Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Entanglement of Narrowband Photons from Cold Atoms
arXiv:1606.02036 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.117.250501
Abstract
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) entanglement introduced in 1935 deals with two particles that are entangled in their positions and momenta. Here we report the first experimental demonstration of EPR position-momentum entanglement of narrowband photon pairs generated from cold atoms. By using two-photon quantum ghost imaging and ghost interference, we demonstrate explicitly that the narrowband photon pairs violate the separability criterion, confirming EPR entanglement. We further demonstrate continuous variable EPR steering for positions and momenta of the two photons. Our new source of EPR-entangled narrowband photons is expected to play an essential role in spatially-multiplexed quantum information processing, such as, storage of quantum correlated images, quantum interface involving hyper-entangled photons, etc.
