Polarization-entangled photon pairs can be efficiently prepared into pure Bell states with a high fidelity via type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) of narrow-band pump light. However, the use of femtosecond pump pulses to generate multi-photon states with precise timing often requires spectral filtering to maintain a high quality of polarization entanglement. This typically red...
متن کاملHyperentanglement in Parametric Down-Conversion
A theory of spontaneous parametric down-conversion, which gives rise to a quantum state that is simultaneously entangled in three-dimensional wavevector and polarization, allows us to understand the unusual characteristics of fourth-order quantum interference in many experiments, including ultrafast parametric down-conversion, the speci c example illustrated in this paper. The comprehensive app...
متن کاملInterferometric Bell-state preparation using femtosecond-pulse-pumped Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion
We present theoretical and experimental study of preparing maximally entangled two-photon polarization states, or Bell states, using femtosecond pulse pumped spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). First, we show how the inherent distinguishability in femtosecond pulse pumped type-II SPDC can be removed by using an interferometric technique without spectral and amplitude post-selection. ...
متن کاملFull multipartite entanglement of frequency-comb Gaussian states.
An analysis is conducted of the multipartite entanglement for Gaussian states generated by the parametric down-conversion of a femtosecond frequency comb. Using a recently introduced method for constructing optimal entanglement criteria, a family of tests is formulated for mode decompositions that extends beyond the traditional bipartition analyses. A numerical optimization over this family is ...
متن کاملQuantum Cryptography with Femtosecond Parametric down Conversion
We experimentally demonstrate a quantum cryptography system using two-photon entangled (EPR) states generated via the nonlinear process of spontaneous parametric down conversion pumped by a femtosecond laser. There are two major approaches in quantum cryptography which historically appeared almost simultaneously. One uses the quantum features of single photon states produced by signi cant atten...
