Abstract

1.5 μm polarization entanglement generation is experimentally demonstrated utilizing off-the-shelf components based on polarization maintaining all-fiber scheme. Quantum state tomography measurement is performed, achieving an entanglement fidelity of 0.94±0.03, indicating its potential in quantum information.

Generation of Polarization-Entangled Photons in a Standard Polarization-Maintaining Fiber

Virginia O. Lorenz, Bin Fang, Offir Cohen

We demonstrate the capability of standard, commercially available polarization-maintaining fibers (PMFs) to generate polarization-entangled photon-pairs by inserting a PMF source into a Sagnac interferometer. We perform a quantum state tomography to reconstruct the density matrix, yielding, without background subtraction or spectral filtering, a polarization-entangled photon-pair state with 92.37 ± 0.14% fidelity to the maximally entangled Bell state. With its high coupling efficiency into SMFs and ability to produce spectrally uncorrelated photons, we expect this source to be useful for free-space and fiber-based quantum information protocols.

Polarization entanglement over 100 km optical fiber for quantum key distribution

We demonstrate distribution of polarization entangled photons over 100 km of optical fiber. Measurements of the two-photon visibility, without dark count subtraction, have shown that the quantum correlations (raw visibility 89%) allow secure quantum cryptography after 100 km of non-zero dispersion shifted fiber using commercially available single photon detectors. In addition, quantum tomography has revealed little degradation of entangled state indicating minimal loss in fidelity during the transmission.
