Quantum measurements with an amplitude-squeezed-light beam splitter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantum measurement of amplitude fluctuation is performed by the injection of 2.5-dB amplitude-squeezed light produced by a quantum-well laser into the dark port of a beam splitter as the meter wave. It is shown that the measurements satisfy the criteria of quantum nondemolition measurement. The measured transfer coefficient and the quantum-state preparation ability are 1.07 and 0.8, respectively.

Continuous-Variable Spatial Entanglement for Bright Optical Beams
A light beam is said to be position squeezed if its position can be determined to an accuracy beyond the standard quantum limit. We identify the position and momentum observables for bright optical beams and show that position and momentum entanglement can be generated by interfering two position, or momentum, squeezed beams on a beam splitter. The position and momentum measurements of these be...
متن کاملPolarization squeezing of continuous variable stokes parameters.
We report the first direct experimental characterization of continuous variable quantum Stokes parameters. We generate a continuous wave light beam with more than 3 dB of simultaneous squeezing in three of the four Stokes parameters. The polarization squeezed beam is produced by mixing two quadrature squeezed beams on a polarizing beam splitter. Depending on the squeezed quadrature of these two...
متن کاملCoherence versus interferometric resolution
Coherence is a key concept in optics derived from the statistical nature of real light beams [1–3]. Coherence is usually understood as the principal requisite for good quality interference fringes. In this work we show from a quantum metrological perspective that this is not always the case, so that optimum interference and second-order coherence may become antithetical. More specifically, we f...
متن کاملWitnessing Entanglement with Second-Order Interference and Stokes Parameters
We propose to use Stokes parameter as an entanglement witness for correlated EPR mixed states of light. Such states can be generated with a beam splitter acting on two mixed squeezed states of light. Stokes witness operators are closely related to the Hanbury-Brown and Twiss interference and can be used to test entanglement in balanced homodyne experiments involving fluctuations of quantum quad...
متن کامل2 Properties of a beam splitter entangler with Gaussian input states
An explicit formula is given for the quantity of entanglement in the output state of a beam splitter, given the squeezed vacuum states input in each mode. For the general Gaussian states input, the necessary and sufficient condition for the inseparability of the output state from a beam splitter is given.
