Entanglement Verification of Hyperentangled Photon Pairs...

We experimentally investigate the properties of hyperentangled states displaying simultaneous entanglement in multiple degrees of freedom and find that Bell tests beyond the standard Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality can reveal a higher-dimensional nature in a device-independent way. Specifically, we show that hyperentangled states possess more than just simultaneous entanglement in separate degrees of freedom but also entanglement in a higher-dimensional Hilbert space. We also verify the steerability of hyperentangled quantum states by steering different photonic degrees of freedom.
