Performance of hybrid entanglement photon pair source for quantum key distribution
M. Fujiwara, M. Toyoshima, M. Sasaki, K. Yoshino, Y. Nambu et al.
We report on the experimental demonstration of a source of hybrid entanglement pairs between two different degrees of freedom, a 1550 nm time-bin qubit and an 810 nm polarization qubit. The polarization qubit at 810 nm is transformed by an asymmetric MachZehnder interferometer consisted of a Glan la … [Appl. Phys. Lett. 95, 261103 (2009)] published Tue Dec 29, 2009.
