Nonlinear optics with less than one photon.
We demonstrate suppression and enhancement of spontaneous parametric down-conversion via quantum interference with two weak fields from a local oscillator (LO). Effectively, pairs of LO photons up-convert with high efficiency for appropriate phase settings, exhibiting an effective nonlinearity enhanced by at least 10 orders of magnitude. This constitutes a two-photon switch and promises to be a...
متن کاملMinimum detection efficiency for a loophole-free atom-photon bell experiment.
In Bell experiments, one problem is to achieve high enough photodetection to ensure that there is no possibility of describing the results via a local hidden-variable model. Using the Clauser-Horne inequality and a two-photon nonmaximally entangled state, a photodetection efficiency higher than 0.67 is necessary. Here we discuss atom-photon Bell experiments. We show that, assuming perfect detec...
متن کاملProposal for a loophole-free test of the Bell inequalities.
A proposal for an experimental realization of Bohm s spin-2 particle version of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment is described. Two ' Hg atoms, each with nuclear spin 2, are produced in an entangled state with total nuclear spin zero. Such a state is obtained by dissociation of dimers of the ' Hg2 isotopomer using a spectroscopically selective stimulated Raman process. The measurement of n...
متن کاملProposal for a loophole-free Bell test using homodyne detection.
We propose a feasible optical setup allowing for a loophole-free Bell test with efficient homodyne detection. A non-Gaussian entangled state is generated from a two-mode squeezed vacuum by subtracting a single photon from each mode, using beam splitters and standard low-efficiency single-photon detectors. A Bell violation exceeding 1% is achievable with 6 dB squeezed light and a homodyne effici...
متن کاملRobust long-distance entanglement and a loophole-free bell test with ions and photons.
Two trapped ions that are kilometers apart can be entangled by the joint detection of two photons, each coming from one of the ions, in a basis of entangled states. Such a detection is possible with linear optical elements. The use of two-photon interference allows entanglement distribution free of interferometric sensitivity to the path length of the photons. The present method of creating ent...
