Realization of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox using momentum- and position-entangled photons from spontaneous parametric down conversion.

چکیده
We report on a momentum-position realization of the EPR paradox using direct detection in the near and far fields of the photons emitted by collinear type-II phase-matched parametric down conversion. Using this approach we achieved a measured two-photon momentum-position variance product of 0.01 variant Planck's over 2pi (2), which dramatically violates the bounds for the EPR and separability criteria.

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox in twin images
Spatially entangled twin photons provide both promising resources for modern quantum information protocols, because of the high dimensionality of transverse entanglement, and a test of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox in its original form of position versus impulsion. Usually, photons in temporal coincidence are selected and their positions recorded, resulting in a priori assumptions o...
متن کاملViolation of continuous-variable Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering with discrete measurements.
In this Letter, we derive an entropic Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering inequality for continuous-variable systems using only experimentally measured discrete probability distributions and details of the measurement apparatus. We use this inequality to witness EPR steering between the positions and momenta of photon pairs generated in spontaneous parametric down-conversion. We examine the ...
متن کاملEntangled Photons and Bell’s Inequality
Christopher Marsh Entanglement is a phenomenon where two particles are linked by some sort of characteristic. A particle such as an electron can be entangled by its spin. Photons can be entangled through its polarization. The aim of this lab is to generate and detect photon entanglement. This was accomplished by subjecting an incident beam to spontaneous parametric down conversion, a process wh...
متن کاملExperimental violation of Bell's inequality in spatial-parity space.
We report the first experimental violation of Bell's inequality in the spatial domain using the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state. Two-photon states generated via optical spontaneous parametric down-conversion are shown to be entangled in the parity of their one-dimensional transverse spatial profile. Superpositions of Bell states are prepared by manipulation of the optical pump's transverse spatia...
متن کاملDemonstrating continuous variable Einstein–Podolsky– Rosen steering in spite of finite experimental capabilities using Fano steering bounds
Received October 30, 2014; revised January 22, 2015; accepted January 27, 2015; posted January 29, 2015 (Doc. ID 225865); published February 24, 2015 We show how one can demonstrate continuous-variable Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering without needing to characterize entire measurement probability distributions. To do this, we develop a modified Fano inequality useful for discrete measurem...
