Abstract

Based on a recent proposal [Phys. Rev. A 71, 062337 (2005)], we have experimentally realized two-photon polarization qutrits by using nonmaximally entangled states and linear optical transformations. By this technique, high-fidelity mutually unbiased qutrits are generated at a high brilliance level.

We generate and reconstruct two-photon, 100-ps-separated time-bin-entangled qutrit states. By pairwise mapping time bins onto orthogonal polarizations, we perform a tomography and demonstrate high fidelity to maximally entangled qutrit states

Realization of Hyperentangled Two-Photon States

We report on the experimental realization of hyperentangled two-photon states, entangled in polarization and momentum. These states are produced by a high-brilliance parametric source of entangled photon pairs with peculiar characteristics of flexibility in terms of state generation. The quality of the entanglement in the two degrees of freedom has been tested by multimode Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry.

Experimental realization of entangled qutrits for quantum communication

We have experimentally realized a technique to generate, control and measure entangled qutrits, 3-dimensional quantum systems. This scheme uses spontaneous parametric down converted photons and unbalanced 3-arm fiber optic interferometers in a scheme analogous to the Franson interferometric arrangement for qubits. The results reveal a source capable of generating maximally entangled states with a net state fidelity, F = 0.985 $\pm$ 0.018. Further the control over the system reveals a high, net, 2-photon interference fringe visibility, V = 0.919 $\pm$ 0.026. This has all been done at telecom wavelengths thus facilitating the advancement towards long distance higher dimensional quantum communication.

Detection of Entanglement with Polarized Photons: Experimental Realization of an Entanglement Witness

Marco Barbieri, F. De Martini, G. Di Nepi +3 more

We report on the first experimental realization of an entanglement witness, a method to detect entanglement with few local measurements. The present demonstration has been performed with polarized photons in Werner states, a well-known family of mixed states that can be either separable or nonseparable. The Werner states are generated by a novel high brilliance source of bipartite entangled states by which the state mixedness can be easily adjusted.

This scheme uses spontaneous parametric down converted photons and unbalanced 3-arm fiber optic interferometers in a scheme analogous to the Franson interferometric arrangement for qubits. The results reveal a source capable of generating maximally entangled states with a net state fidelity, F = 0.985 ±\pm± 0.018. Further the control over the system reveals a high, net, 2-photon interference fringe visibility, V = 0.919 ±\pm± 0.026.
