Quantum correlations are at the heart of all quantum communication. In experimental data, such correlations can be investigated using the concept of effective entanglement [1, 2]. In a former experiment, we have witnessed the distribution of effective entanglement over a 2 km fiber channel [3]. We now present our results on the quantification of effective entanglement over a 40 km fiber channel. This long distance sets, to our knowledge, a new record for continuous-variable quantum communication.

In our system, non-orthogonal quantum states are sent through a fiber-based quantum channel. The signal is detected using simultaneous homodyne detection of conjugate quadratures. By analyzing the excess noise and the received signal amplitudes , we are able to estimate the amount of distributed effective entanglement [4], which provides insight into the limits of our experimental setup.
