Entangled “Frankenstein” Photons
نویسنده
چکیده
The H> and V> outputs of a Polarizing Beam Splitter can be combined to restore the original input superposition state, as long as no knowledge is obtained regarding the path taken through the PBS. Using this principle, it should be possible to create entangled photons from the identical H> and V> components of different polarization entangled photons. These “Frankenstein” photons will also be polarization entangled and should violate a Bell Inequality.

Orbital angular momentum of entangled counterpropagating photons.
We elucidate the paraxial orbital angular momentum of entangled photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion in different noncollinear geometries in which the entangled photons counterpropagate. We find, in particular, the orbital angular momentum of entangled pairs generated in transverse-emitting configurations, in which none of the known rules for selecting orbital angular...
متن کاملOn-chip steering of entangled photons in nonlinear photonic crystals.
One promising technique for working toward practical photonic quantum technologies is to implement multiple operations on a monolithic chip, thereby improving stability, scalability and miniaturization. The on-chip spatial control of entangled photons will certainly benefit numerous applications, including quantum imaging, quantum lithography, quantum metrology and quantum computation. However,...
متن کاملSources of Single and Entangled Photons
The ability to produce single photons and entangled photon pairs in desired quantum states is essential in any system intended to handle quantum information. Single photons serve as qubits in quantum computers, and the most powerful operations in those computers are performed by entangling them. Further, entangled pairs of photons are the carriers for signals in quantum-encrypted communications...
متن کاملAngular two-photon interference and angular two-qubit states.
Using angular-position-orbital-angular-momentum entangled photons, we study angular two-photon interference in a scheme in which entangled photons are made to pass through apertures in the form of double angular slits, and using this scheme, we demonstrate an entangled two-qubit state that is based on the angular-position correlations of entangled photons. The entanglement of the two-qubit stat...
متن کاملMulticolor quantum metrology with entangled photons.
Entangled photons can be used to make measurements with an accuracy beyond that possible with classical light. While most implementations of quantum metrology have used states made up of a single color of photons, we show that entangled states of two colors can show supersensitivity to optical phase and path length by using a photonic crystal fiber source of photon pairs inside an interferomete...
