Abstract

The generation of an bipartite entangled state of many photons in two spatial modes was discussed. The bipartite multiphoton entangled was created by stimulted parametric down conversion of strong laser pulses in a nonlinear crystal. Entanglement of up to 12 photons was detected by using positively of the partially transposed desity matrix and a newly derived criteria. Two orthogonal polarizations were separated by a fiber polarization beam splitter and was detected by by avalanche photodiodes (APD). It was observed that it is possible to explore quantum entanglement even after the state suffered losses and even with detectors that have limited photon number resolution.
