A pr 1 99 9 The Faraday quantum clock and non - local photon pair correlations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the use of the Faraday effect as a quantum clock for measuring traversal times of evanescent photons through magneto-refractive structures. The Faraday effect acts both as a phase-shifter and as a filter for circular po-larizations. Only measurements based on the Faraday phase-shift properties are relevant to the traversal time measurements. The Faraday polarization filtering may cause the loss of non-local (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) two-photon correlations, but this loss can be avoided without sacrificing the clock accuracy. We show that a mechanism of destructive interference between consecutive paths is responsible for superluminal traversal times measured by the clock.

An experimental demonstration of quantum-correlations is presented. Energy and time entangled photons at wavelengths of 704 and 1310 nm are produced by parametric downconversion in KNbO3 and are sent through optical fibers into a bulk-optical (704 nm) and an all-fiber Michelson-interferometer (1310 nm), respectively. The two interferometers are located 35 meters aside from one another. Using Fa...

Both complete protocol and optical setup for experimental realization of quantum teleportation of unknown single-photon wave packet are proposed. Quantum mechanics prohibits cloning (copying) an unknown quantum state (no cloning theorem [1]). Is it possible to transmit to a distant user a previously unknown quantum state without sending that state itself? Strictly speaking, any measurement aime...
متن کاملPhoton Frequency Entanglement Swapping
We propose a simple non-linear crystal based optical scheme for experimental realization of the frequency entanglement swapping between the photons belonging to two independent biphotons. Entangled states allowed by quantum theory result in purely quantum non-local correlations which do not occur in classical physics. The correlations of that kind underlie the well-known EPR effect [1] which wa...

We propose a two-photon micromaser-based scheme for the generation of a non-classical state from a mixed state. We conclude that a faster, as well as a higher degree of field purity is achieved in comparison to one-photon processes. We investigate the statistical properties of the resulting field states, for initial thermal and (phase-diffused) coherent states. Quasiprobabilities are employed t...
