Demonstration of fully-connected quantum communication network exploiting entangled sideband modes

Quantum communication network scales point-to-point quantum communication protocols to more than two detached parties,which would permit a wide variety of quantum communication applications.Here,we demonstrate a fully-connected quantum communication network,exploiting three pairs of Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen(EPR)entangled sideband modes,with high degree entanglement of 8.0 dB,7.6 dB,and 7.2 dB.Each sideband modes from a squeezed field are spatially separated by demultiplexing operation,then recombining into new group according to network requirement.Each group of sideband modes are distributed to one of the parties via a single physical path,making sure each pair of parties build their own private communication links with high channel capacity better than any classical scheme.
