Biphoton entanglement of topologically-distinct modes

Quantum Physics 2022-03-01 v1 Optics

Abstract

The robust generation and manipulation of entangled multiphoton states on-chip has an essential role in quantum computation and communication. Lattice topology has emerged as a means of protecting photonic states from disorder but entanglement across different topologies remained unexplored. We report biphoton entanglement between topologically distinct spatial modes in a bipartite array of silicon waveguides. The results highlight topology as an additional degree of freedom for entanglement and open avenues for investigating information teleportation between trivial and topological modes.
