Bipartite and tripartite continuous variable entanglement in a circular array of coupled optical waveguides

Abstract

Integrated optical systems have evolved into suitable platforms in the field of photonic quantum technologies. New technologies open up new possibilities for multimode quantum operations. Here we study how circularly coupled waveguide arrays generate bipartite and tripartite continuous-variable (CV) entanglement. We focus on the single-mode squeezed state as input to the circular array of the waveguide system. Our findings suggest that the circularly coupled arrays can be used to generate entangled sources in CV quantum technologies. So the generation of entanglement makes the circular arrays more critical for further investigation and in the applications of photonic CV quantum-information processing.
