Abstract

We present measurements of photon correlations and Bell’s inequalities of photons generated in a rubidium vapor cell with four-wave mixing using a diamond configuration that includes the 5s, 5p and 6s levels.

Strong quantum correlations in four wave mixing in85Rb vapor

Quentin C. Glorieux, Luca Guidoni, S. Guibal +2 more

We study quantum intensity correlations produced using four-wave mixing in a room-temperature rubidium vapor cell. An extensive study of the effect of the various parameters allows us to observe very large amounts of non classical correlations.

Quantum Correlated Photon-Pairs From Warm Rb-Vapor

Prathamesh S. Donvalkar, Chaitali Joshi, Sven Ramelow +1 more

Using a diamond scheme in warm Rb-vapor, we generate quantum-correlated photon-pairs by spontaneous four-wave mixing. Using a Rb-filled photonic-band gap fiber, this system could achieve pair generation efficiencies of 10−3 pairs/input photon.

Light Entanglement via Four Wave Mixing through a Rubidium Vapor Cell

Haley Bauser

Light entanglement holds the potential for quantum telecommunication and quan- tum computing. The goal of the project is to produce a pair of polarization-entangled light fields using Four Wave Mixing (FWM) in hot Rb vapor. In this process interaction of atoms with near-resonant strong control optical field results in strong amplification of a probe optical field and in generation of a quantum correlated conjugate Stokes opti- cal field. The optimum parameters for FWM have been established. Through analysis of the noise, the RF settings allowing for experimental quantum noise to match the shot noise has been confirmed as well. After establishing the shot noise limit, there were many trials to achieve noise lower than the shot noise. To further improve the noise and thus establish the quantum correlation between our fields, we switched from a single laser to a double laser setup. In the future, the quantum correlation between the Stokes field and the probe field will be further improved to allow for the entangled Bell states creation.

Experimental characterization of quantum correlated triple beams generated by cascaded four-wave mixing processes

Zhongzhong Qin, Leiming Cao, Jietai Jing

Quantum correlations and entanglement shared among multiple modes are fundamental ingredients of most continuous-variable quantum technologies. Recently, a method used to generate multiple quantum correlated beams using cascaded four-wave mixing (FWM) processes was theoretically proposed and experimentally realized by our group [Z. Qin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 023602 (2014)]. Our study of triple-beam quantum correlation paves the way to showing the tripartite entanglement in our system. Our system also promises to find applications in quantum information and precision measurement such as the controlled quantum communications, the generation of multiple quantum correlated images, and the realization of a multiport nonlinear interferometer. For its applications, the degree of quantum correlation is a crucial figure of merit. In this letter, we experimentally study how various parameters, such as the cell temperatures, one-photon, and two-photon detunings, influence the degree of quantum correlation between the triple beams generated from the cascaded two-FWM configuration.
