Abstract
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 sum-frequency generation to make users fully connected in the network. The results show that the fidelity of the entangled state is larger than 90% and is independent of the number of users. Our Letter demonstrates the feasibility of a proposed multiuser network, and hence paves a route toward a variety of quantum applications, including entanglement-swapping-based quantum direct communication.
