Giant violations of classical inequalities through conditional homodyne detection of the quadrature amplitudes of light
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conditional homodyne detection is proposed as an extension of the intensity correlation technique introduced by Hanbury-Brown and Twiss [Nature (London) 177, 27 (1956)]. It detects giant quadrature amplitude fluctuations for weakly squeezed light, violating a classical bound by orders of magnitude. Fluctuations of both quadrature amplitudes are anomalously large. The squeezed quadrature also exhibits an anomalous phase.

Conditional homodyne detection of quadrature squeezing is compared with standard nonconditional detection. Whereas the latter identifies nonclassicality in a quantitative way, as a reduction of the noise power below the shot noise level, conditional detection makes a qualitative distinction between vacuum state squeezing and squeezed classical noise. Implications of this comparison for the real...
متن کاملPhysical Review Letters
Entanglement is a defining feature of quantum mechanical systems and leads to correlations between subsystems of a very nonclassical nature. These in turn lead to fundamentally new interactions and applications in the field of quantum information [1]. The strange nature of entanglement was first pointed out by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) [2] for the continuous variables of position and ...
متن کاملUltrafast measurement of optical-field statistics by dc-balanced homodyne detection
The technique of dc-balanced, pulsed homodyne detection for the purpose of determining optical-field statistics on short time scales is analyzed theoretically. Such measurements provide photon-number and phase distributions associated with a repetitive signal light field in a short time window. Timeand space-varying signal and local-oscillator pulses are treated, thus generalizing earlier treat...
متن کاملViolation of Bell’s inequality using classical measurements and non-linear local operations
We find that Bell’s inequality can be significantly violated (up to Tsirelson’s bound) with twomode entangled coherent states using only homodyne measurements. This requires Kerr nonlinear interactions for local operations on the entangled coherent states. Our example is a demonstration of Bell-inequality violations using classical measurements. We conclude that entangled coherent states with c...
متن کاملAn Entanglement Study of Superposition of Qutrit Spin-Coherent States
Considering generalized concurrence as the criterion of entanglement, we study entanglement properties of superposition of two qutrit coherent states, as a function of their amplitudes. These states may attain maximum entanglement or no entanglement at all, depending on the choice of the parameters involved. The states revealing maximum entanglement also display the maximum violations of the Be...
