Abstract
Hyper-entangled photon pairs are very promising in the quantum information field for enhancing the channel capacity in communication and improving compatibility for networks. Here we report on the experimental generation of a hyper-entangled photon pair at a wavelength of 795 nm and 1475 nm via the spontaneous four-wave mixing process in a cold 85Rb atomic ensemble. The photons in each pair generated are entangled in both the time-frequency and polarization degrees of freedom. Such hyper-entangled photon pairs with special wavelength have potential applications in high-dimensional quantum communication and quantum physics.
