Entanglement of macroscopic Bell states

摘要

In this work we focus our attention on the correlation properties of a new class of bright nonclassi-cal states of light, which are called the macroscopic Bell states [1,2]. These states are of interest in quantum optics due to their rarely combined two properties: brightness and quantumness. Recently we have investigated the polarization properties of these states, namely we have shown that the macroscopic singlet state is absolutely unpolarized and free of polarization noise [2], while the triplet states reveal the effect of hidden polarization [3]. Now we experimentally prove that both singlet and triplet macroscopic Bell states are entangled.
