State preparation by photon filtering
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. We propose a setup capable of generating Fock states of a single mode radiation field. The scheme is based on coupling the signal field to a ring cavity through cross-Kerr phase modulation, and on conditional ONOFF photodetection at the output cavity mode. The same setup allows to prepare selected superpositions of Fock states and entangled two-mode states. Remarkably, the detector’s quantum efficiency does not affect the reliability of the state synthesis.

Producing high fidelity single photons with optimal brightness
Parametric down-conversion (PDC) offers the possibility to control the fabrication of non-Gaussian states such as Fock states. However, in conventional PDC sources energy and momentum conservation introduce strict frequency and photon number correlations, which impact the fidelity of the prepared state. In our work we optimize the preparation of single-photon Fock state from the emission of wav...

متن کاملExperimental filtering of two-, four-, and six-photon singlets from a single parametric down-conversion source
Invariant entangled states remain unchanged under simultaneous identical unitary transformations of all their subsystems. We experimentally generate and characterize such invariant two-, four-, and six-photon polarization entangled states. This is done only with a suitable filtering procedure of multiple emissions of entangled photon pairs from a single source without any interferometric overla...
متن کاملExperimental high fidelity six-photon entangled state for telecloning protocol
We experimentally generate and characterize a six-photon polarization entangled state, which is usually called “Ψ+6 ”. This is realized with a filtering procedure of triple emissions of entangled photon pairs from a single source, which does not use any interferometric overlaps. The setup is very stable and we observe the sixphoton state with high fidelity. The observed state can be used for de...
متن کاملProposal to produce two and four qubits with spatial modes of two photons
This article presents a proposal for preparing photon pairs in states that are entangled in their spatial modes. The method allows the encoding of any pair of spatial modes that is desired, without restrictions; a procedure that up to now has been elusive. This method consists of three steps: preparing photon pairs in polarization-entangled states, filtering the spatial mode, and use of polariz...
