Abstract

The novel experimental realization of three-state optical quantum systems is presented. We use the polarization state of biphotons in single frequency- and spatial mode to generate an arbitrary qutrits. In particular the specific sequence of states that are used in the extended version of BB84 quantum key distribution protocol was generated and tested. We experimentally verify the orthogonality of the 12 basic states and demonstrate the ability of switching between them. The tomography procedure is applied to reconstruct the density matrices of generated states.

Qutrit State Engineering with Biphotons

The novel experimental realization of three-level optical quantum systems is presented. We use the polarization state of biphotons to generate a specific sequence of states that are used in the extended version of four-state QKD protocol quantum key distribution protocol. We experimentally verify the orthogonality of the basic states and demonstrate the ability to easily switch between them. The tomography procedure is employed to reconstruct the density matrices of generated states.

Preparation of biphotons in arbitrary polarization states

An experiment on preparation of entangled photon pairs (biphotons) in an arbitrary polarization state is described. The biphotons are qutrits (three-state quantum systems). They can be used in ternary quantum cryptography protocols. A theoretically derived orthogonality criterion for the prepared biphotons is validated experimentally. The criterion can be used to identify orthogonal biphoton states.

Remote preparation of qutrit states with biphotons

Hideharu Mikami, Takayoshi Kobayashi

We report an experimental demonstration of remote preparation of an arbitrary pure qutrit state. A qutrit is encoded in a two-photon (biphoton) polarization state. Prepared states are characterized by quantum state tomography. Experimental imperfection is discussed and evaluated by an experimentally obtained density matrix. The present scheme can develop into generation of an arbitrary two-photon triplet state and accordingly to an essential multiparty quantum communication protocol. Generalization to higher order which enables remote preparation of an arbitrary qudit state and several typical multiphoton entangled states is also shown.

The novel experimental realization of four-level optical quantum systems (ququarts) is presented. We exploit the polarization properties of frequency non-degenerate biphoton field to obtain such systems. A simple method that does not rely on interferometer is used to generate and measure the sequence of states that can be used in quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol.
