英文摘要
We present the concept and development of a novel accelerator-based source of high-intensity quantum-entangled 511 keV gamma-ray pairs produced through positron-electron annihilation. The source leverages the unique capabilities of the proposed Jefferson Lab positron facility to generate polarized, high-current positron beams with a well-defined time structure. These beams enable the production of entangled annihilation photons at intensities far exceeding those available from conventional radioactive sources. The resulting gamma-ray pairs can be characterized using Compton polarimetry techniques, providing a powerful platform for precision studies of quantum entanglement. The combination of high intensity, controllable polarization, and precise timing also opens new opportunities in medical imaging, materials science, quantum information science, and spintronics. Compared with traditional radioactive sources, the proposed system offers orders-of-magnitude higher photon flux, tunable beam parameters, and unprecedented control of the annihilation process. We discuss the source design, methods for entanglement characterization, potential applications, and future development directions.
