Generation of entangled states of light using discrete solitons in waveguide arrays

Quantum Physics 2020-11-17 v1 Optics

Abstract

We study the quantum properties of light propagating through an array of coupled nonlinear waveguides and forming a discrete soliton. We demonstrate that it is possible to use certain types of quasi-solitons to form continuous variables entanglement between the certain pair of waveguides. This entanglement generation process occurs even with a very large number of photons in the laser field used, so it does not require a special material with an extremely high nonlinearity coefficient. Also absorption in the waveguide media does not influence it too much.
