Summary :

Entanglement is expected to play a crucial role in the next-generation quantum communication systems. This paper reviews recent quantum communication experiments over optical fiber using 1.5-µm telecom-band entangled photon pairs. After describing the telecom-band entanglement sources based on spontaneous parametric processes, we review three quantum communication experiments using entangled photons: a long-distance entanglement distribution, an entanglement-based quantum key distribution, and an entanglement swapping.
