Abstract

We show full control over the spatial correlations in a macroscopic quantum state of light generated via four-wave mixing. Taking advantage of momentum conservation, we engineer the distribution of the correlations via control of the angular spectrum of the pump.

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.

Tailoring spatial quantum correlations for quantum information

Alberto M. Marino

The spatial degree of freedom of entangled beams of light offers unique opportunities for quantum information due to its large dimensionality. Here, we show that it is possible to tailor the distribution of the spatial quantum correlations in entangled twin beams by taking advantage of the phase matching properties of four-wave mixing. This control can enable high-capacity quantum channels and quantum-enhanced spatially resolved sensing and imaging.

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.
