Abstract
We report on the design of two plasmonic nanostructures and the propagation of
frequency-bin entangled photons through them. The experimental findings clearly
show the robustness of frequency-bin entanglement, which survives after
interactions with both a hybrid plasmo-photonic structure, and a nano-pillar
array. These results confirm that quantum states can be encoded into the
collective motion of a many-body electronic system without demolishing their
quantum nature, and pave the way towards applications of plasmonic structures in
quantum information.
