The long-range interaction between Rydberg-excited atoms endows a medium with large optical nonlinearity. Here, we demonstrate an optical switch to operate on a single photon from an entangled photon pair under a Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency configuration. With the presence of the Rydberg blockade effect, we switch on a gate field to make the atomic medium nontransparent thereby absorbing the single photon emitted from another atomic ensemble via the spontaneous fourwave mixing process. In contrast to the case without a gate field, more than 50% of the photons sent to the switch are blocked,and finally achieve an effective single-photon switch. There are on average 1-2 gate photons per effective blockade sphere in one gate pulse. This switching effect on a single entangled photon depends on the principal quantum number and the photon number of the gate field. Our experimental progress is significant in the quantum information process especially in controlling the interaction between Rydberg atoms and entangled photon pairs. 相似文献

针对目前没有合适的方法从产生方来表征纠缠量子微波信号的质量好坏, 提出了一种基于von Neumann熵的双路径纠缠量子微波信号生成质量评估方法. 利用双模压缩真空态描述了纠缠量子微波的信号格式, 给出了光子数与压缩参量之间的函数关系, 以熵评估纠缠态信号所占比例, 分析了熵与压缩参量和光子数之间的关系. 仿真结果表明, 纠缠量子微波信号中的光子数是由压缩参量决定的, 它们之间呈指数平方的规律性变化; 熵随着压缩参量的增大而减小, 但是减小的趋势越来越平缓, 近似呈负指数关系, 熵的极限值约为65%. 研究结果表明, 通过选择合适的压缩参量可以提高纠缠微波信号生成质量以满足实际需要, 因此, 本研究对于生成双路径纠缠量子微波电路参数选择、提高系统可用性提供了方法和依据. 相似文献

We present an entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) to concentrate arbitrary four-photon less-entangled cluster state into maximally entangled cluster state. Different from other ECPs for cluster state, we only exploit the single photon as auxiliary, which makes this protocol feasible and economic. In our ECP, the concentrated maximally entangled state can be retained for further application and the discarded state can be reused for a higher success probability. This ECP works with the help of cross-Kerr nonlinearity and conventional photon detectors. This ECP may be useful in future one-way quantum computation. 相似文献

We report on the preparation of entangled two mode squeezed states of yet unseen quality. Based on a measurement of the covariance
matrix we found a violation of the Reid and Drummond EPR-criterion at a value of only 0.36 ± 0.03 compared to the threshold
of 1. Furthermore, quantum state tomography was used to extract a single photon Fock state solely based on homodyne detection,
demonstrating the strong quantum features of this pair of laser-beams. The probability for a single photon in this ensemble
measurement exceeded 2/3. 相似文献

In this paper, we have presented and established a new theoretical formulation of photon optics based on photon path and Feynman path integral idea. We have used Feynman path integral approach to discuss Fraunhofer, Fresnel diffraction of single photon and entangled photon pairs by ultrasonic wave and obtained the following results: i) quantum state and probability distribution of single photon and entangled photon pairs by Fraunhofer and Fresnel ultrasonic diffraction, ii) oblique incidence Raman-Nath and Bragg diffraction conditions, iii) total correlation state and its probability distribution. Our calculation results are in agreement with the experiment results. Comparing one-photon and two-photon diffraction effects by ultrasonic waves, we have found that two-photon diffraction by ultrasonic waves is also a sub-wavelength diffraction. 相似文献

A photon source with high-dimensional entanglement is able to bring increasing capacity of information in quantum communication.The dimensionality is determined by the chosen degree of freedom of the photons and is limited by the complexity of the physical systems.Here we propose a new type of high-dimensional entangled photon source,generated via path-indistinguishable scheme from a two-dimensional atomic cloud,which is prepared in a magneto-optical trap.To verify the photon source,we demonstra... 相似文献

We propose an experimental scheme to realize the four-dimensional projective measurements tor a single photon. The photon polarization and time-energy provide the four-dimensional Hilbert space. Based on this scheme, we suggest an experiment to test the violation of Bell inequalities of four-dimensional systems. In addition, by virtue of a maximally entangled biphoton state, we also show that it is possible to construct a quantum key distribution channel that can provide two-bit key with one pair of entangled photons. 相似文献

An entangled coherent state(ECS) is one type of entanglement, which is widely discussed in the application of quantum information processing(QIP). In this paper, we propose an entanglement concentration protocol(ECP) to distill the maximally entangled W-type ECS from the partially entangled W-type ECS. In the ECP, we adopt the balanced beam splitter(BS) to make the parity check measurement. Our ECP is quite different from the conventional ECPs. After performing the ECP, not only can we obtain the maximally entangled ECS with some success probability, but also we can increase the amplitude of the coherent state. Therefore, it is especially useful in long-distance quantum communication, if the photon loss is considered. 相似文献

We demonstrate fast polarization and path control of photons at 1550?nm in lithium niobate waveguide devices using the electro-optic effect. We show heralded single photon state engineering, quantum interference, fast state preparation of two entangled photons, and feedback control of quantum interference. These results point the way to a single platform that will enable the integration of nonlinear single photon sources and fast reconfigurable circuits for future photonic quantum information science and technology. 相似文献

We present two schemes to generate frequency-multiplexed entangled (FME) single photons by coherently mapping photonic entanglement into and out of a quantum memory based on Raman interactions. By splitting a single photon and performing subsequent state transfer, we separate the generation of entanglement and its frequency conversion, and find that the both progresses have the characteristic of inherent determinacy. Our theory can reproduce the prominent features of observed results including pulse shapes and the condition for deterministically generating the FME single photons. The schemes are suitable for the entangled photon pairs with a wider frequency range, and could be immune to the photon loss originating from cavity-mode damping, spontaneous emission, and the dephasing due to atomic thermal motion. The sources might have significant applications in wavelength-division-multiplexing quantum key distribution. 相似文献

We propose a practical entanglement concentration protocol(ECP) for a hybrid entangled state using quantum dots and a microcavity coupled system.A hybrid less-entangled state can be concentrated to a most-entangled state with a certain probability using only one ancillary single photon.Moreover,using this protocol,we can also concentrate an arbitrary three-particle less-entangled W state using two ancillary photons and classical communication.The proposed protocols provide us with a useful method to concentrate less-entangled states,which can be implemented with current technology. 相似文献

纠缠微波信号是电磁场微波频段量子特性的体现.在总结了现有纠缠微波信号产生及验证实验的基础上,针对目前没有统一的表达式来描述纠缠微波信号格式的问题,通过深入分析纠缠微波信号的特性,提出了两种纠缠微波信号的表示方法.一种是在量子框架下,利用双模压缩真空态表示,并分别在光子数表象下和Wigner分布下分析了其信号特征,刻画了正交分量之间的正反关联特性;另一种是在经典框架下,利用关联随机信号表示,刻画了测量后纠缠微波信号场幅度正交分量随时间变化的波形图.两种表示恰当合理地反映了纠缠微波信号连续变量纠缠的特性. 相似文献

We report on an ultrabright beamlike source of polarization-entangled photon pairs that is suitable for the task of multiphoton quantum information processing. The photon pairs are generated from a beamlike type-II parametric downconversion process in two adjacently located but 180 degrees rotated beta-barium borate crystals. Approximately 30,000 s(-1) entangled photon pairs are recorded experimentally with only 100 mW pump power. The fidelity of the generated entangled state as compared with a Bell state is measured to be 0.974 with the method of quantum state tomography. With this source, we also obtain a violation of Bell's inequality by 61 standard deviations in just a few seconds. 相似文献

We propose a simple experimental scheme to prepare a type of
four-photon entangled state |χ〉 that has many interesting
entanglement properties and possible applications in quantum
information processing with a certain success probability. The
proposed setup involves only simple linear optical devices, a
single-photon polarization state, three pairs of two-photon
polarization entangled states, and the conventional photon detectors
that cannot distinguish a single photon from two or more photons,
which greatly simplify the experimental realization of the scheme. 相似文献

We study optical schemes for generating both a displaced photon and a displaced qubit via conditional measurement. Combining one mode prepared in different microscopic states (one-mode qubit, single photon, vacuum state) and another mode in macroscopic states (coherent state, single photon added coherent state), a conditional state in the other output mode exhibits properties of a superposition of the displaced vacuum and a single photon. We propose to use the displaced qubit and entangled states composed of the displaced photon as components for quantum information processing. Basic states of such a qubit are distinguishable from each other with high fidelity. We show that the qubit reveals both microscopic and macroscopic properties. Entangled displaced states with a coherent phase as an additional degree of freedom are introduced. We show that additional degree of freedom enables to implement complete Bell state measurement of the entangled displaced photon states. 相似文献

In this paper, an experiment of quantum diffraction of position-momentum entangled photons from a straight sharp edge is presented. Path of a single photon of an entangled pair is partially blocked by a sharp edge whereas the other photon is detected at a stationary location without revealing the which-path information of the other photon. Quantum diffraction pattern of the sharp edge is revealed only in the correlated conditional detection of spatially separated photons and no diffraction pattern is formed in local detections of individual photons. Theoretical analysis of the quantum diffraction of position-momentum entangled photons from a sharp edge is also presented in this paper. Experimental measurements of the quantum diffraction pattern are compared with theoretically calculated quantum diffraction pattern of position-momentum entangled photons. 相似文献
