Generation of multiple-particle cluster state via cavity QED

This paper proposes schemes for generating multiple-photon and multiple-atom cluster states, respectively. The schemes are based on the cavity input-output process and atomic or photonic states measurement, and the successful probabilities approach unity in the ideal case. The numerical simulations show that the produced multiple-particle cluster states have high fidelity even if the Lamb-Dicke condition is not satisfied. Some practical imperfections, such as atomic spontaneous emission and output coupling inefficiency, only decrease the success probability but exert no influence on the fidelity of generated multiple-particle cluster states. From the experimental point of view, smaller operation number and lack of need for individual addressing keeps the schemes easy to implement. These schemes may offer a promising approach to the generation of a large-scale cluster state.     

Robust schemes for the generation of multipartite entanglement for remote atoms with cross-Kerr nonlinearity

Based on the interference effect of indistinguishable polarized photons leaking out of separated cavities with each atom trapped in separate cavity, using quantum nondemolition detection, we propose the robust schemes for the generation of N-atom GHZ state, three-atom W state and four-atom cluster state with a certain success probability. In Lamb-Dicke limit, the schemes do not require the simultaneous click of the photon-detectors. These made the schemes more realizable in experiments. Meanwhile, the advantage of the scheme is that the fidelity of the entangled states is not affected by the atomic spontaneous, cavity decay, and imperfection of the photodetectors. The schemes would be useful steps towards long-distance quantum communication.     

Generation of Cluster States in Cavity QED

We propose two schemes for the generation of cluster states in the context of cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED）. In the first scheme, we prepare multi-cavity cluster states with information encoded in the coherent states. The second scheme is to generate multi-atom cluster states, where qubits axe represented by the states of cascade Rydberg atoms. Both the schemes axe based on the atom-cavity interaction and the atomic spontaneous radiation can be efficiently reduced since the cavity frequency is largely detuned from the atomic transition frequency.     

Effective scheme for generating cluster states in optical cavity QED

In this Letter, we propose a scheme to generate atomic cluster states in optical cavity QED. In the scheme, the atomic spontaneous emission is suppressed, and the fidelity is not affected by the imperfection of detection efficiency. We further research the successful probability and the fidelity via numerical simulation by considering the influence of the possible noise.     

Two Feasible Schemes for Preparing Cluster States with Ion-Trap Setup

We present two schemes for preparing cluster states with atomic qubits in an ion-trap system. In the first scheme an auxiliary atomic level is needed. While in the second scheme an additional classical driven field is used, and the multi-ion cluster states can be generated by one step. Both the schemes are insensitive to thermal motion of the ions, all the facilities used in them are well within state of the art.     

Preparation of Arbitrary Four-Qubit W State with Atomic Ensembles via Rydberg Blockade

The generation of various entangled states is an essential task in quantum information processing. Recently, a scheme （PRA 79, 022304） has been suggested for generating Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state and cluster state with atomic ensembles based on the Rydberg blockade. Using similar resources as the earlier scheme, here we propose an experimentally feasible scheme of preparing arbitrary four-qubit W class of maximally and non- maximally entangled states with atomic ensembles in a single step. Moreover, we carefully analyze the realistic noises and predict that four-qubit W states can be produced with high fidelity （F - 0.994） via our scheme.     

A note on approximate teleportation of an unknown atomic state in the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model

We consider recent schemes [J.M. Liu, B. Weng, Physica A 367 (2006) 215] to teleport unknown atomic states and superposition of zero- and two-photon states using the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model. Here we do the same using the “full two-photon Jaynes-Cumming”, valid for arbitrary average number of photons. The success probability and fidelity of this teleportation are also considered.     

Schemes for performance of displacing Hadamard gate with coherent states

We propose an approach with displaced states to use it for rotations of base coherent states and squeezed coherent states. Our approach is based on representation of the coherent states in free-traveling fields in terms of displaced number states with arbitrary amplitude of displacement. Two optical schemes are developed for construction of Hadamard gate for the base states. One of the optical schemes is based on alternation of photon additions and displacement operators (in general case, N-photon additions and N?1-displacements are required) to generate displaced squeezed even/odd superposition of coherent states (SCSs) with high fidelity in dependency on type (computational zero or one) of the base input state. Another optical scheme uses two-photon subtracted squeezed coherent states to approximate outcome of the Hadamard gate for the base squeezed coherent states. Output states approximate with high fidelity either even squeezed SCS or odd SCS shifted relative to each other by some value. It enables to adjust the optical scheme for construction of the Hadamard gate being mainframe element for quantum computation with basic squeezed coherent states.     

Generation of GHZ state and cluster state with atomic ensembles via the dipole-blockade mechanism

This paper proposes scalable schemes to generate the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state and the cluster state with atomic ensembles via the dipole blockade mechanism on an atom chip, where the qubit is not carried by a single atom but an atomic ensemble. In the protocols, multiqubit entangled states are determinately prepared. Needlessness for single-photon source further decreases the complexity of the experiment. Based on the present laboratory technique, the schemes may be realized. The achieved results reveal a prospect for large-scale quantum communication and quantum computation.     

Schemes for preparing atomic qubit cluster states in cavity QED

Two schemes are proposed for generating atomic qubits cluster states in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). In the first scheme, only two-atom-cavity interactions are involved, and cluster states can be directly generated by using constructed two-qubit controlled phase gates. The second scheme needs the assistance of additional single-qubit rotations, but takes less time than the first one for two-atom operations in the cavity. In this scheme, two projective operators are constructed to prepare two-dimension or more complicated configurations of cluster states. Both schemes are insensitive to the cavity decay due to the fact that the cavity is only virtually excited during the interaction between atoms and the cavity. The idea can also be applied to the ion trap system.     

Quantum leakage of collective excitations of atomic ensemble induced by spatial motion

We generalize the conception of quantum leakage for the atomic collective excitation states. By making use of the atomic coherence state approach, we study the influence of the atomic spatial motion on the symmetric collective states of 2-level atomic ensemble due to inhomogeneous coupling. In the macroscopic limit, we analyze the quantum decoherence of the collective atomic state by calculating the quantum leakage for a very large ensemble at a finite temperature. Our investigations show that the fidelity of the atomic system will not be good in the case of atom numberN→∞. Therefore, quantum leakage is an inevitable problem in using the atomic ensemble as a quantum information memory. The detailed calculations shed theoretical light on quantum processing using atomic ensemble collective qubit.     

Effective Scheme for Generating Cluster States in Cavity QED

We propose a scheme to prepare many two-mode cavities into one-dimensional cluster states in the context of cavity QED. The left-circularly polarized state and right-circularly polarized state of the cavity are encoded as the logic zero and one of the qubits. In the scheme, the atomic spontaneous emission is suppressed, and the fidelity is unaffected by the cavity decay on the assumption that the detection efficiencies of all the photondetectors are 1.     

Remote preparation of atomic and field cluster states from a pair of tri-partite GHZ states

We propose two simple and resource-economical schemes for remote preparation of four-partite atomic as well as cavity field cluster states.In the case of atomic state generation,we utilize simultaneous resonant and dispersive interactions of the two two-level atoms at the preparation station.Atoms involved in these interactions are individually pair-wise entangled into two different tri-partite GHZ states.After interaction,the passage of the atoms through a Ramsey zone and their subsequent detection completes the protocol.However,for field state generation we first copy the quantum information in the cavities to the atoms by resonant interactions and then adapt the same method as in the case of atomic state generation.The method can be generalised to remotely generate any arbitrary graph states in a straightforward manner.

Scheme for reliable realization of quantum logic gates for two atoms separately trapped in two distant cavities via optical fibers

An approach for realizing conditional phase gate for two atoms separately trapped in two distant cavities mediated by an optical fiber is proposed. Utilizing the adiabatic passage, the atomic spontaneous emission, and the decays of the fiber and cavities are avoided under certain condition. The effects of the losses in the fiber and cavities on the fidelity are analyzed. Moreover, our scheme is not restricted to Lamb-Dicke limit. We also generalize the approach to generate one-dimensional cluster state and entangled state for two collections of atoms.     

Generation of Multi-atom Asymmetric W State and Cluster State via Long-range Off-resonant Raman Coupling in Separate Cavities

We propose two schemes to generate multi-atom asymmetric W state and cluster state via long-range off-resonant Raman coupling for distant atoms trapped in separate cavities connected by optical fibers. In these schemes the cavity decay, atomic spontaneous emission, and fiber loss are efficiently suppressed because the effective long-range off-resonant interaction is mediated by the vacuum fields of the fiber and cavity and the total system evolves in the decoherence-free subspace in which no system is excited. Furthermore, the entanglement fidelities of the states are assessed showing that the effects of the deviation on the fidelities of the states are very small.

利用单个三粒子最大GHZ态或两个EPR态隐形传送任意三粒子GHZ态

提出利用单个三粒子最大Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ)态或两个Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR)态作为量子信道确定性隐形传送任意三粒子GHZ态的两个方案，并将方案推广至隐形传送任意n(n≥4)粒子GHZ态的情况.讨论了量子信道受噪声影响时隐形传态的保真度.研究发现，当作为量子信道的单个三粒子最大GHZ态受到噪声影响时，隐形传态的保真度仅与量子信道的纠缠度有关，而当作为量子信道的两个EPR态受到噪声影响时，隐形传态的保真度不仅与量子信道的纠缠度有关，还与待传送态的纠缠度有关.所提出的方案具有节省量子信道纠缠资源的特点. 关键词： 隐形传态 三粒子Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger态 量子逻辑门 保真度     

Effective scheme for generation of two-dimensional cluster states via quantum Zeno dynamics

We propose a scheme for preparation of two-dimensional cluster states of atoms, which is based on quantum Zeno dynamics. The influence of decoherence induced by spontaneous emission and the decay of cavity and optical fiber is considered by a straightforward numerical calculation. The results show that a relatively high fidelity of two-dimensional cluster states can be obtained according to the proposed scheme. In addition, it also provides with a scalable way to extend to prepare three-dimensional cluster states in a cubic model.     

Generation of atomic Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and cluster states through cavity-assisted interaction

This paper proposes a scalable scheme to generate n-atom GHZ states and cluster states by using the basic building block, i.e., a weak coherent optical pulse [α） being reflected successively from a single-atom cavity. In the schemes, coherent state of light is used instead of single photon source, homodyne measurement on coherent light is done kastead of single photon detection, and no need for individually addressing keeps the schemes easy to implement from the experimental point of view. The successful probabilities of our protocols approach unity in the ideal case.
