Parametric down conversion of X-ray photons.

چکیده
Parametric down conversion of X-ray photons in diamond crystals was detected in two experiments, both using the phase-matching scheme first employed in the X-ray regime by Eisenberger & McCall [Phys. Rev. Lett. (1971), 26, 684-688]. The conversion events were detected by a combination of time-correlation spectroscopy and energy discrimination, using Si drift-chamber detectors. The time-correlation spectra give a direct comparison of the conversion rate over the accidental coincidence rate. Mechanisms for possible detection of false events and ways to cross check against them are discussed in detail.

Europium doped transparent lead fluorophosphate glass ceramics successfully were prepared with heat treatment of precourse glasses at temperature above glass transition (Tg).

The emission spectra investigation indicate that considerable amount of Eu3+ ions were trapped in crystalline phase, and the...
متن کاملX-ray-generated heralded macroscopical quantum entanglement of two nuclear ensembles
Heralded entanglement between macroscopical samples is an important resource for present quantum technology protocols, allowing quantum communication over large distances. In such protocols, optical photons are typically used as information and entanglement carriers between macroscopic quantum memories placed in remote locations. Here we investigate theoretically a new implementation which empl...
متن کاملSpatial and spectral mode selection of heralded single photons from pulsed parametric down-conversion.
We describe an experiment in which photon pairs from a pulsed parametric down-conversion (PDC) source were coupled into single-mode fibers with heralding efficiencies as high as 70%. Heralding efficiency or mode preparation efficiency is defined as the probability of finding a photon in a fiber in a definite state, given the detection of its twin. Heralding efficiencies were obtained for a rang...
متن کاملExplaining the x-ray nonlinear susceptibility of diamond and silicon near absorption edges
We report the observation and the theoretical explanation of the parametric down-conversion nonlinear susceptibility at the K-absorption edge of diamond and at the L23-absorption edge of a silicon crystal. Using arguments similar to those invoked to successfully predict resonant inelastic x-ray spectra, we derive an expression for the renormalization term of the nonlinear susceptibility at the ...
متن کاملRealization of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox using momentum- and position-entangled photons from spontaneous parametric down conversion.
We report on a momentum-position realization of the EPR paradox using direct detection in the near and far fields of the photons emitted by collinear type-II phase-matched parametric down conversion. Using this approach we achieved a measured two-photon momentum-position variance product of 0.01 variant Planck's over 2pi (2), which dramatically violates the bounds for the EPR and separability c...
