The need for reliable, fiber-based sources of entangled and paired photons has intensified in recent years because of potential uses in optical quantum communication and computing. In particular, indistinguishable photon sources are an inherent part of several quantum communication protocols and are needed to establish the viability of quantum communication networks. This thesis is centered around the development of such sources at telecommunication-band wavelengths. In this thesis, we describe experiments on entangled photon generation and the creation of quantum logic gates in the C-band, and on photon indistinguishability in the O-band. These experiments utilize the four-wave mixing process in fiber which occurs as a result of the Kerr nonlinearity, to create paired photons. To begin, we report the development of a source of 1550-nm polarization entangled photons in fiber. We then interface this source with a quantum Controlled-NOT gate, which is a universal quantum logic gate. We set experimental bounds on the process fidelity of the Controlled-NOT gate. Next, we report a demonstration of quantum interference between 1310-nm photons produced in independent sources. We demonstrate high quantum interference visibility, a signature of quantum indistinguishability, while using distinguishable pump photons. Together, these efforts constitute preliminary steps toward establishing the viability of fiber-based quantum communication, which will allow us to utilize existing infrastructure for implementing quantum communication protocols.
