Multiuser Time-Energy Entanglement Swapping Based on Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed and Sum-Frequency Generation

Perfect entanglement swapping, which can be realized without the postselection by using the nonlinear optical technology, provides an important way toward generating the large-scale quantum network. We explore an entanglement-swapping-based dense wavelength division multiplexed network in the experiment. Four users receive single quantum states at different wavelengths, and we perform a time-energy entanglement swapping operation based on the...
