Bell State Generation and Pump Filtering Using Inhomogeneously Poled Nonlinear Waveguides

Abstract

We show that special domain poling patterns in arrays of coupled nonlinear waveguides can allow shaping of the photon pair wavefunction produced by down-conversion. This allows pump filtering and the reconfigurable generation of Bell states.

Generation of photons with all-optically-reconfigurable entanglement in integrated nonlinear waveguides

James Titchener, Alexander S. Solntsev, Andrey A. Sukhorukov

We predict that all-optically-reconfigurable generation of photon pairs with tailored spatial entanglement can be realized via spontaneous parametric down conversion in integrated nonlinear coupled waveguides. The required elements of the output quantum wave function are directly mapped from the amplitudes and phases of the classical laser pump inputs in each waveguide. This is achieved through special nonuniform domain poling, which locally inverts the sign of quadratic nonlinear susceptibility and accordingly shapes the interference of biphoton quantum states generated along the waveguides. We demonstrate a device configuration for the generation of any linear combination of two-photon Bell states.

Bell states generation with spatial pump filtering in nonlinear adiabatic waveguiding structures

Che Wen Wu, Alexander S. Solntsev, Dragomir N. Neshev +1 more

We propose a novel integrated scheme for the generation of Bell states, which allows simultaneous spatial filtering of pump photons. It is achieved through spontaneous parametric down-conversion in the system of nonlinear adiabatically coupled waveguides. We also demonstrate that the adiabatic couplers open the possibility to maintain the purity of generated Bell states in a relatively fabrication-fault-tolerant way.

We develop a novel integrated scheme for on-chip generation of Bell states, which allows simultaneous spatial filtering of pump photons. It is achieved through spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a system of nonlinear adiabatically coupled waveguides. Importantly, the adiabatic couplers maintain the purity of generated Bell states in a relatively fabrication-fault-tolerant way.
