Abstract

We develop and experimentally demonstrate a method for certifying high-dimensional entanglement that uses carefully constructed measurements in two bases. We are able to certify a record 9-dimensional entangled state in an assumption-free manner.

Efficiently certifying large amounts of entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems

Gregory A. Howland

Real-world platforms for enabling quantum information technologies are varied and imperfect; therefore, the quantum resources they provide must be characterized before they can be used. For some tasks, such as secure communication, resources like entanglement must be guaranteed, or certified. In large quantum systems, traditional approaches demand an intractable number of measurements. We demonstrate a practical method for quantifying high-dimensional entanglement from extremely limited data that does not require numerical optimization techniques. Using only 6,456 measurements, we certify over 7 ebits of entanglement-of-formation shared by entangled photon pairs in a joint-measurement space exceeding 68 billion dimensions.

High-dimensional entanglement certification

Zixin Huang, Lorenzo Maccone, Akib Karim +3 more

Quantum entanglement is the ability of joint quantum systems to possess global properties (correlation among systems) even when subsystems have no definite individual property. Whilst the 2-dimensional (qubit) case is well-understood, currently, tools to characterise entanglement in high dimensions are limited. We experimentally demonstrate a new procedure for entanglement certification that is suitable for large systems, based entirely on information-theoretics. It scales more efficiently than Bell's inequality and entanglement witness. The method we developed works for arbitrarily large system dimension d and employs only two local measurements of complementary properties. This procedure can also certify whether the system is maximally entangled. We illustrate the protocol for families of bipartite states of qudits with dimension up to 32 composed of polarisation-entangled photon pairs.

Two measurements are sufficient for certifying high-dimensional entanglement

Jessica Bavaresco, Natalia Herrera Valencia, Claude Klöckl +4 more

High-dimensional encoding of quantum information provides a promising method of transcending current limitations in quantum communication. One of the central challenges in the pursuit of such an approach is the certification of high-dimensional entanglement. In particular, it is desirable to do so without resorting to inefficient full state tomography. Here, we show how carefully constructed measurements in two bases (one of which is not orthonormal) can be used to faithfully and efficiently certify bipartite high-dimensional states and their entanglement for any physical platform. To showcase the practicality of this approach under realistic conditions, we put it to the test for photons entangled in their orbital angular momentum. In our experimental setup, we are able to verify 9-dimensional entanglement for a pair of photons on a 11-dimensional subspace each, at present the highest amount certified without any assumptions on the state.

Quantifying high-dimensional spatial entanglement with a single-photon-sensitive time-stamping camera

Baptiste Courme, Chloé Vernière, P. Švihra +3 more

High-dimensional entanglement is a promising resource for quantum technologies. Being able to certify it for any quantum state is essential. However, to date, experimental entanglement certification methods are imperfect and leave some loopholes open. Using a single-photon-sensitive time-stamping camera, we quantify high-dimensional spatial entanglement by collecting all output modes and without background subtraction, two critical steps on the route toward assumptions-free entanglement certification. We show position-momentum Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations and quantify the entanglement of formation of our source to be larger than 2.8 along both transverse spatial axes, indicating a dimension higher than 14. Our work overcomes important challenges in photonic entanglement quantification and paves the way toward the development of practical quantum information processing protocols based on high-dimensional entanglement.
