摘要:

量子纠缠是量子信息处理的基本资源,而量子纠缠在远端的分配是量子通信中的一个关键挑战。增加纠缠的维数已被证明可以提高安全量子通信的鲁棒性和信道容量。在这里,我们报告的分布真正的高维纠缠通过一个1.2公里长的自由空间连接整个维也纳。我们利用超纠缠,即同时纠缠在偏振和能量-时间的基础上,编码量子信息,并观察高可见度的连续相关测量在每个自由度的干扰。这些维数分别对每个子空间中的纠缠施加了下界,并证明了超纠缠系统的四维纠缠。在现实世界的大气链路条件下,高维纠缠的高保真传输是实现更复杂量子系统的长距离量子通信和利用卫星链路实施先进量子实验的重要一步。

英文摘要:

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource in quantum information processing and its distribution between distant parties is a key challenge in quantum communications. Increasing the dimensionality of entanglement has been shown to improve robustness and channel capacities in secure quantum communications. Here we report on the distribution of genuine high-dimensional entanglement via a 1.2-km-long free-space link across Vienna. We exploit hyperentanglement, that is, simultaneous entanglement in polarization and energy-time bases, to encode quantum information, and observe high-visibility interference for successive correlation measurements in each degree of freedom. These visibilities impose lower bounds on entanglement in each subspace individually and certify four-dimensional entanglement for the hyperentangled system. The high-fidelity transmission of high-dimensional entanglement under real-world atmospheric link conditions represents an important step towards long-distance quantum communications with more complex quantum systems and the implementation of advanced quantum experiments with satellite links.
