Efficient generation and evaluation of single photons propagating in the multiple optical modes

In this talk, we report the experimental demonstration of direct and efficient verification of entanglement between two multimode-multiphoton systems (one photon in three modes and two photons in three modes) using just two sets of classical correlation tables with and without a discrete Fourier transformation of the optical modes, clearly demonstrating a dramatic reduction in the resources required for entanglement verification. We will also report a novel method to produce a multi-photon parallel state efficiently with reducing excess photon components using multiple heralding single photon sources and N x N active optical switch.
