Abstract

We demonstrate distribution of polarization entanglement over 100 km in a WDM environment. Two-photon interference with visibility >90% is observed in coincidence detection of photon-pairs that have traveled with classical data signals, one on adjacent channel.

Generation and distribution of quantum entanglement in the telecom band with standard optical fiber

X. Li, Paul L. Voss, Jay E. Sharping +2 more

Polarization entangled photon pairs are produced by pumping the nonlinear-fiber Sagnac interferometer with orthogonally-polarized pulses. Parametrically scattered signal-idler photons yield biphoton interference with visibility greater than 95% in coincidence. When signal-idler photon pairs are physically propagated over 25 km of standard optical fiber, the quantum correlation is preserved.

Entanglement distribution over 300 km of fiber

We report the distribution of time-bin entangled photon pairs over 300 km of optical fiber. We realized this by using a high-speed and high signal-to-noise ratio entanglement generation/evaluation setup that consists of periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides and superconducting single photon detectors. The observed two-photon interference fringes exhibited a visibility of 84%. We confirmed the violation of Bell's inequality by 2.9 standard deviations.

Distribution of polarization-entangled photonpairs produced via spontaneous parametric down-conversion within a local-area fiber network: Theoretical model and experiment

Han Chuen Lim, Akio Yoshizawa, Hidemi Tsuchida +1 more

We present a theoretical model for the distribution of polarization-entangled photon-pairs produced via spontaneous parametric down-conversion within a local-area fiber network. This model allows an entanglement distributor who plays the role of a service provider to determine the photon-pair generation rate giving highest two-photon interference fringe visibility for any pair of users, when given user-specific parameters. Usefulness of this model is illustrated in an example and confirmed in an experiment, where polarization-entangled photon-pairs are distributed over 82 km and 132 km of dispersion-managed optical fiber. Experimentally observed visibilities and entanglement fidelities are in good agreement with theoretically predicted values.

Wavelength-Selective Distribution of Polarization Entanglement over Deployed Fiber

We demonstrate distribution of polarization entangled photon-pairs across multiple channels in a 6 km loop of deployed fiber. We use an all-optical networking switch to route Bell-state photons in three different wavelength pairs and verify entanglement distribution in all channel pairs by measuring two-photon interference fringes.

Narrowband polarization-entangled photon pairs distributed over a WDM link for qubit networks

A brighter, more narrowband and portable source using two 50 mm long orthogonally oriented, quasi-phase-matched crystals is built. The new source generates polarization-entangled photon pairs at 809 nm and 1555 nm at a maximum rate of 1.2 x 106s-1THz-1mW-1after coupling to single-mode fiber. For transmission experiments, the quantum and synchronization channels are multiplexed in a WDM environment, and with only 0.8 nm spacing between them, a detected rate of 1.1 x 103 s-1photon pairs is achieved with a raw visibility of 85 % in all measurement bases after transmission over 27 km of single mode fiber. With the current isolation of about 100 dB achieved between channels, the quantum channel could even be multiplexed with a classical data channel.
