研究目的
Investigating the discrimination of entangled photon pairs from classical photons by utilizing the de Broglie wavelength, especially in mixed states where classical and quantum photons share the same wavelength, polarization, and propagation direction.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates the discrimination of entangled photon states from classical photons using their de Broglie wavelength, even when they share the same classical characteristics. This is achieved through quantum diffraction on an echelle grating, selecting diffraction orders prohibited for classical light. The findings pave the way for practical applications in quantum imaging and lithography, offering a method to purify quantum states in the presence of classical noise.
研究不足
The spatial correlation patterns are affected by residue pixel crosstalk and noise events, limiting the discrimination to non-collinear SPDC regimes. The temporal resolution may not be sufficient for long-duration measurements due to possible jitter and delay time variations.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment utilizes a mixed-state photon source, a quantum-classical discriminator (QCD) based on an echelle grating, and coincidence detection chains for recording temporal and spatial correlation patterns.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The source produces entangled photon pairs via spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in a PPKTP crystal, mixed with classical coherent states from lasers at 405 nm and 795 nm.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes a PPKTP crystal, volume Bragg grating (VBG) stabilized GaN diode laser, echelle grating (Thorlabs GE2550-0363), SuperEllen SPAD-array detector, and single-SPAD detector modules (ID Quantique id100-50).

4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The setup involves generating mixed photon states, diffracting them through an echelle grating, and analyzing the diffraction patterns with SPAD arrays for spatial and temporal correlations.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Spatial and temporal correlation patterns are analyzed to distinguish quantum from classical photons based on their diffraction at the de Broglie wavelength.
