Triple Quantum Correlations from an Above-Threshold Optical Parametric Oscillator

Abstract

We measured triple quantum correlations between the bright beams in an optical parametric oscillator, operating above threshold. Owing to extra noise in the system, still unaccounted for, tripartite entanglement is yet to be demonstrated.

Bright Entangled Beams from an Above-Threshold Optical Parametric Oscillator

We generated bright entangled beams in an optical parametric oscillator, operating above threshold. Tripartite pump-signal-idler entanglement, all with different frequencies, was also predicted and three-color quantum correlations already measured.

Entanglement and noise in the above-threshold optical parametric oscillator

P. Nussenzveig, K. N. Cassemiro, Alessandro S. Villar +2 more

We review the measurement of entanglement in the above-threshold optical parametric oscillator, an experimental challenge that lasted 17 years. The challenge was in part technical, owing to the difficulty of measuring phase noise, but also related to unexpected noise features that remain unexplained. We describe the experimental strategies used to measure phase noise and to circumvent the "extra" noise. The theoretical prediction of a higher order of entanglement is presented, as well as measurements of bright three-color quantum correlations.

The quest for three-color entanglement: experimental investigation of new multipartite quantum correlations

K. N. Cassemiro, A. S. Villar, M. Martinelli +1 more

We experimentally investigate quadrature correlations between pump, signal, and idler fields in an above-threshold optical parametric oscillator. We observe new quantum correlations among the pump and signal or idler beams, as well as among the pump and a combined quadrature of signal and idler beams. A further investigation of unforeseen classical noise observed in this system is presented, which hinders the observation of the recently predicted tripartite entanglement. In spite of this noise, current results approach the limit required to demonstrate three-color entanglement.

Entanglement and quantum correlations in the optical parametric oscillator above threshold

K. N. Cassemiro, Alessandro S. Villar, Paulo Valente +2 more

We describe several recent experimental studies in the above-threshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Seventeen years after the original prediction, entanglement of the twin beams was experimentally demonstrated in 2005. It was followed by the prediction that the OPO should directly produce tripartite pump-signal-idler entangled beams. We also present experimental quantum correlations among these three fields.

Cauchy-Schwarz characterization of tripartite quantum correlations in an optical parametric oscillator

K. Dechoum, W. S. Marques, Antonio Zelaquett Khoury

We analyze the three-mode correlation properties of the electromagnetic field in a optical parametric oscillator below-threshold. We employ a perturbative expansion of the It\^o equations derived from the positive-P representation of the density matrix. Using the generalized Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, we investigate the genuine quantum nature of the triple correlations between the interacting fields, since in this case continuous-variable entanglement is not detected by the van Loock-Furusawa criterion [Phys. Rev. A 67, 052315 (2003)]. Although not being a necessary condition, these triple correlations are sufficient evidence of tripartite entanglement. Of course, our characterization of the quantum correlations is applicable to non-Gaussian states, which we show to be the case of the optical parametric oscillator below-threshold, provided nonlinear quantum fluctuations are properly taken into account.

Measurement of three-color optical quantum correlations in the above-threshold optical parametric oscillator

K. N. Cassemiro, Alessandro S. Villar, M. Martinelli +1 more

This paper presents an experimental demonstration of three-color quantum correlations between the bright pump, signal, and idler beams produced by an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). This paper shows that the degree of entanglement between the twin beams can be increased by using information from the pump beam.
