Abstract

We propose a scheme for direct generation of photon pairs exhibiting hybrid entanglement between spatial mode and polarization degrees of freedom in a lithium niobate channel waveguide through a spontaneous parametric down conversion process.

Geneartion of higher dimensional modal entanglement using a three waveguide directional coupler

Divya Bharadwaj, Krishnan Thyagarajan, Michał Karpiński +1 more

In this paper, we propose a method for the generation of higher dimensional modal entanglement through type II spontaneous parametric down conversion process using a three waveguide directional coupler in a periodically poled lithium niobate substrate. We show that by a proper design, it is possible to achieve an output state of two photons occupying three different spatial modes. The advantage of using such waveguide structure is its flexibility and the design space availability to achieve desired characteristics of the photon pairs generated in the down conversion process

Direct generation of hybrid entangled photon pairs in waveguides

Divya Bharadwaj, Krishnan Thyagarajan

In this paper, we propose a scheme for direct generation of hybrid spatial modal–polarization entangled photon pairs using a type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion process and the electro-optic effect in a domain engineered potassium titanyl phosphate nonlinear waveguide. Such hybrid entangled states must find applications in quantum information processing using integrated photonic circuits.

Generation of hyperentangled photon pairs based on lithium niobate waveguide

Yang-He 洋河 Chen 陈, Zhen 震 Jiang 姜, Guangqiang He

Generation of hyperentangled photon pairs is investigated based on the lithium niobate straight waveguide. We propose to use the nonlinear optical process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) and a well-designed lithium niobate waveguide structure to generate a hyperentangled (in the polarization dimension and the energy-time dimension) two-photon state. By performing numerical simulations of the waveguide structure and calculating the possible polarization states, joint spectral amplitudes (JSA), and joint temporal amplitudes (JTA) of the generated photon pair, we show that the generated photon pair is indeed hyperentangled in both the polarization dimension and the energy-time dimension.

Photon-pair generation using inverse-designed thin-film lithium niobate mode converters

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) generates entangled photon pairs. We employ modal phase matching in a straight waveguide with an inverse-designed mode converter. This approach significantly improves SPDC efficiency compared to a waveguide without a converter.
