Tomographic reconstruction of time-bin-entangled qudits

Samantha J. Nowierski, Neal N. Oza, Prem Kumar +1 more

We describe an experimental implementation to generate and measure high-dimensional time-bin-entangled qudits. Two-photon time-bin entanglement is generated via spontaneous four-wave mixing in single-mode fiber. Unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometers transform selected time bins to polarization entanglement, allowing standard polarization-projective measurements to be used for complete quantum state tomographic reconstruction. Here we generate maximally entangled qubits $(d=2)$, qutrits $(d=3)$, and ququarts $(d=4)$, as well as other phase-modulated nonmaximally entangled qubits and qutrits. We reconstruct and verify all generated states using maximum-likelihood estimation tomography.

Single-photon time-encoded ebits: remote preparation and homodyne tomography characterization

Milena D’Angelo, Alessandro Zavatta, Valentina Parigi +1 more

We present a review of our recent studies concerning remotely prepared entangled bits (ebits) made of a single photon coherently delocalized between two well-separated temporal modes (or time bins). The preparation scheme represents a remotely tunable source for tailoring arbitrary ebits, whether maximally or non-maximally entangled, which is highly desirable for applications in quantum information technology. The remotely prepared ebit is analyzed by performing both single-mode and two-mode homodyne tomography with the ultra-fast balanced homodyne detection scheme recently developed in our lab. Beside the non-classical behavior typical of single-photon Fock states (negative values around the origin), the reconstructed two-mode Wigner function is found to be characterized by an intriguing phase and by correlations between the two distant time bins sharing the single photon.
