Long-distance distribution of the telecom band intensity difference squeezing generated in a fiber optical parametric amplifier

Yuhong Liu, Nan Huo, Jiamin Li +1 more

Using an all-fiber source of pulsed twin beams, with the record intensity difference squeezing of 6.1±0.15 dB for fiber optical parametric amplifiers, we experimentally distribute the pulsed continuous variable (CV) quantum state over a long distance. After separating the signal and idler twin beams by 26 km single-mode fibers, the measured intensity difference noise is still below the shot noise limit by 2 dB. The result shows that the distribution process is only affected by the vacuum noise originated from the fiber transmission loss. The extra noise contributed by the acoustic wave Brillouin scattering and Raman scattering in 26 km transmission fibers has not been observed. The investigation is beneficial for studying long-distance CV quantum communication.

Quantum squeezing enhancement with a two-port feedback optical parametric amplifier

Yashuai Han, Juanzhong Qiang

In the paper, the intensity-difference squeezing enhancement from a two-port feedback optical parametric amplifier (TFPA) is theoretically discussed. The performance of squeezing enhancement with the TFPA is compared with that of a one-port feedback optical parametric amplifier (OFPA) and a phase-sensitive optical amplifier. For the ideal case, the infinite squeezing can be achieved for both TFPA and OFPA by manipulating the strength of the feedback and the phase delay induced by the feedback loops. Furthermore, the TFPA can realize the all-phase squeezing enhancement. For the lossy case, the TFPA shows unique advantages in squeezing enhancement against the other two schemes. Our results provide new ideas on the generation of high-quality intensity-difference squeezed light, which may find potential applications in quantum information and quantum metrology.

An entangled squeezed state generated by an optical parametric amplifier and a beam splitter

Gang Ren, Chunzao Zhang

Abstract We propose a method to generate an entangled squeezed state using an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) and a beam splitter (BS). This device can manipulate the output quantum light field by modulating two parameters: the intensity of the OPA and the transmittance of the optical BS. For the output quantum state associated with a symmetric BS, there is no quadrature squeezing. Moreover, neither photon correlation nor entanglement are observed. However, in terms of sum squeezing, the quantum state corresponding to the symmetric BS is the strongest. Therefore, an asymmetric BS and a highly squeezing OPA are the best choices for generating the quantum entangled squeezed states.
