• Abstract summary: In urban environments, the quantum channel in the form of telecommunication optical fiber (confirming to ITU G.652D standards) are available. We investigate the possibility that for campus-type communications, entangled photons prepared in the Near-Infrared Range (NIR) can be transmitted successfully.

• Abstract: For practical quantum communications, the efficiency of the entire system (source, quantum channel and detectors) must be taken into account. In many urban environments, the quantum channel in the form of telecommunication optical fiber (confirming to ITU G.652D standards) are available, but the detectors in this range typically have low efficiency. We investigate the possibility that for campus-type communications, entangled photons prepared in the Near-Infrared Range (NIR) can be transmitted successfully while preserving polarization entanglement. We demonstrate the distribution of degenerate and non-degenerate entangled photon pairs of wavelength around 810 nm through standard telecommunication fiber. This technique benefits from the high efficiency of the NIR single photon detectors and the mature design of setups around 810 nm.. In this work, we obtain high quality entanglement (visibility is 94.8\% based on the raw data) after an overall distance of 12 km, corresponding to about -36 dB of fiber induced loss.

  Future quantum networks will rely on the ability to coherently transfer optically encoded quantum information between different wavelength bands. We introduce a photonic crystal fiber with a germanium-doped core featuring group velocity matching at 1550 nm, the telecoms C-band, and 920 nm. Large lengths of this fiber are used to achieve nanometer-scale frequency shifts between wavelengths around 920 nm with up to 79.4% internal conversion efficiency.
