Experimental Four-photon Entanglement and High-fidelity Teleportation

We experimentally demonstrate observation of highly pure four-photon GHZ entanglement produced by parametric down-conversion and a projective measurement. At the same time this also demonstrates teleportation of entanglement with very high purity. Not only does the achieved high visibility enable various novel tests of quantum nonlocality, it also opens the possibility to experimentally investigate various quantum computation and communication schemes with linear optics. Our technique can in principle be used to produce entanglement of arbitrarily high order or, equivalently, teleportation and entanglement swapping over multiple stages.

Observation of three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger entanglement

We present the experimental observation of polarization entanglement for three spatially separated photons. Such states of more than two entangled particles, known as GHZ states, play a crucial role in fundamental tests of quantum mechanics versus local realism and in many quantum information and quantum computation schemes. Our experimental arrangement is such that we start with two pairs of entangled photons and register one photon in a way that any information as to which pair it belongs to is erased. The registered events at the detectors for the remaining three photons then exhibit the desired GHZ correlations.

A posteriori teleportation ?

Braunstein and Kimble observe correctly that, in the Innsbruck experiment, Nature 390, 575 (1997), one does not always observe a teleported photon conditioned on a coincidence recording at the Bell-state analyser. However, when a teleported photon appears, it has all the properties required by the teleportation protocol.
