Creating and Manipulating High-Dimensional Photonic Entanglement
Abstract
Complex quantum communication protocols requiring many qubits are fundamentally limited by the transmission loss of photonic information. One way to overcome this obstacle is to encode many qubits onto a single photon. For example, by encoding ten qubits per photon into a two-photon, 20-qubit maximally entangled state the success probability of a quantum communication protocol can be increased by over five orders of magnitude when compared to a 20-photon, 20-qubit implementation. In order for this approach to be successful, however, novel methods for creating, manipulating, and measuring high-dimensional photonic quantum information must be developed.
