Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a novel scheme for the generation of polarization entanglement from spatially correlated photon pairs generated by parametric down-conversion. Using the state, we also demonstrate the violation of Bell's inequality.

Polarization entanglement of photons provides a superior environment to demonstrate quantum info-communication protocols. Thus far, several methods using parametric down-conversion process have been realized to generate polarization-entangled photon pairs. In this report, we propose a novel method to generate polarization entanglement from spatially correlated photon pairs and demonstrate its experimental verification.

Generation of polarization entanglement from spatially correlated photons in spontaneous parametric down-conversion

We propose a scheme to generate polarization entanglement from spatially correlated photon pairs. We experimentally realized a scheme by means of a spatial correlation effect in a spontaneous parametric down-conversion and a modified Michelson interferometer. The scheme we propose in this paper can be interpreted as a conversion process from spatial correlation to polarization entanglement.

Experimental Observation of Four-Photon Entanglement from Parametric Down-Conversion

Manfred Eibl, Sascha Gaertner, Mohamed Bourennane +3 more

We observe polarization entanglement between four photons produced from a single down-conversion source. The nonclassical correlations between the measurement results violate a generalized Bell inequality for four qubits. The characteristic properties and its easy generation with high interferometric contrast make the observed four-photon state well suited for implementing advanced quantum communication schemes such as multiparty quantum key distribution, secret sharing, and telecloning.

Experimental conversion of position correlation into polarization entanglement

Chithrabhanu Perumangatt, Alexander Lohrmann, Alexander Ling

This paper presents a method to convert position correlation of photon pairs into polarization entanglement. This is achieved by individually manipulating the polarization state of photons generated in different parts of a nonlinear medium and coherently superposing them. This concept is experimentally demonstrated using photon pairs produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The method is used to implement a compact source producing an observed photon-pair rate of $120\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}000\phantom{\rule{4.pt}{0ex}}{\text{s}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}/\text{mW}$ with an entanglement fidelity of $0.991\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.013$. This method can be extended to any photon-pair generation process with initial position correlation.

Conversion of position correlation into polarization entanglement

Chithrabhanu Perumangatt, Alexander Lohrmann, Alexander Ling

The photon pairs generated by parametric down conversion of a laser beam have inherent position and momentum correlations. We generate polarization entangled photons by manipulating the position correlations using a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer containing a wedge mirror. The polarization entangled photon pairs exhibit strong quantum correlations and high brightness.
