Abstract

We highlight the potential of hyperentangled biphoton frequency combs for quantum communications and networking by implementing frequency-bin quantum operations without degrading entanglement in the polarization degree of freedom.

Multidimensional entangled photon states represent a useful resource for large-scale quantum communication networks. By leveraging multiple degrees of freedom (DoFs) of photons, the dimensionality of the Hilbert space can be expanded without increasing the number of particles, enhancing the efficiency of quantum information processing. Specifically, hyperentanglement, i.e. simultaneous entanglement across multiple DoFs, is robust against decoherence, thus providing strengthened performance in noisy quantum communication protocols with respect to n-photon quantum states [1].

Polarization diversity phase modulator for measuring frequency-bin entanglement of a biphoton frequency comb in a depolarized channel

Phase modulation has emerged as a technique to create and manipulate high-dimensional frequency-bin entanglement. A necessary step to extending this technique to depolarized channels, such as those in a quantum networking environment, is the ability to perform phase modulation independent of photon polarization. This is also necessary to harness hyperentanglement in the polarization and frequency degrees of freedom for operations such as Bell state discrimination. However, practical phase modulators are generally sensitive to the polarization of light, and this makes them unsuited to such applications. We overcome this limitation by implementing a polarization diversity scheme to measure frequency-bin entanglement for arbitrary orientations of co- and cross-polarized time-energy entangled photon pairs.
