Experimental preparation of entangled Bell's vacuum-single exciton and vacuum-biexciton states for pair centers of neodymium ions in a crystal

The process of low temperature laser excitation of neodymium ion M pair centers in CaF2 crystals at the 4I9/2-4G5/2 optical transition is analyzed. It is shown that maximally entangled Bell's vacuum-single exciton and vacuum-biexciton states are experimentally prepared when irradiating these crystals by nanosecond laser pulses.
