Abstract

Schmidt modes of non-collinear biphoton angular wave functions are found analytically. The experimentally realizable procedure for their separation is described. Parameters of the Schmidt decomposition are used to evaluate the degree of the biphoton's angular entanglement.

Azimuthal entanglement and multimode schmidt decompositions for noncollinear biphotons

Mikhail Vladimirovich Fedorov

Noncollinear biphoton states are found to possess a very high degree of azimuthal entanglement with typical values of ~10 4 for Schmidt parameter K (the ratio of the pump wavelength to its waist). A scheme that provides conditions for Schmidt-type mode separation and multichannel Schmidt-type decomposition is proposed for the partial use of this enormous high-entanglement resource.

Azimuthal entanglement and multichannel Schmidt-type decomposition of noncollinear biphotons

Mikhail Vladimirovich Fedorov

Purely azimuthal entanglement is analyzed for noncollinear frequency-degenerate biphoton states. The degree of azimuthal entanglement is found to be very high, with the Schmidt parameter $K$ on the order of the ratio of the pump waist to its wavelength. A scheme is suggested for partial realization of this high entanglement resource in the form of a multichannel Schmidt-type decomposition.

The Schmidt modes of biphoton qutrits: Poincaré-sphere representation

Maria V. Chekhova, M V Fedorov

For a general-form polarization biphoton qutrit, physically corresponding to a pair of arbitrarily polarized photons in a single frequency and wavevector mode, we explicitly find polarization Schmidt modes. A simple method is suggested for factorizing the state vector and the explicit expressions for the factorizing photon creation operators are found. The degrees of entanglement and polarization of a qutrit are shown to depend directly on the commutation features of the factorizing operators. Clear graphic representations for the Stokes vectors of the qutrit state as a whole, its Schmidt modes and factorizing single-photon creation operators are given based on the Poincaré sphere. An experimental scheme is proposed for measuring the parameters of the Schmidt decomposition as well as for demonstrating the operational meaning of qutrit entanglement.

Dealing with entanglement of continuous variables: Schmidt decomposition with discrete sets of orthogonal functions

Lamata, L, León, J

We propose a new method for obtaining the Schmidt decomposition of bipartite systems with continuous variables. It approximates the modes to the prescribed accuracy by well known orthogonal functions. We give some criteria for the control of errors. We illustrate the method comparing its results with the already published analysis for entanglement of biphotons. The agreement is excellent.
