Down Conversion

We review recent theoretical and experimental works where are proposed and demonstrated how to use photon pairs created by spontaneous parametric down-conversion to generate entangled states of D-dimensional quantum systems, or qudits. This is the first demonstration of high-dimensional entanglement based on the intrinsic transverse momentum entanglement of the type-II down-converted photons. The qudit space is defined by an aperture made up of an opaque screen with D slits (paths), placed in the arms of the twin photons. By manipulating the pump beam profile we can prepare different entangled states of these possible paths. We focus our attention on an important case for applications in quantum information: the maximally entangled states. Experimental results for qudits with D=4 and D=8 are shown and measuring a two-photon conditional interference, we also demonstrate the nonclassical character of the correlations.

Down Conversion

We report an experiment to generate and propagate two entangled spatial qudits, [Formula: see text]-dimensional quantum systems, using spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The manipulation, via pump beam, of the transverse spatial correlation between the photon pairs is explored. Inserting apertures with [Formula: see text]-slits in the arms of the down-converted photons, we associate the qudit space with the [Formula: see text] possible paths followed by each photon. Experimental results for qudits with [Formula: see text] and 8 are shown. We demonstrate that the generated states cannot be classically correlated. We also show the propagation of entangled states of spatial qudits. Their free-space distribution is performed at the laboratory scale and the propagated states maintain a high fidelity with their original form.
