Abstract

We investigate the effect of multiple scattering on the telecom wavelength photon-pair. Our findings show that quantum correlation of polarization-entangled photon-pair is better preserved than polarization-correlated photon-pair in multiple scattering processes.

Quantum correlation of fiber-based telecom-band photon pairs through standard loss and random media

Yong Meng Sua, John E. Malowicki, Kim Fook Lee

We study quantum correlation and interference of fiber-based telecom-band photon pairs with one photon of the pair experiencing multiple scattering in a random medium. We measure joint probability of two-photon detection for signal photon in a normal channel and idler photon in a channel, which is subjected to two independent conditions: standard loss (neutral density filter) and random media. We observe that both conditions degrade the correlation of signal and idler photons, and depolarization of the idler photon in random medium can enhance two-photon interference at certain relative polarization angles. Our theoretical calculation on two-photon polarization correlation and interference as a function of mean free path is in agreement with our experiment data. We conclude that quantum correlation of a polarization-entangled photon pair is better preserved than a polarization-correlated photon pair as one photon of the pair scatters through a random medium.

Polarization-based entanglement distribution and swapping at telecom wavelengths

Akio Yoshizawa, Yinghong Xue, Han Chuen Lim +1 more

Our research work related to quantum entanglement in the 1550-nm telecom wavelength band is reviewed. We developed a very stable source of high-quality polarization-entangled photon-pairs, which we used to demonstrate both long-distance and broadband fiber-optic entanglement distribution. Polarization-based entanglement swapping experiment was also performed.

Generation and distribution of quantum entanglement in the telecom band with standard optical fiber

X. Li, Paul L. Voss, Jay E. Sharping +2 more

Polarization entangled photon pairs are produced by pumping the nonlinear-fiber Sagnac interferometer with orthogonally-polarized pulses. Parametrically scattered signal-idler photons yield biphoton interference with visibility greater than 95% in coincidence. When signal-idler photon pairs are physically propagated over 25 km of standard optical fiber, the quantum correlation is preserved.
