Anisotropy of Two-Photon Entanglement: An Operational Assessment
摘要
The Fedorov parameter, which is the operational measure of entanglement of a two-component quantum system, has been experimentally measured. The influence of the degree of noncollinearity of the source of entangled photon pairs on this parameter, which can vary widely depending on the experimental conditions, has been examined. The results are in complete agreement with the previously proposed analytical estimate.
