Description
The goal of the project is to produce a pair of polarization-entangled light fields using four-wave mixing in hot Rb vapor. In this process, interaction of atoms with near-resonant strong control optical field results in strong amplification of a nearly-collinear probe optical field and in generation of a quantum correlated conjugate Stokes optical field. In order to establish the quantum correlation between the Stokes and probe fields, we have adopted a homodyne detection scheme. If the differential noise between the Stokes and probe fields is below the quantum noise limit, then intensity fluctuation entanglement has been achieved, and it is possible to produce the polarization Bell states.
