    Abstract

    Based on the theory of Kolmogorov oceanic turbulence spectrum and quantum optics, the theoretical model that the spatial two-qubit photons entangled states prepared by parametric down-converted propagate through the Kolmogorov oceanic turbulence is constructed. The theoretical expressions for entanglement degradation of the spatial two-qubit photons entangled states in oceanic turbulence are obtained. Then, using the Wootters's concurrence, the influence of Kolmogorov oceanic turbulence on the spatial two-qubit photons entangled states with numerical simulation is analyzed. The results show that the parameters of the laboratory device which are prepared the spatial two-qubit entangled states will make a great impact on the entanglement. And the smaller separation of two signal (idler) apertures or the separation between the two signal and the idler apertures is, the higher fidelity of the spatial two-qubit photon entangled states is. The entanglement of spatial two-qubit states can well maintain in the salinity-induced oceanic turbulence when the rate of dissipation of mean-square temperature is small and the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid is big with numerical calculation. These results have important significance for long distance underwater quantum communication via quantum entangled channel.
