Witnessing Continuous Variable Entanglement with Discrete Measurements    [PDF]

James Schneeloch, P. Ben Dixon, Gregory A. Howland, Curtis J. Broadbent, John C. Howell
In this Letter, we derive an entropic Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering inequality for continuous variable (CV) systems using only experimentally measured discrete probability distributions and details of the measurement apparatus. We use this inequality to witness entanglement between the positions and momenta of photon pairs generated in spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC). We examine the asymmetry between parties in this inequality, and show that this asymmetry can be used to reduce the technical requirements of experimental setups intended to witness entanglement. Furthermore, we develop a more stringent steering inequality that is symmetric between parties, and use it to witness symmetric EPR steering.
