Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate the distribution of polarization-entangled photons across a 62-km, partially-aerial fiber. With polarization stabilization applied to the fiber link, we achieve a photon pair rate of approximately 1500 per second and observe a CHSH inequality violation with S=2.34.
