Generation, characterization, and manipulation of fiber-coupled entangled photons

Abstract

Systems for generating, manipulating, and measuring entangled photons are described. Quantum state tomographies are recorded with one of the entangled photons distributed over fiber. A high speed, low loss quantum switch for 1550 nm photons is demonstrated, which can manipulate photons for processing or multiplexing.

The development of high-quality photonic sources of high-dimensional entanglement and techniques for their manipulation is crucial for the advancement of quantum technologies. We present an efficient technique for generating and characterizing high-dimensional spatially entangled two-photon states with a record quality, dimensionality, and measurement speed. We demonstrate how to precisely manipulate such states by tailoring reprogrammable optical circuits in complex scattering media consisting of off-the-shelf multimode fiber and spatial light modulation. Our techniques open a clear pathway for the adoption of high-dimensional quantum states of light in the high-capacity, noise-robust quantum networks of tomorrow.

Low-Loss High-Speed C-Band Fiber-Optic Switch Suitable for Quantum Signals

Kim Fook Lee, Gregory S. Kanter

Quantum signals such as entangled photons are typically at the sub-photon level and, thus, require near noise-less and low-loss components for their manipulation and processing. A common signal-manipulation tool is a 2 × 2 switch, and many applications of quantum switches also require fast switching rates and input signals in the fiber-friendly 1550-nm band. Traditional optical switching technology does not simultaneously meet all the desired metrics for a quantum switch. We demonstrate a low-noise fiber-optic photonic switch based on cross phase modulation that is fast (sub-ns), low loss (<;1 dB), and operates in the 1550-nm wavelength band.
