We report experimental distribution of time-bin entangled qubits over 50 km of optical fibers. Using actively stabilized preparation and measurement devices we demonstrate violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Bell inequality by more than 15 standard deviations without removing the detector noise. In addition we report a proof-of principle experiment of quantum key distribution over 50 km of optical fibers using entangled photon.

Entanglement distribution over 300 km of fiber.

The distribution of time-bin entangled photon pairs over 300 km of optical fiber is reported, confirming the violation of Bell's inequality by 2.9 standard deviations.

High-fidelity transmission of polarization encoded qubits from an entangled source over 100 km of fiber.

Measurements of the two-photon visibility have shown that the quantum correlations allow secure quantum cryptography after 100 km of non-zero dispersion shifted fiber using commercially available single photon detectors, and quantum state tomography has revealed little degradation of state negativity.

Distribution of time-energy entanglement over 100 km fiber using superconducting single-photon detectors.

This letter reports an experimental realization of distributing entangled photon pairs over 100 km of dispersion-shifted fiber and demonstrates that the distributed photon pairs can still be useful for quantum key distribution and other quantum communication tasks.

I report the first experiment on 1.5-mum band entanglement generation in a cooled fiber. Low-noise time-bin entangled photon pairs were successfully generated and distributed over 60 km of fiber with…

Wavelength-multiplexed distribution of highly entangled photon-pairs over optical fiber.

This work reports the first experimental demonstration of wavelength-multiplexed entanglement distribution over optical fiber, produced from a single pulse-pumped, short periodically-poled lithium niobate waveguide and distributed over 10 km of dispersion-shifted optical fiber.

Quantum communication experiments using telecom-band entangled photons

Implementation of quantum state tomography for time-bin entangled photon pairs.

The way to implement QST on time-bin entangled photon pairs using a 1-bit delayed interferometer is clarified and experimental results for a demonstration of QST for time- bins generated using spontaneous four-wave mixing in a dispersion shifted fiber are provided.
