Topology: A New Degree of Freedom for Photonic Entanglement

Cooper Doyle, W.-W. Zhang, Bryn A. Bell, Stephen D. Bartlett, Andrea Blanco‐Redondo

Abstract

We report our experimental demonstration of biphoton entanglement between topologically-distinct modes in a bipartite silicon photonics lattice. These results highlight topology as a degree of freedom for entanglement and could have implications in quantum information.

Biphoton entanglement of topologically distinct modes

Cooper Doyle, Weiwei Zhang, Michelle Wang +3 more

The robust generation and manipulation of entangled multiphoton states on chip has an essential role in quantum computation and communication. Lattice topology has emerged as a means of protecting photonic states from disorder, but entanglement across different topologies remains unexplored. We report biphoton entanglement between topologically distinct spatial modes in a bipartite array of silicon waveguides. The results highlight topology as an additional degree of freedom for entanglement and open avenues for investigating information teleportation between trivial and topological modes.

Topological quantum photonics

Andrea Blanco‐Redondo

The field of topological photonics leverages concepts from geometry and topology – the branch of mathematics that deals with global properties that cannot be changed under continuous deformation – to produce electromagnetic modes that propagate with immunity to certain types of disorder and imperfections. In the last few years, several experiments have achieved the generation and propagation of quantum states of light in these so-called topological modes, demonstrating enhanced robustness of such inherently fragile quantum states. In this talk we will focus on our recent results in this area including topological protection of spatial entanglement and the demonstration of topology as an additional degree of freedom for entanglement using CMOS-compatible silicon photonics platforms.
