Studies of Quantum Entanglement in 100 Dimensions

Abstract

Entangled quantum systems have properties that have fundamentally overthrown the classical worldview. Increasing the complexity of entangled states by expanding their dimensionality allows the implementation of novel fundamental tests of nature, and moreover also enables genuinely new protocols for quantum information processing. Here we present the creation of a (100x100)-dimensional entangled quantum system, using spatial modes of photons. For its verification we develop a novel nonlinear criterion which infers entanglement dimensionality of a global state by using only information about its subspace correlations. This allows very practical experimental implementation as well as highly efficient extraction of entanglement dimensionality information. Applications in quantum cryptography and other protocols are very promising.

Increasing the Quantum Number, Dimensionality and Complexity of Entanglement

Robert Fickler, Mario Krenn, Radek Łapkiewicz +4 more

Complex transverse spatial modes of photons are very interesting for both, foundations and applications of quantum information. In a first experiment, we generate two-dimensional bi-partite entanglement where each photon carries an orbital angular momentum of a quantum number up to 300. Secondly, we demonstrate (100 × 100)-dimensional entanglement, using again the spatial modes of photons and a novel nonlinear criterion which uses only information about two-dimensional subspace correlations. In a third test, we increase the complexity of the state by entangling ”vector photons” that show a transverse varying polarization. Thereby, we demonstrate a surprising property: Such photons can be both entangled and not entangled in polarization depending on their transverse spatial position.

Hyper-Dimensional Entanglement Verification

Jincheng Zhang

This paper proposes a novel approach to verifying quantum entanglement with significantly improved fidelity compared to traditional Bell tests. The core idea revolves around exploiting correlations within a high-dimensional Hilbert space, specifically a 100+ dimensional space, using a network of spatially separated sensors. Each sensor measures a correlated set of quantum states. Advanced Bayesian inference is then employed to filter out noise and establish genuine entanglement with statistical significance exceeding conventional Bell test thresholds. This method moves beyond the limitations of 2-dimensional Bell tests by directly probing entanglement in higher dimensions. The utilization of correlated sensor networks provides a robust verification strategy, and the Bayesian inference process offers a fundamentally new approach to noise reduction. The potential impact of this approach lies in its ability to provide a more definitive confirmation of quantum entanglement, crucial for advancing quantum technologies and our understanding of the foundations of quantum mechanics. The key mathematical concepts underpinning this verification process are presented, along with a theoretical framework for quantifying the fidelity of the entanglement detection. ---

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.

A quantum router for high-dimensional entanglement

Manuel Erhard, Mehul Malik, Anton Zeilinger

Abstract In addition to being a workhorse for modern quantum technologies, entanglement plays a key role in fundamental tests of quantum mechanics. The entanglement of photons in multiple levels, or dimensions, explores the limits of how large an entangled state can be, while also greatly expanding its applications in quantum information. Here we show how a high-dimensional quantum state of two photons entangled in their orbital angular momentum can be split into two entangled states with a smaller dimensionality structure. Our work demonstrates that entanglement is a quantum property that can be subdivided into spatially separated parts. In addition, our technique has vast potential applications in quantum as well as classical communication systems.
