Abstract

We use single-photon path-entangled states combined with a novel displacement-based detection scheme to demonstrate loop-hole-free quantum steering, opening the way towards implementations of device-independent quantum protocols within the paradigm of path entanglement.

Combining Photonic Sources to Produce Entanglement

Virginia O. Lorenz

We investigate creation of entanglement by merging two photon-pair sources using interferometers that optimize spatial and temporal overlap, erasing ‘which-path’ information without intrinsic loss, a crucial feature for loop-hole free tests and various quantum protocols.

Single photon path entangled states for quantum communication

Do Rego Monteiro, Fernando Henrique

The main work done along my PhD is related to entangled states composed of a single photon. This state generation requires fewer resources when compared to other entangled states generation. Moreover, it's easily scaled to multipartite scenarios and is also robust to setup inefficiencies of quantum repeaters. Our first work with this state was related to its generation and detection, encouraging us to pursue more evidences that this state is useful for quantum communication. The following project was related to demonstrate how this state can be used in a semi-device independent scenario. Our last project regards the use of a heralded photon amplifier that is intended to compensate the loss that is present during state distribution. All these advances makes us confident that this kind of state can find its application in quantum communication, and also encourage us to pursue new practical implementations such as device independent quantum key distribution.

Quantum Communication Protocols Based on Hybrid Entanglement of Light

Giovanni Guccione, Adrien Cavaillès, Tom Darras +4 more

Hybrid entanglement of light combines two quantum information paradigms, the particle-like and the wave-like encodings, together. We report on recent experiments that engage this resource for two quantum communication protocols: remote state preparation and quantum steering.

Detection Loophole Free Quantum Steering with photons

Quantum steering allows the verification of shared entanglement even with an untrusted measurement device. We show the first photonic “detection loophole free” violation of a steering inequality by 48 standard deviations.

Demonstration of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering Using Single-Photon Path Entanglement and Displacement-Based Detection

Thiago Guerreiro, F. Monteiro, Anthony Martin +15 more

We demonstrate the violation of an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering inequality developed for single-photon path entanglement with displacement-based detection. We use a high-rate source of heralded single-photon path-entangled states, combined with high-efficiency superconducting-based detectors, in a scheme that is free of any postselection and thus immune to the detection loophole. This result conclusively demonstrates single-photon entanglement in a one-sided device-independent scenario, and opens the way towards implementations of device-independent quantum technologies within the paradigm of path entanglement.

Photonic quantum information processing beyond single-photon qubits

Hyunseok Jeong

In this talk, I will discuss several schemes for all-optical quantum information processing that have been developed to overcome formidable limitations of the well-known approaches based on single-photon qubits and continuous-variable states.
