Quantum interference with photon pairs using two micro-structured fibres

Abstract

We demonstrate a quantum interference experiment between two photons coming from non-degenerate pairs created by four-wave mixing in two separated micro-structured fibres. When the two heralded photons are made indistinguishable a 95% visibility is demonstrated.

We have developed an ultra-bright pair-photon source using four wave mixing in micro-structured fibres. This source can serve as a new universal source for quantum information experiments. Using photon pairs created by four-wave mixing, we demonstrate non-classical interference between two separated sources and preliminary evidence for entangled photon pair generation both with high counting rate

Quantum interference with photon pairs created in spatially separated sources

We report on a quantum interference experiment to probe the coherence between two photons coming from nondegenerate photon pairs at telecom wavelength created in spatially separated sources. The two photons are mixed on a beam splitter and we observe a reduction of up to 84% in the net coincidence count rate when the photons are made indistinguishable. This experiment constitutes an important step towards the realization of quantum teleportation and entanglement swapping with independent sources.
