Abstract
We present a feasible and efficient scheme, and its proof-of-principle demonstration, of creating “event-ready” polarization-entangled photon pairs using only simple linear optical elements and single photons. The quality of entangled photon pairs produced in our experiment is confirmed by a strict violation of Bell’s inequality. This scheme and the associated experimental techniques present a step toward linear optics quantum computation.Keywords
