Compact Engineering of Path-Entangled Sources from a Monolithic Quadratic Nonlinear Photonic Crystal

Hongming Jin, Ping Xu, Xu‐Feng Luo +6 more

An integrated realization of photonic entangled states becomes an inevitable tendency toward integrated quantum optics. Here we report the compact engineering of steerable photonic path-entangled states from a monolithic quadratic nonlinear photonic crystal. The crystal acts as a coherent beam splitter to distribute photons into designed spatial modes, producing the heralded single-photon and appealing beamlike two-photon path entanglement. We characterize the path entanglement by implementing quantum spatial beating experiments. Such a multifunctional entangled source can be further extended to the high-dimensional fashion and multiphoton level, which paves a desirable way to engineering miniaturized quantum light sources.

We model fiber parametric entangled photon sources for use in quantum key distribution applications. Effects of Raman scattered photons are evaluated and are found to be manageable when appropriately detuned optical filters are employed.

Engineering an ideal indistinguishable photon-pair source for optical quantum information processing

Radhika Rangarajan, Luis Edgar Vicent, Alfred B. U’Ren +1 more

The eventual success of optical quantum information (QI) processing depends critically on the available technologies. Photons produced via the nonlinear process of spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) have now been used in a vast array of experiments in optical quantum computing and long-distance quantum communication. However, almost no source to date has been fully optimized. Here, we describe our progress in engineering an ideal photon-pair source for optical quantum information processing – polarization-entangled photons made indistinguishable by engineering spatio-spectral unentanglement at the source. We present solutions for several key challenges encountered in the development of the indistinguishable source. We expect such a source to directly translate into significantly enhanced QI protocols with higher rates, fidelities and efficiencies.
