Spectrum analyzer traces as a function of the local oscillator phase. signals (these signals being themselves the difference between their respective photodiodes photocurrents, see Fig. 9.5). Let us consider the case where the waveplate Q3 is not present; for a given LO phase ψ1, the homodyne detections will give photocurrents which are proportional to the amplitude noise for the A+ beam, ˆq+, and to the phase noise for the A− beam, ˆp−. The signal recorded on spectrum analyzer SA2 is, in this case, proportional to ˆs = ˆq+ − ˆp− whose variance is 〈î 2 〉 = 〈ˆq 2 +〉 + 〈ˆp 2 −〉 − 2〈ˆq+ ˆp−〉 = a ′ + j ′ − 2d ′ . a ′ and j ′ being already known, it is easy to extract d ′ from this measurement. For a LO phase ψ1 + π/2, one will get using a similar procedure e ′ , h ′ and f ′ . Let us now add the wave plate Q3. For a LO phase ψ1, one will get a ′ , h ′ and c ′ and for ψ1 + π/2 e ′ , j ′ and g ′ thus completing the measurement of the CM. 9.2.4. Experimental measures of entanglement by the negativity As all experimental measurements, the measurement of the CM is subject to noise. It is thus critical to evaluate the influence of this noise on the entanglement. A quantitative analysis, relating the errors on the measured CM entries (in the A± basis) to the resulting error in the determination of the logarithmic negativity (the latter quantifying entanglement between the corresponding A1 and A2 modes) has been carried out and is summarized in Fig. 9.7 in absence of mode coupling. In general, the determination of the logarithmic negativity is much more sensitive to the errors on the diagonal 2×2 blocks α and β (referring to the reduced states of each mode) of the CM σ [see Eq. (2.53)] than to those on the off-diagonal ones (γ, and its transpose γ T , whose expectations are assumed to be null). Let us remark that the relative stability of the logarithmic negativity with respect to the uncertainties on the off-diagonal block adds to the reliability of our experimental estimates of the entanglement. Notice also that, concerning the diagonal blocks, the errors on diagonal (standard form) entries turn out to affect the precision of the logarithmic negativity more than the errors on off-diagonal (non standard form) entries. This behavior is reversed in the off-diagonal block, for which errors on the off-diagonal (non standard form) entries affect the uncertainty on the entanglement more than errors on the diagonal (standard form) entries.
