Preservation of entanglement in a slow light medium

Abstract

We demonstrate the preservation of entanglement of an energy-time entangled biphoton through a slow light medium. After delay of one photon by ~1.3 correlation lengths, the 1.3 THz biphoton still violates a Bell inequality.

Preservation of Energy-Time Entanglement in a Slow Light Medium

Curtis J. Broadbent, Ryan M. Camacho, Ran Xin +1 more

We demonstrate the preservation of entanglement of an energy-time entangled biphoton through a slow light medium. Using the D(1) and D(2) fine structure resonances of Rubidium, we delay one photon of the 1.5 THz biphoton by approximately 1.3 correlation lengths and measure the fourth order correlation fringes. After the group delay the fringe visibility is reduced from 97.0+/-4.4% to 80.0+/-4.8%, but is still sufficient to violate a Bell inequality. We show that temporal broadening is the primary mechanism for reducing the fringe visibility and that smaller bandwidths lead to greatly reduced broadening.

Slow Light with Fourth Order Fields

Curtis J. Broadbent, Praveen K. Vudyasetu, Ryan M. Camacho +2 more

We demonstrate experimentally the preservation of entanglement between delayed and non-delayed members of energy-time entangled biphotons, as well as the preservation of fourth order temporal coherence of thermal light with a delayed version of itself.

Slow Images and Entangled Photons

Simon P. Swordy

I will discuss some recent experiments using slow light and entangled photons. We recently showed that it was possible to map a two dimensional image onto very low light level signals, slow them down in a hot atomic vapor while preserving the amplitude and phase of the images. If time remains, I will discuss some of our recent work with time-energy entangled photons for quantum cryptography. We were able to show that we could have a measurable state space of over 1000 states for a single pair of entangled photons in fiber.

Quantum interference and entanglement of photons that do not overlap in time

Ralph Wiegner, C. Thiel, Joachim von Zanthier +1 more

We discuss the possibility of quantum interferences and entanglement of photons that exist at different intervals of time, i.e., one photon being recorded before the other has been created. The corresponding two-photon correlation function is shown to violate Bell's inequalities.

Generation of biphotons with controllable temporal length

Chinmay Belthangady, Shengwang Du, Pavel Kolchin +2 more

We report the generation of time-energy entangled paired photons with subnatural linewidths and controllable temporal lengths. The photons are generated using EIT and slow light in a high optical depth two-dimensional MOT.
