Three-Photon Polarization Entanglement of Green Light

Abstract

Recently, great progress has been made in the entanglement of multiple photons at various wavelengths and in different degrees of freedom for optical quantum information applied in diverse scenarios. However, multi-photon entanglement in the transmission window of green light under the water has not been reported yet. Here, by combining femtosecond laser based multi-photon entanglement and entanglement-maintaining frequency upconversion techniques, we successfully generate a green two-photon polarization-entangled Bell state and a green three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state, whose state fidelities are 0.893$\pm$0.002 and 0.595$\pm$0.023, respectively. Our result provides a scalable method to prepare green multi-photon entanglement, which may have wide applications in underwater quantum information.
