Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate the distribution of polarization-entangled photons between two laboratories connected by a 62-km, partially-aerial fiber. Using time-multiplexed active polarization stabilization, we maintain a pair rate of 1500 pairs per second over 24 hours and achieve an average CHSH value of S=2.39.
