Generation of entangled photon states by using linear optical elements
Generation of entangled photon states by using linear optical elements
We present a scheme to generate the polarization-entangled two-photon state $1/\sqrt{2}(|H〉|V〉+|V〉|H〉),$ which is of much interest in the field of quantum information processing. Furthermore, we demonstrate the capability of this concept in respect of a generalization to entangle N-photon states for interferometry and lithography. This scheme requires single-photon sources, linear …
