Abstract

We demonstrate the first Bell-state analyzer for frequency-bin entangled photons and unambiguously distinguish two of four Bell states with fidelities over 92%. This is an important step toward the vision of a quantum internet that is compatible with both heterogeneous nodes and dense spectral multiplexing.

Bell state analyzer for spectrally distinct photons

Navin B. Lingaraju, Hsuan‐Hao Lu, Daniel E. Leaird +3 more

We demonstrate a Bell state analyzer that operates directly on frequency mismatch. Based on electro-optic modulators and Fourier-transform pulse shapers, our quantum frequency processor design implements interleaved Hadamard gates in discrete frequency modes. Experimental tests on entangled-photon inputs reveal fidelities of ∼ 98 % for discriminating between the | Ψ + ⟩ and | Ψ − ⟩ frequency-bin Bell states. Our approach resolves the tension between wavelength-multiplexed state transport and high-fidelity Bell state measurements, which typically require spectral indistinguishability.

Bell State Measurement between Two Spectrally Multiplexed Elementary Quantum Links

Ruiming Zhang, Chenzhi Yuan, Yunru Fan +11 more

We demonstrate a Bell state measurement (BSM) between two spectrally multiplexed elementary quantum links by using two time-bin photonics qubit generators with different spectral channels. A projection fidelity of >95% is achieved by erasing the spectral distinguishability between adjacent nodes of the two links with single-photon frequency shifting while the separation between spectral channels is carefully designed according to parameters of time-bin qubits.
