Abstract

We demonstrate the generation of high-dimensional time-frequency entangled photon pair states and the preservation of entanglement after transmission across a 42-km telecom fiber by violating a high-dimensional Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering inequality.

Experimental high-dimensional entanglement certification and quantum steering with time-energy measurements

Kai-Chi Chang, Murat Can Sarihan, Erker, Paul +8 more

High-dimensional entanglement provides unique ways of transcending the limitations of current approaches in quantum information processing, quantum communications based on qubits. The generation of time-frequency qudit states offer significantly increased quantum capacities while keeping the number of photons constant, but pose significant challenges regarding the possible measurements for certification of entanglement. Here, we develop a new scheme and experimentally demonstrate the certification of 24-dimensional entanglement and a 9-dimensional quantum steering. We then subject our photon-pairs to dispersion conditions equivalent to the transmission through 600-km of fiber and still certify 21-dimensional entanglement. Furthermore, we use a steering inequality to prove 7-dimensional entanglement in a semi-device independent manner, proving that large chromatic dispersion is not an obstacle in distributing and certifying high-dimensional entanglement and quantum steering. Our approach, leveraging intrinsic large-alphabet nature of telecom-band photons, enables scalable, commercially viable, and field-deployable entangled and steerable quantum sources, providing a pathway towards fully scalable quantum information processer and high-dimensional quantum communication networks.

Arbitrarily loss-tolerant Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering allowing a demonstration over 1 km of optical fiber with no detection loophole

Adam Bennet, D. A. Evans, D. J. Saunders +4 more

EPR-steering is a nonclassical effect which allows one party to verify that he shares entanglement with another party. Using new, arbitrarily loss-tolerant tests, we demonstrate detection-loophole-free EPR-steering with entangled photon pairs.

Efficient distribution of high-dimensional entanglement through 11 km fiber

Xiao‐Min Hu, Wen-Bo Xing, Bi‐Heng Liu +8 more

High-dimensional entanglement enriches our understanding of entanglement and shows many advantages in quantum communications tasks, so its long-distance distribution is a key technology. Here, we use multicore fiber to distribute four-dimensional (4D) entanglement over 11 km. The observed fidelity is F = 0.921 ± 0.001 , which is feasible for high-dimensional quantum networks. We observed the violation of high-dimensional Bell inequality ( I 4 = 2.635 ± 0.014 ) and steering inequality ( S 4 = 1.900 ± 0.003 ) for a 4D system over a distance of 11 km and finally demonstrated 4D quantum key distribution based on entanglement in proof of principle. Our work provides an experimental platform for high-dimensional quantum technologies and enables the intracity high-dimensional quantum network.

Optical Experiments on Shared Quantum Correlations

Adam Bennet

Shared quantum correlations find application in a wide range of modern quantum information protocols. This thesis presents several optical experiments towards the improved certification of shared quantum correlations, using photonic qubits. The first experiment demonstrates the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering effect with no detection loophole. Polarisation–entangled photon pairs generated in a Sagnac interferometer were used to test new loss–tolerant EPR steering inequalities. To test the robustness of the loss–tolerant EPR steering nequalities, a transmission loss of −4.3dB was introduced using a 1km optical fibre loop, finding inequality violations for n = 10 and n = 16 measurement settings with no detection loophole (equating to a total loss of 87%). The findings demonstrate how the new loss–tolerant protocols can be used to certify the EPR steering effect for arbitrarily high losses, and may find application in one–sided device–independent quantum key distribution protocols. The second experiment introduces EPR steering in the context of an EPR steering game. The rules of the game allow for certification of shared quantum correlations via EPR steering inequalites without requiring trust in devices or parties external to a quantum referee. In particular, the experiment successfully demonstrates EPR steering in a measurement–device independent framework; a framework which has typically been accessible only through Bell inequality violations. The findings suggest the possibility for quantum–refereed one–sided device–independent quantum key distribution protocols.
