Local Transformation of Two EPR Photon Pairs into a Three-Photon W State Using a Polarization Dependent Beamsplitter
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have theoretically proposed and experimentally demonstrated that two EPR photon pairs can be transformed into a threephoton W state by local operation and classical communication (LOCC). The fidelity of the final state to the ideal W state was 0.778±0.043. The obtained expectation value of the witness operator for distinguishing between the three-photon W state and bi-separable states was −0.111 ± 0.043.

Local expansion of photonic W state using a polarization dependent beamsplitter
We propose a simple probabilistic optical gate to expand polarization entangled W states. The gate uses one polarization-dependent beamsplitter and a horizontally polarized single photon as an ancilla. The gate post-selectively expands N -photon W states to (N + 1)-photon W states. A feasibility analysis considering the realistic experimental conditions show that the scheme is within the reach ...

We propose a scheme to produce the maximally two photon polarization entangled state(EPR state) with single photon sources and the passive linear optics devices. In particular, our scheme only requires the normal photon detectors which distinguish the vacuum and non-vacuum Fock number states. A sophisticated photon detector distinguishing one-photon state and two-photon state is unnecessary. Th...

متن کاملThe Impact of the Spectral Filter Bandwidth on the Spectral Entanglement and Indistinguishability of Photon Pairs of SPDC Process
In this paper, we have investigated the dependence of the spectral entanglement and indistinguishability of photon pairs produced by the spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) procedure on the bandwidth of spectral filters used in the detection setup. The SPDC is a three-wave mixing process which occurs in a nonlinear crystal and generates entangled photon pairs and utilizes as one of th...
متن کاملThe generation of an entangled four-photon W-state by using linear optical elements
We present a scheme to produce an entangled four-photon W-state by using linear optical elements. The symmetrical setup of linear optical elements consists of four beam splitters, four polarisation beam splitters and four mirrors. A photon EPR-pair and two single-photon sources are required as the input modes. The projection on the W-state can be made by a four-photon coincidence measurement. F...
