Frequency-induced phase-tunable polarization-entangled narrowband biphotons

Peng Chen, Xianxin Guo, Chi Shu +2 more

Manipulating polarization entanglement of paired photons is always of great interest for understanding the quantum nature of photons and exploring their applications in quantum information processing and quantum communication. Narrowband biphotons with polarization entanglement are especially important for a quantum network based on efficient photon–atom interactions. In most demonstrated cases, the polarization-entangled states are manipulated through the birefringent effect. In this Letter, we produce narrowband polarization-entangled biphotons from spontaneous four-wave mixing in cold atoms and demonstrate a new method to tune the phase of the polarization entanglement by varying the frequency of one of the classical driving lasers. This is achieved through two-photon interference with a path-exchange symmetry. Our result represents a precision control of polarization entanglement from the frequency domain, and may have promising applications in quantum information and precision measurement.

Excess noise in bandwidth-resource-efficient entanglement distribution

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

In this work, we emphasize the importance of properly designing a bandwidth-resource-efficient entanglement distribution system. In particular, we point out that inappropriate setting of wavelength demultiplexing channel bandwidth with respect to pump spectral width could affect entanglement quality. It is widely known that the photon coherence length can be made longer than pump pulsewidth by narrowband filtering so as to improve photon temporal coherence, however, the excess noise that accompanies narrowband filtering has not been studied. The use of narrowband sources of entangled photon-pairs avoids this problem but one needs to wavelength-multiplex many such narrowband sources in order to implement bandwidth-resource-efficient entanglement distribution. We show how to reduce excess noise while maintaining a high photon temporal coherence for a bandwidth-resource-efficient system that uses broadband sources.
