Generation of two-photon states with arbitrary degree of entanglement via nonlinear crystal superlattices
摘要:
我们展示了一种通用的方法工程的联合量子态的光子对产生的自发参量下转换(PDC)。该方法利用非线性和线性材料的超晶格结构,结合宽带泵浦,操纵信号和闲频光子相对于泵浦脉冲的群延迟,并实现了所产生的对具有任意纠缠度的联合光谱振幅。这种群延迟工程方法具有合成广泛的状态的潜力,包括对量子网络至关重要的可因子化状态和对Hong-Ou-Mandel干涉术优化的状态。后一种情况下的实验结果,说明这种方法的原则。
英文摘要:
We demonstrate a general method of engineering the joint quantum state of photon pairs produced in spontaneous parametric downconversion (PDC). The method makes use of a superlattice structure of nonlinear and linear materials, in conjunction with a broadband pump, to manipulate the group delays of the signal and idler photons relative to the pump pulse, and realizes a joint spectral amplitude with arbitrary degree of entanglement for the generated pairs. This method of group delay engineering has the potential of synthesizing a broad range of states including factorizable states crucial for quantum networking and states optimized for Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry. Experimental results for the latter case are presented, illustrating the principles of this approach.
