Generation of hyper-entanglement in polarization/energy-time and discrete-frequency/energy-time in optical fibers

چکیده
In this paper, a generation scheme for telecom band hyper-entanglement is proposed and demonstrated based on the vector spontaneous four wave mixing (SFWM) processes in optical fibers. Two kinds of two-photon states are generated, one is hyper-entangled in the degree of freedoms (DOFs) of energy-time and polarization, the other is hyper-entangled in DOFs of energy-time and discrete-frequency. Experiments of Franson-type interference, two-photon interference under non-orthogonal polarization bases and spatial quantum beating are realized to demonstrate the entanglement in energy-time, polarization and frequency, respectively. This scheme provides a simple way to realize telecom band hyper-entanglement, which has potential for large geographic-scale applications of quantum communication and quantum information over optical fibers.

Photon-pair generation in optical fibers through four-wave mixing: Role of Raman scattering and pump polarization
We present a general quantum theory capable of describing photon statistics under the combined effects of four-wave mixing and Raman scattering inside optical fibers. Our theory is vectorial in nature and includes all polarization effects. Our analysis shows that spontaneous Raman scattering degrades the pair correlation in all cases but the extent of degradation depends on the pumping configur...
متن کاملQuantum Information Processing and Precise Optical Measurement with Hyper-entangled Quantum States
A pair of photons generated in the nonlinear process of spontaneous parametric down conversion is, in general, entangled so as to contain strong energy, time, polarization, and momentum quantum correlations. This entanglement involving more than one pair of quantum variable, known as hyper-entanglement, serves as a powerful tool in fundamental studies of foundations of the quantum theory, in th...

Quantum key distribution ~QKD! has been studied extensively as a means to realize unconditionally secure communication systems. Two legal parties ~Alice and Bob! create a secret key, security of which against eavesdropping is guaranteed by the law of quantum mechanics, and use it as a one-time pad for encrypting messages. Following the first proposal that used four nonorthogonal states @Benneet...
متن کاملAngular Dependence of the Second Harmonic Generation Induced by Femtosecond Laser Irradiation in Silica-Based Glasses: Variation with Writing Speed and Pulse Energy
To control second harmonic generation (SHG) in silica-based glasses is crucial for fabricating photonic devices, such as frequency doubling waveguides. Here, we investigated SHG of laser induced nonlinear optical crystals in silica-based glasses, according to writing speed and pulse energy. We observed two regions with different probing laser polarization angular dependence: a) a well-defined c...
