• Abstract: Quantum universal invariants of a Gaussian state's covariance matrix, which can be derived from intensity correlation moments, have been adopted to characterize the entanglement properties of Gaussian states via the positive partial transpose criterion, also known as the Peres-Horodecki separability criterion. Such intensity correlation moments enable the extraction of information about the covariance matrix without the need for a coherent local oscillator. Here, we experimentally detect the entanglement properties of multimode Gaussian states using high-order\,(up to sixth-order) intensity correlation moments. These multimode Gaussian states are prepared via spontaneous and cascaded parametric down-conversion pumped by a high-peak-energy pulsed laser. Their intensity correlation moments are measured using a pseudo-photon-number-resolving detector constructed through spatial multiplexing of 32 threshold superconducting nanowire single photon detectors. This method is successfully demonstrated for two-mode and three-mode Gaussian states and can be extended to $N$-mode Gaussian states with $N>3$.

• Towards a spectrally multiplexed quantum repeater [16.67624046004553]
  Extended quantum networks are based on quantum repeaters that often rely on entanglement in an efficient and heralded fashion over multiple network nodes. Many repeater architectures require multiplexed sources of entangled photon pairs, multiplexed quantum memories, and photon detection that distinguishes between the multiplexed modes. Here we demonstrate the concurrent employment of (1) spectrally multiplexed cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a nonlinear crystal; (2) a virtually-imaged phased array that enables mapping of spectral modes onto distinct spatial modes for frequency-selective detection; and (3) a cryogenically cooled Tm3+:LiNbO3 crystal that allows spectral filtering
