Control of Spatial Quantum Correlations in Entangled Twin Beams

Alberto M. Marino

The spatial degree of freedom of quantum states of light can offer new possibilities for imaging and sensing applications, such as enhanced optical resolution, noiseless image amplification, and enhanced beam positioning. In order to take full advantage of the spatial degree of freedom for practical applications, it is necessary to control the quantum correlations between the spatial modes that make up a quantum state of light. In this talk, I will present our study of the spatial quantum correlations in bright entangled twin beams and show that it is possible to obtain full control over their distribution.

Information encoding in the spatial correlations of entangled twin beams

Gaurav Nirala, Siva T. Pradyumna, Ashok Kumar +1 more

The ability to use the temporal and spatial degrees of freedom of quantum states of light to encode and transmit information is crucial for a robust and efficient quantum network. In particular, the potential offered by the large dimensionality of the spatial degree of freedom remains unfulfilled, as the necessary level of control required to encode information remains elusive. We encode information in the distribution of the spatial correlations of entangled twin beams by taking advantage of their dependence on the angular spectrum of the pump needed for four-wave mixing. We show that the encoded information can only be extracted through joint spatial measurements of the twin beams and not through individual beam measurements and that the temporal quantum correlations are not modified. The ability to engineer the spatial properties of twin beams will enable high-capacity quantum networks and quantum-enhanced spatially resolved sensing and imaging.

Detection of the Ultranarrow Temporal Correlation of Twin Beams via Sum-Frequency Generation

Ottavia Jedrkiewicz, Jean-Luc Blanchet, E. Brambilla +2 more

We demonstrate the ultranarrow temporal correlation (6 fs full width half maximum) of twin beams generated by parametric down-conversion by using its reverse process, i.e., sum-frequency generation. The result relies on an achromatic imaging of a huge bandwidth of twin beams and on a careful control of their spatial degrees of freedom. The detrimental effects of spatial filtering and imperfect imaging are shown, along with the theoretical model used to describe the results.
