Coherence interpretation of the noninterfering Sagnac-based quantum correlation

Abstract

Bell inequality violation is a quantitative measurement tool for quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement is the heart of quantum information science, in which the resulting nonlocal correlation between remotely separated photons shows a unique property of quantum mechanics. Here, the role of coincidence detection is coherently investigated for the nonlocal correlation in a simple polarization-basis selective non-interferometric system using entangled photon pairs (Phys. Rev. A 73, 012316 (2006)). The resulting nonlocal quantum feature between two independent local polarizers is coherently derived for the joint-parameter relation of the inseparable intensity product. The resulting coherence solution based on the wave nature of quantum mechanics is thus understood as a deterministic process via coincidence detection-caused measurement modification.

Coherence interpretations of nonlocal quantum correlation based on a quantum eraser

Byoung Seung HAM

Abstract Bell inequality violation is a quantitative measurement tool of quantum entanglement between space-like separated particles. Quantum entanglement is the heart of quantum information science, in which the resulting nonlocal correlation between the paired particles is a unique property of quantum mechanics. Over the last few decades, intensive research has been conducted to understand nonlocal quantum features based on the particle nature of quantum mechanics. Here, the role of coincidence detection is analyzed in a simple interferometer using a quantum eraser. To understand the nonlocal quantum feature, coincidence detection between two output photons of an interferometer is coherently analyzed for Bell inequality violations. Based on this understanding, a classical model of the nonlocal quantum correlation is finally presented using coherent light via wave mixing and heterodyne detection.

Coherence analysis of local randomness and nonlocal correlation through polarization-basis projections of entangled photon pairs

Byoung Seung HAM

Polarization-entangled photon pairs generated from second-order nonlinear optical media have been extensively studied for both fundamental research and potential applications of quantum information. In a spontaneous parametric down-conversion process, quantum entanglement between paired photons, often regarded as 'mysterious,' has been demonstrated for local randomness and nonlocal correlation through polarization-basis projections using linear optics (Phys. Rev. A 60, R773 (1999)). Unlike the conventional particle nature-based perspective, this paper presents a coherence analysis rooted in the wave nature of quantum mechanics to examine these well-established quantum phenomena, incorporating polarization control of the paired photons and their projection measurements. First, we analyze the quantum superposition of photon pairs generated randomly from cross-sandwiched nonlinear media, focusing on local randomness, which depends on the incoherence among measured events. Second, we investigate coincidence detection between paired photons to understand the nonlocal correlation arising from independently controlled remote parameters, resulting in an inseparable product-basis relationship. This coherence-based approach sheds light on a deterministic perspective on quantum features, emphasizing the significance of phase information intrinsic to the wave nature of photons, which is incompatible with the particle nature.

A coherence interpretation of nonlocal correlation

Byoung Seung HAM

Quantum correlation is the keyword in quantum information technologies. Over the last several decades, quantum correlation violating local realism has been intensively studied in various areas, but still left as a mysterious quantum phenomenon. Here, a coherence approach is applied to investigate the fundamental physics of nonlocal quantum correlation for a typical model based on entangled photon pairs without violation of quantum mechanics. As a result, a complete coherence solutions are found for coherent photons via coincidence detection, resulting in a deterministic joint basis relation between space-like separated parties in an inseparable basis-product manner.

Understanding of coincidence detection in Franson-type nonlocal correlations for second-order quantum superposition

Byoung Seung HAM

Coincidence detection is a key technique used in nonlocal quantum-correlation measurements to test Bell inequality violation between remotely separated local detectors. With individual uniform intensity of local measurements, the nonlocal correlation fringe is a mysterious quantum feature that cannot be achieved classically. Here, the coincidence detection is coherently investigated to understand the fundamental physics of the nonlocal correlation fringe via second-order quantum superposition between selected nonlocal measurement events. Because of the coherence feature of paired photons, the coincidence technique modifies the measurement events for the rule of thumb of indistinguishability between selected measurement bases of paired photons. This indistinguishability is quantum superposition between nonlocally detected events resulting from a selected time slot of coincidence, where coherence between individually measured photons is an absolute condition.

Coherently excited nonlocal quantum features using polarization-frequency correlation between quantum erasers

Byoung Seung HAM

Abstract Photon indistinguishability is an essential concept to understanding “mysterious” quantum features from the viewpoint of the wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics. The physics of indistinguishability lies in the manipulation of quantum superposition between orthonormal bases of a single photon such as in a quantum eraser. Here, a pure coherence approach is applied for the nonlocal correlation based on the polarization-frequency correlation of Poisson-distributed coherent photon pairs to investigate the role of quantum measurements. For this, a gated heterodyne-detection technique is adopted for coincidence measurements between space-like separated delayed-choice quantum erasers, resulting in an inseparable basis product between them. Thus, the mysterious quantum correlation is coherently understood via a tensor-product modification for the second-order quantum superposition. Finally, the Bell inequality violation is numerically confirmed for the derived coherence solutions of the nonlocal correlation.

Wave nature-based nonlocal correlation via projection measurements between space-like separated interferometric systems

Byoung Seung HAM

Indistinguishability in quantum mechanics is an essential concept to understanding mysterious quantum features such as self-interference of a single photon and two-photon nonlocal correlation. Delayed-choice experiments are for the cause-effect violation via post-measurements of photons in an interferometric system. Recently, a macroscopic version of the delayed-choice experiments has been demonstrated using the classical means of Poisson distributed photons in a noninterfering Mach-Zehnder interferometer (NMZI). Here, a coherence version of the nonlocal correlation is presented using the wave nature of photons in space-like separated orthogonally polarized NMZIs. For this, polarization-basis projections of the pair of NMZI output photons onto a set of polarizers are measured coincidently, where each output photon comprises orthogonal polarization bases. Because of the coherence feature of the output photons via coincidence detection, a phase sensitive nonlocal correlation is achieved. As a result, indistinguishability limited to a single or entangled photon pairs needs to be reconsidered with basis (polarization) randomness for the nonlocal correlation.
