Development of a Compact, Fiber-based, Hyper-entangled Photon Pair Source

Jackson Russett

This thesis explores a method to enhance the practical utility of hyper-entangled photons generatedin periodically poled silica fiber for quantum communication applications. Hyper-entanglement, which involves quantum correlations in multiple degrees of freedom simultaneously, offers increased information capacity per particle compared to single-degree entanglement. Periodically poled sil- ica fiber has shown promise in generating high-quality, broadband polarization-frequency hyper- entangled photon pairs collinearly through type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion. How- ever, the collinear nature of these photon pairs poses a challenge for applications requiring hyper- entanglement, as they occupy the same spatial mode. This research develops a technique for sep- arating these photon pairs while preserving their information capacity, measures the resulting en- tanglement quality degradation, and discusses potential improvements. This work contributes to the development of efficient fiber-based hyper-entanglement sources, advancing the field of practical quantum technologies and long-distance quantum communication.

Ultra Stable All-Fiber Telecom-Band Entangled Photon-Pair Source for Turnkey Quantum Communication Applications

Chuang Liang, Kim Fook Lee, Todd Levin +2 more

We demonstrate a novel alignment-free all-fiber source for generating telecom-band polarization-entangled photon pairs. Up to 91.7% two-photon-interference visibility is observed without subtracting accidental coincidences arising from background photons while operating the source at room temperature.

Ultra stable all-fiber telecom-band entangled photon-pair source for turnkey quantum communication applications

Chuang Liang, Kim Fook Lee, Todd Levin +2 more

We demonstrate a novel alignment-free all-fiber source for generating telecom-band polarization-entangled photon pairs. Polarization entanglement is created by injecting two relatively delayed, orthogonally polarized pump pulses into a piece of dispersion-shifted fiber, where each one independently engages in four-photon scattering, and then removing any distinguishability between the correlated photon-pairs produced by each pulse at the fiber output. Our scheme uses a Michelson-interferometer configuration with Faraday mirrors to achieve practically desirable features such as ultra-stable performance and turnkey operation. Up to 91.7% two-photon-interference visibility is observed without subtracting the accidental coincidences that arise from background photons while operating the source at room temperature.
