Quantum frequency conversion using nanophotonics

Qing Li, Anshuman Singh, Xiyuan Lu, Varun Boehm Verma, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Kartik A. Srinivasan

Abstract

We demonstrate quantum frequency conversion of photon pairs, with both pair generation and frequency conversion implemented in Si3N4 microrings. Quantum correlations between the signal and idler are preserved, with an on-chip conversion efficiency around 25%.

Quantum entanglement between signal and frequency-up-converted idler photons

Jiaxuan Wang, Alexei V. Sokolov, G. S. Agarwal

Quantum frequency up-conversion is a cutting-edge technique that leverages the interaction between photons and quantum systems to shift the frequency of single photons from a lower frequency to a higher frequency. If a photon before up-conversion was part of an entangled pair, it becomes crucial to comprehend the time-frequency entanglement after up-conversion. In this study, we present a theoretical analysis of the transformation of the time-dependent second-order quantum correlations in photon pairs and find the preservation of such correlations under fairly general conditions. Furthermore, we analyze Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between the signal and frequency-converted idler photons to gain insight into the indistinguishability of the two photons. The visibility of two-photon interference is sensitive to the magnitude of frequency conversion and improves as the frequency separation between two photons decreases.
