Generation of entanglement between frequency bands by nonlinear fiber propagation and spectral pulse shaping

Abstract

A novel fiber-based scheme for generating quadrature entanglement between a specific pair of frequency bands is proposed. The scheme is based on use of a nonlinear fiber, a spectral pulse shaper, and an adaptive feedback loop. It is numerically predicted that at least -5 dB of the quadrature entanglement will be created by preparation of an appropriate initial phase spectrum. Optimal control of the four-wave mixing terms of the Kerr Hamiltonian is crucial for improvement of the entanglement.

The optimization control of soliton squeezing in nonlinear fibers using a pulse shaper and a spectral filter

Daisuke Fujishima, Masahiro Takeoka, Fumihiko Kannari

Summary form only given. Quantum entanglement and other related effects with bright squeezed fields have attracted a great interest since it does not need the few quanta system. We propose the novel adaptive system for optimization of the initial pulse waveform to obtain desired intermode quantum structures, and numerically evaluated its feasibilities. We show the experimental setup for the proposed system. The (classically) shaped pulses are propagated through a nonlinear fiber and the quantum state information of these pulses is detected after spectral filtering. The detected information is fed back to the pulse shaper with an optimization algorithm, and thus we can find out the optimum initial waveform. for obtaining the desired quantum structure.

Control of quantum correlation among frequency modes of ultrashort pulses via optical fiber nonlinearity and pulse shaping

H. Furumochi, Kimihisa Ohno, Masataka Nakazawa +1 more

Fiber-based schemes for controlling quantum correlation between frequency bands of an ultrashort pulse to generate photon-number squeezing are studied. By employing a microstructured fiber of which zero-dispersion wavelength is 820 nm, significantly large photon-number squeezing of –4.6 dB is obtained without shaping an input pulse. Influence of spatio-temporal coupling at the pulse shaper on the control of quantum correlation is discussed.

Towards generation of hybrid entangled photon pairs by spectrally overlapping intermodal-vectorial four-wave mixing bands in optical fibers

Andrzej Gawlik, Marta Bernaś, Kinga Żołnacz +1 more

Optical fiber-based sources of photon pairs with hybrid entanglement across multiple degrees of freedom are essential for a wide range of quantum technologies, while remaining compatible with existing communication networks. In this paper, we use a birefringent few-mode fiber to demonstrate an intermodal-vectorial four-wave mixing process that generates two pairs of spectrally overlapping signal-idler bands. Using phase-matching conditions, we show that the pairs of bands become spectrally indistinguishable when the group refractive indices of the signal and idler modes intersect at the pump wavelength. Our theoretical predictions are confirmed through experimental observations and corroborated by numerical simulations. Furthermore, we introduce the two-photon state associated with the overlapping bands, which simultaneously exhibits entanglement in a single degree of freedom and hybrid entanglement across multiple degrees of freedom. We also explain how the type and degree of entanglement can be controlled by tailoring the spectral overlap between the signal-idler bands. This study presents a promising scheme for a fiber-based source of photon pairs with entanglement spanning the spatial, polarization, and frequency degrees of freedom.

Optimization of ultrashort-pulse squeezing by spectral filtering with the Fourier pulse-shaping technique

Masahiro Takeoka, Daisuke Fujishima, Fumihiko Kannari

We propose an adaptive waveform-control approach to optimize photon-number squeezing by the nonlinear fiber spectral filtering method. More than -8-dB squeezing of the sech envelope pulse is numerically predicted when the spectral phase is modulated before the pulse is sent to a fiber. The quantum cross correlations of the photon-number fluctuation become uniformly negative when the pulse is optimally shaped.
