Tomographic entanglement indicators in frequency combs and Talbot carpets.

Recent theoretical investigations on tomographic entanglement indicators have showcased the advantages of the tomographic approach in the context of continuous-variable (CV), spin and hybrid quantum systems. Direct estimation of entanglement using experimental data from the IBM quantum computing platform and NMR experiments have also been carried out in earlier work. A similar investigation in the context of CV systems is necessary to fully assess the utility of our tomographic approach. In this paper, we highlight the advantages of our approach in the context of experiments reported in the literature on two CV systems, namely, entangled Talbot carpets and biphoton frequency combs. We use the tomographic entanglement indicator to assess the extent of entanglement between a pair of Talbot carpets and demonstrate that this provides a simpler and more direct procedure compared to the one suggested in the experiment. We also establish that the tomograms corresponding to the two biphoton frequency combs carry clear entanglement signatures that distinguish between the two states.
