摘要/Abstract

Abstract:

The quantum entangled photon-pair source, as an essential component of optical quantum systems, holds great potential for applications such as quantum teleportation, quantum computing, and quantum imaging. The current workhorse technique for preparing photon pairs involves performing spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) in bulk nonlinear crystals. However, the current power consumption and cost of preparing entangled photon-pair sources are relatively high, posing challenges to their integration and scalability. In this paper, we propose a low-power system model for the quantum entangled photon-pair source based on SPDC theory and phase matching technology. This model allows us to analyze the performance of each module and the influence of component characteristics on the overall system. In our experimental setup, we utilize a 5 mW laser diode and a typical type-II barium metaborate (BBO) crystal to prepare an entangled photon-pair source. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with the model, indicating a significant step towards achieving the goal of low-power and low-cost entangled photon-pair sources. This achievement not only contributes to the practical application of quantum entanglement lighting, but also paves the way for the widespread adoption of optical quantum systems in the future.
