Steering nonlocality in high-speed telecommunication system without detection loophole

Nonlocal correlation represents the key feature of quantum mechanics, and is an exploitable resource in quantum information processing. However, the loophole issues and the associated applicability compromises hamper the practical applications. We report the first time-bin entangled detection-loophole-free steering nonlocality demonstration in a fully chip-fiber telecommunication system, with an ultra-fast measurement switching rate (1.25 GHz). In this endeavor, we propose the phase-encoding measurement scheme to adapt the system to time-bin degree of freedom, and design and fabricate a low-loss silicon chip for efficient entanglement generation. An asymmetric configuration is introduced to mimic the active measurement implementation at the steering party thus bypassing the phase modulation loss. Consequently, we build a fiber-optic setup that can overcome the detection efficiency required by conclusive quantum steering with multiple actively switched measurement settings. Our setup presents an immediate platform for exploring applications based on steering nonlocality, especially for quantum communication.

Abstract

Nonlocal correlation represents the key feature of quantum mechanics, and is an exploitable resource in quantum information processing. However, the loophole issues and the associated applicability compromises hamper the practical applications. We report the first time-bin entangled detection-loophole-free steering nonlocality demonstration in a fully chip-fiber telecommunication system, with an ultra-fast measurement switching rate (1.25 GHz). In this endeavor, we propose the phase-encoding measurement scheme to adapt the system to time-bin degree of freedom, and design and fabricate a low-loss silicon chip for efficient entanglement generation. An asymmetric configuration is introduced to mimic the active measurement implementation at the steering party thus bypassing the phase modulation loss. Consequently, we build a fiber-optic setup that can overcome the detection efficiency required by conclusive quantum steering with multiple actively switched measurement settings. Our setup presents an immediate platform for exploring applications based on steering nonlocality, especially for quantum communication.
