Polarization stabilization of an urban telecom fiber link — •Jonas Meiers, Christian Haen, Stephan Kucera, and Jürgen Eschner — Universität des Saarlandes, Experimentalphysik, 66123 Saarbrücken

Many quantum network designs rely on glass fibers to transmit quantum information encoded into the polarization of photons [1]. Long glass fiber links, especially those deployed outside a laboratory environment are exposed to environmental influences that change the birefringence of the fiber and, as a result, the polarization of transmitted light [2], degrading the polarization-encoded information.

Here, we present the polarization stabilization of a 14 km long urban fiber link running through Saarbrücken, by utilizing lasers as polarization reference and a Gradient-Descent algorithm for error correction. This stabilization provides the necessary transmission process fidelity for quantum communication experiments, which we demonstrate by high-fidelity entanglement distribution with photon pair sources, or by quantum repeater operations.
