Abstract

In this work, we present the generation and the distribution of controllable time-bin qubits over 100 km single-mode fiber. Moreover, we briefly show our entanglement source based on a nonlinear photonic integrated circuit platform.

Fully controllable time-bin entangled states distributed over 100-km single-mode fibers

Jinwoo Kim, Jiho Park, Guhwan Kim +7 more

Quantum networks that can perform user-defined protocols beyond quantum key distribution will require fully controllable entangled quantum states. To expand the available space of generated time-bin entangled states, we demonstrate a time-bin entangled photon source that produces qubit states $|{\psi}\rangle = \alpha |{00}\rangle + \beta |{11}\rangle $ with fully controllable phase and amplitudes. Eight different two-photon states have been selected and prepared from arbitrary states on the reduced two-qubit Bloch sphere. The photon pairs encoded in the time-bin scheme were generated at 2.4 MHz with a visibility of $V = 0.9475 \pm 0.0016$ , with a violation of the CHSH Bell’s inequality by 197 standard deviations. After entanglement distribution over 100 km of single-mode fibers, we obtained a visibility of $V = 0.9541 \pm 0.0113$ with a violation of the CHSH Bell’s inequality by 6 standard deviations. The prepared states had an average fidelity of $0.9540 \pm 0.0016$ at the source and an average fidelity of $0.9353 ^{+0.0100}_{-0.0209}$ after entanglement distribution, which shows that the quantum states generated by our time-bin entangled photon source can be fully controlled potentially to a level applicable to long-distance advanced quantum network systems.

Distribution of Time-Bin Entangled Photons through a 7.7 km Hollow-Core Fiber

Michael Antesberger, Carla M. D. Richter, Francesco Poletti +7 more

We distribute entangled time-bin qubits, separated by 200 picoseconds, through a low-latency 7.7 km hollow-core fiber. Due to dispersion, these time bins cannot be resolved when sent through commercial silica fiber of the same length.

Single pairs of time-bin-entangled photons

Marijn A. M. Versteegh, Michael E. Reimer, Aafke A. van den Berg +5 more

Time-bin-entangled photons are ideal for long-distance quantum communication via optical fibers. Here we present a source where, even at high creation rates, each excitation pulse generates, at most, one time-bin-entangled pair. This is important for the accuracy and security of quantum communication. Our site-controlled quantum dot generates single polarization-entangled photon pairs, which are then converted, without loss of entanglement strength, into single time-bin-entangled photon pairs.

I report the first experiment on 1.5-mum band entanglement generation in a cooled fiber. Low-noise time-bin entangled photon pairs were successfully generated and distributed over 60 km of fiber with a raw visibility of 76%.

Distribution of Time-Bin Entangled Qubits over 50 km of Optical Fiber

I. Marcikic, Hugues de Riedmatten, Wolfgang Tittel +3 more

We report experimental distribution of time-bin entangled qubits over 50 km of optical fibers. Using actively stabilized preparation and measurement devices we demonstrate violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Bell inequality by more than 15 standard deviations without removing the detector noise. In addition we report a proof-of principle experiment of quantum key distribution over 50 km of optical fibers using entangled photon.

Distribution of Telecom Time-Bin Entangled Photons through a 7.7 km Antiresonant Hollow-Core Fiber

Michael Antesberger, Carla M. D. Richter, Francesco Poletti +6 more

We show that hollow-core fibers have emerged for quantum technology by distributing entangled time-bin qubits over a 7.7 km fiber. We study this fiber’s advantages in transmission speed and dispersion over a broad spectral range.
