Distribution of genuine high-dimensional entanglement over 10.2 km of noisy metropolitan atmosphere
arXiv:2301.05724 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.107.L050402
Abstract
In a recent quantum key distribution experiment, high-dimensional protocols were used to show an improved noise resistance over a 10.2 km free-space channel. One of the unresolved questions in this context is whether the communicating parties actually shared genuine high-dimensional entanglement. In this letter we introduce an improved discretisation and entanglement certification scheme for high-dimensional time-bin setups and apply it to the data obtained during the experiment. Our analysis answers the aforementioned question affirmatively and thus the experiment constitutes the first transmission of genuine high-dimensional entanglement in a single degree of freedom over a long-range free-space channel.
