Abstract
We report our recent progress in the generation and verification of a transverse-mode Bell state using spontaneous four-wave mixing in a few-mode polarization-maintaining fiber. Utilizing spatial light modulators, we show control over individual four-wave mixing processes through precise beam shaping of the pump transverse mode and verify entanglement via quantum state tomography. We discuss challenges in temporal and frequency distinguishability and illustrate how they can be resolved. This work represents a first step towards creating a versatile fiber-based transverse mode-entangled photon-pair source matched to fiber infrastructure.
