nonclassicality and the violation of Bell’s inequalities is explored. Bell type Ž . inequalities for the electromagnetic field are formulated for general states arbitrary number or photons, pure or mixed of quantised radiation and their violation is connected to other nonclassical properties of the field. Classical states are shown to obey these inequaliti...
متن کاملComment on ‘Simulation of Bell states with incoherent thermal light’
Recently, Chen et al (2011 New J. Phys. 13 083018) presented experimental results, accompanied by quantum-mechanical analysis, showing that the quantum interference behavior of Bell states could be simulated in a modified Mach–Zehnder interferometer whose inputs are pseudothermal light beams obtained by passing laser light through a rotating ground-glass diffuser. Their experiments and their th...
