Entanglement Manipulation in a Quantum Chaotic Optical Fiber by Modifying its Geometry

Abstract

The effect of boundary deformation on the non-separable entanglement which appears in the classical elec- tromagnetic field is considered. A quantum chaotic billiard geometry is used to explore the influence of a mechanical modification of the optical fiber cross-sectional geometry on the production of non-separable entan- glement within classical fields. For the experimental realization of our idea, we propose an optical fiber with a cross section that belongs to the family of Robnik chaotic billiards. Our results show that a modification of the fiber geometry from a regular to a chaotic regime can enhance the transverse mode entanglement. Our proposal can be realized in a very simple experimental set-up which consists of a specially designed optical fiber where non-entangled light enters at the input end and entangled light propagates out at the output end after interacting with a fiber boundary that is known to generate chaotic behavior.
