Projection of Two Biphoton Qutrits onto a Maximally Entangled State

Abstract

We propose and demonstrate the projection of two quantum three state systems (qutrits) onto a maximally entangled state. The qutrits are represented by the polarization of biphotons - pairs of indistinguishable photons.

Projection of Two Biphoton Qutrits onto a Maximally Entangled State

A. Halevy, E. Megidish, Tomer Shacham +2 more

Bell state measurements, in which two quantum bits are projected onto a maximally entangled state, are an essential component of quantum information science. We propose and experimentally demonstrate the projection of two quantum systems with three states (qutrits) onto a generalized maximally entangled state. Each qutrit is represented by the polarization of a pair of indistinguishable photons-a biphoton. The projection is a joint measurement on both biphotons using standard linear optics elements. This demonstration enables the realization of quantum information protocols with qutrits, such as teleportation and entanglement swapping.

Experimental Study of the Decoherence of Biphoton Qutrits

Assaf Shaham, H. S. Eisenberg

We have generated various indistinguishable biphoton states, representing quantum trits. Their coherence was controllably changed and fully characterized by two-photon state tomography. Entanglement dynamics of the biphotons has also been studied.

Entanglement of biphoton states: qutrits and ququarts

Mikhail Vladimirovich Fedorov, P. A. Volkov, J. M. Mikhailova +2 more

We investigate, in a general form, entanglement of biphoton qutrits and ququarts, i.e. states formed in the processes of, correspondingly, degenerate and non-degenerate spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Indistinguishability of photons and, for ququarts, joint presence of the frequency and polarization entanglement are fully taken into account. In the case of qutrits, the most general three-parametric families of maximally entangled and non-entangled states are found, and anticorrelation of the degree of entanglement and polarization is shown to occur and to be characterized by a rather simple formula. Biphoton ququarts are shown to be two-qudits with the single-photon Hilbert space dimensionality d =4, which differentiates them significantly from the often used two-qubit model ( d =2). New expressions for entanglement quantifiers of biphoton ququarts are derived and discussed. Rather simple procedures for a direct measurement of the degree of entanglement are described for both qutrits and ququarts.

Preparation of biphotons in arbitrary polarization states

L. A. Krivitskiı̆, S. P. Kulik, Gleb Maslennikov +1 more

An experiment on preparation of entangled photon pairs (biphotons) in an arbitrary polarization state is described. The biphotons are qutrits (three-state quantum systems). They can be used in ternary quantum cryptography protocols. A theoretically derived orthogonality criterion for the prepared biphotons is validated experimentally. The criterion can be used to identify orthogonal biphoton states.

State entanglement of biphoton qutrits and ququarts

Mikhail Vladimirovich Fedorov

Properties of biphoton qutrits and ququarts are characterized with allowance for the demands of the symmetry of wave functions of two-boson states and, in the case of ququarts, for the presence of two independent degrees of freedom (e.g., polarization and frequency) of the photons.
