Experimental Study of the Decoherence of Biphoton Qutrits

Assaf Shaham, H. S. Eisenberg

Published Jan 1, 2012• 1 citation

Abstract

We have generated various indistinguishable biphoton states, representing quantum trits. Their coherence was controllably changed and fully characterized by two-photon state tomography. Entanglement dynamics of the biphotons has also been studied.

Projection of Two Biphoton Qutrits onto a Maximally Entangled State

Assaf Halevy, E. Megidish, Tomer Shacham +2 more

We propose and demonstrate the projection of two quantum three state systems (qutrits) onto a maximally entangled state. The qutrits are represented by the polarization of biphotons - pairs of indistinguishable photons.

State entanglement of biphoton qutrits and ququarts

Mikhail Vladimirovich Fedorov

Properties of biphoton qutrits and ququarts are characterized with allowance for the demands of the symmetry of wave functions of two-boson states and, in the case of ququarts, for the presence of two independent degrees of freedom (e.g., polarization and frequency) of the photons.

Entanglement of biphoton states: qutrits and ququarts

Mikhail Vladimirovich Fedorov, P. A. Volkov, J. M. Mikhailova +2 more

We investigate, in a general form, entanglement of biphoton qutrits and ququarts, i.e. states formed in the processes of, correspondingly, degenerate and non-degenerate spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Indistinguishability of photons and, for ququarts, joint presence of the frequency and polarization entanglement are fully taken into account. In the case of qutrits, the most general three-parametric families of maximally entangled and non-entangled states are found, and anticorrelation of the degree of entanglement and polarization is shown to occur and to be characterized by a rather simple formula. Biphoton ququarts are shown to be two-qudits with the single-photon Hilbert space dimensionality d =4, which differentiates them significantly from the often used two-qubit model ( d =2). New expressions for entanglement quantifiers of biphoton ququarts are derived and discussed. Rather simple procedures for a direct measurement of the degree of entanglement are described for both qutrits and ququarts.

Entanglement of qutrits and ququarts

Mikhail Vladimirovich Fedorov, P. A. Volkov, J. M. Mikhailova +2 more

We investigate in a general form entanglement of biphoton qutrits and ququarts, i.e. states formed in the processes of collinear and, correspondingly, degenerate and non-degenerate Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion. Indistinguishability of photons and, for ququarts, joint presence of the frequency and and polarization entanglement are fully taken into account. In the case of qutrits the most general 3-parametric families of maximally entangled and non-entangled states are found, and anti-correlation of the degree of entanglement and polarization is shown to occur and to be characterized by a rather simple formula. Biphoton ququarts are shown to be two-qudits with the single-photon Hilbert space dimensionality $d=4$, which differs them significantly from the often used two-qubit model ($d=2$). New expressions for entanglement quantifiers of biphoton ququarts are derived and discussed. Rather simple procedures for a direct measurement of the degree of entanglement are described for both qutrits and ququarts.

Decoherence and Distinguishability in Optical and Atomic Experiments on Quantum Tomography

Aephraim M. Steinberg

I describe recent work in our group on tomography and coherence control in real-world systems, specifically, multi-photon entangled states and ultracold atoms in optical lattices. Near but imperfect indistinguishability complicates tomography in the former case, while inhomogeneous broadening presents challenges in the latter. I present the current status of our work to overcome both problems, and results on tomography of 3-photon states along with pulse-echo studies of decoherence in optical lattices.
