| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Entangled photons have been popularized by quantum information technologies. Recently, however, a new application of the entangled photons to molecular science is burgeoning and attracts much attention. For the application to molecular science, ultraviolet frequency-entangled and ultra-short pulsed entangled photons, different from the conventional ones, are required to efficiently excite a molecule and to effectively avoid relaxation effects. In this study, we propose a new method for generating entangled photons utilizing a nanometal-microcavity system. We show that an ultraviolet frequency-entangled and ultra-short pulsed entangled photons can be generated by properly controlling size of nanometal and structure of cavity. We also show that the optical size of nanometal realizing the maximal degree of entanglement exists and the quantum correlation between two photons can be controlled.
