Abstract

We have deterministically generated tripartite polarization entangled optical fields by means of three optical parametric amplifiers and beam splitters, and investigated interaction between non-classical light and atomic ensembles for quantum networks.

Experimental generation of tripartite polarization entangled states of bright optical beams

Liang Wu, Zhihui Yan, Yanhong Liu +4 more

The multipartite polarization entangled states of bright optical beams directly associating with the spin states of atomic ensembles are one of the essential resources in the future quantum information networks, which can be conveniently utilized to transfer and convert quantum states across a network composed of many atomic nodes. In this letter, we present the experimental demonstration of tripartite polarization entanglement described by Stokes operators of optical field. The tripartite entangled states of light at the frequency resonant with D1 line of Rubidium atoms are transformed into the continuous variable polarization entanglement among three bright optical beams via an optical beam splitter network. The obtained entanglement is confirmed by the extended criterion for polarization entanglement of multipartite quantized optical modes.

Direct production of three-color polarization entanglement for continuous variable

Zhihui Yan, Xiaojun Jia

The direct generation of discrete-variable three-photon polarization entanglement has been recently demonstrated [Nat. Photonics8, 801 (2014)10.1038/nphoton.2014.218NPAHBY1749-4885]. Here, we propose a feasible scheme to generate continuous-variable (CV) three-color polarization entangled states of light in a deterministic way. The method initially prepares a tripartite quadrature entanglement based on two cascaded nondegenerate optical parametric oscillators. The entangled modes are then coupled, respectively, with three strong coherent optical beams on polarized beam splitters, leading to the generation of the three-color CV polarization entanglement. The polarization entanglement is then verified by inseparability criterion and positive partial transposition criterion. Additionally, optimal parameters in practical conditions are obtained through numerical simulations, which could provide useful guidance for experimental implementations. The demonstrated CV three-color polarization entanglement is suitable in quantum information processing tasks relying on the direct interaction between spin of atoms and polarization of light.

Entanglement among bright light beams: Creation, structure, sudden death

Alessandro S. Villar, F. A. S. Barbosa, A. S. Coelho +3 more

The possibility to generate multipartite entanglement in the laboratory allows further investigations of the structure of quantum correlations among many parties. We employ the optical parametric oscillator to directly produce three entangled bright beams of light and study their properties. In this tripartite continuous system, we observe a mixture of behaviours common to discrete systems pertaining to both the GHZ and the W classes of tripartite entangled states.

Secure direct communication using the polarization entangled atomic ensembles

Peng Xue, Guang‐Can Guo

We propose a scheme with potential experimental realization to generate 'polarization' entanglement between two atomic ensembles and show one of the applications—a novel secure communication allowing asymptotically key distribution and quasisecure direct communication. The scheme involves laser manipulation of atomic ensembles, adjustable quarter- and half-wave plates, beam splitters, polarizing beam splitters and single-photon detectors, and well fits the status of the current experimental technology.
