Abstract

We demonstrate the first measurement of entanglement between the twin beams generated by an OPO based on four-wave mixing in 85Rb above the threshold. We reconstruct the covariance matrix by using the method of resonator detection.

Continuous Variable Entanglement in an Optical Parametric Oscillator Based on a Nondegenerate Four Wave Mixing Process in Hot Alkali Atoms

We present the measurement of entanglement between twin beams generated with a doubly resonant optical parameter oscillator (OPO) based on four-wave mixing in hot ^{85}Rb vapor above threshold. This is the first measurement of entanglement in an OPO with a χ^{(3)} media above threshold. We reconstruct the covariance matrix for several configurations and based on a full picture of the four side band mode state, we study entanglement between all possible bipartitions. We show a robust generation of entanglement with stronger generation for a specific pair of modes. For this system, we show that atomic density is a determinant factor for the generation and loss of quantum correlations. The generation of entangled fields with an atomic OPO operating close to atomic resonance of alkali atoms enables a natural integration into quantum networks.

Hidden entanglement in twin beams generated through optical parametric amplification in hot alkali atoms

R. L. Rincón Celis, Gaurav Nirala, A. Montaña Guerrero +4 more

Proper characterization of quantum correlations in a multimode optical state is critical for applications in quantum information science; however, the most common entanglement measurements can lead to an incomplete state reconstruction. This is the case for the ubiquitous spectral measurement of field quadratures for which a full characterization of the quantum correlations between optical beams is not possible. We demonstrate this effect in twin beams generated through parametric amplification by four-wave mixing in hot rubidium vapor, showing the role of a frequency dependent gain response. We implement a resonator-based measurement that reveals entanglement between beams that is otherwise hidden by usual spectral measurements. Additionally, this system shows how the phase shifts between the carrier and the sidebands on the involved fields affect the observation of entanglement for different entanglement witnesses, demonstrating the relevance of making a complete state tomography.

Quantum Noise Correlations of an Optical Parametric Oscillator Based on a Nondegenerate Four Wave Mixing Process in Hot Alkali Atoms

A. Montaña Guerrero, P. Nussenzveig, M. Martinelli +2 more

We present the first measurement of two-mode squeezing between the twin beams produced by a doubly resonant optical parameter oscillator (OPO) in an above threshold operation based on parametric amplification by nondegenerate four wave mixing with rubidium (^{85}Rb). We demonstrate a maximum intensity difference squeezing of -2.7 dB (-3.5 dB corrected for losses) with a pump power of 285 mW and an output power of 12 mW for each beam, operating close to the D1 line of Rb atoms. The use of open cavities combined with the high gain media can provide a strong level of noise compression and the access to new operation regimes that could not be explored by crystal based OPOs. The spectral bandwidth of the squeezed light is broadened by the cavity dynamics, and the squeezing level is robust for strong pump powers. Stable operation was obtained up to 4 times above the threshold. Moreover, operation of the OPO close to the atomic resonances of alkali atoms allows a natural integration into quantum networks, including structures such as quantum memories.

Measurement of three-color optical quantum correlations in the above-threshold optical parametric oscillator

K. N. Cassemiro, Alessandro S. Villar, M. Martinelli +1 more

This paper presents an experimental demonstration of three-color quantum correlations between the bright pump, signal, and idler beams produced by an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). This paper shows that the degree of entanglement between the twin beams can be increased by using information from the pump beam.

Entanglement and quantum correlations in the optical parametric oscillator above threshold

K. N. Cassemiro, Alessandro S. Villar, Paulo Valente +2 more

We describe several recent experimental studies in the above-threshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Seventeen years after the original prediction, entanglement of the twin beams was experimentally demonstrated in 2005. It was followed by the prediction that the OPO should directly produce tripartite pump-signal-idler entangled beams. We also present experimental quantum correlations among these three fields.
