Here we propose a mechanism of generation of polarization-entangled photons, which is based on the nonlinear optical interaction (four-wave mixing) in graphene placed in a magnetic field. Unique properties of quantized electron states in a magnetized graphene and optical selection rules near the Dirac point give rise to a giant optical nonlinearity and a high rate of photon production in the mid/far-infrared range.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-09-24T00:41:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "78.67.Wj", "42.50.Ct", "42.65.Lm" ], "keywords": [ "strong magnetic field", "generation", "photon states attract tremendous interest", "entangled photon states attract", "quantum information" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2013, "month": "Feb", "volume": 110, "number": 7, "pages": "077404" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvL.110g7404T" } } }
