Versatile shaper-assisted discretization of energy-time entangled photons

Abstract

We demonstrate the capability to discretize the frequency spectrum of broadband energy-time entangled photons by means of a spatial light modulator to encode qudits in various bases. Exemplarily, we implement three different discretization schemes, namely frequency bins, time bins and Schmidt modes. Entangled qudits up to dimension d=4d=4 are then revealed by two-photon interference experiments with visibilities violating a dd-dimensional Bell inequality.Comment: 22 pages, 11 figure
