A Three-Qubit State Entanglement Concentration Protocol Assisted by Two-Qubit Systems

In this paper we present an entanglement concentration protocol for enhancement of the amount of entanglement maximally in a three qubit non-maximally entangled state. We use a Bell state for this purpose. Here the speciality is that no non-local measurement involving more than one parties is involved in the protocol. It is shown that for obtaining best probability of success a maximally entangled Bell state must be used. The probability of success in our protocol increases with an increase in the amount of entanglement in the assisting Bell state, and is zero when the entanglement vanishes.     

Scheme for realizing entanglement concentration via generalized measurements

How to concentrate non-maximally entangled states for quantum communication is a fundamental problem in quantum information. In this paper, we will apply generalized measurements to entanglement concentration of known non-maximally entangled pure states in arbitrary dimensional system. How to design the generalized measurements for the unambiguous discrimination of linearly independent non-orthogonal states is crucial for the concentration of the known non-maximally entangled states. The result shows that, any known non-maximally entangled pure state (for arbitrary dimensional system) can be transformed to the maximally entangled state only by introducing a qubit as ancilla and a joint unitary transformation operation on one of the entangled particles and the ancilla. In addition, because the less entangled state of each fail round will be re-concentrated too, the entanglement waste during the concentration process will be greatly reduced.     

On Relativistic Quantum Information Properties of Entangled Wave Vectors of Massive Fermions

We study special relativistic effects on the entanglement between either spins or momenta of composite quantum systems of two spin- \frac12\frac{1}{2} massive particles, either indistinguishable or distinguishable, in inertial reference frames in relative motion. For the case of indistinguishable particles, we consider a balanced scenario where the momenta of the pair are well-defined but not maximally entangled in the rest frame while the spins of the pair are described by a one-parameter (η) family of entangled bipartite states. For the case of distinguishable particles, we consider an unbalanced scenario where the momenta of the pair are well-defined and maximally entangled in the rest frame while the spins of the pair are described by a one-parameter (ξ) family of non-maximally entangled bipartite states. In both cases, we show that neither the spin-spin (ss) nor the momentum-momentum (mm) entanglements quantified by means of Wootters’ concurrence are Lorentz invariant quantities: the total amount of entanglement regarded as the sum of these entanglements is not the same in different inertial moving frames. In particular, for any value of the entangling parameters, both ss and mm-entanglements are attenuated by Lorentz transformations and their parametric rates of change with respect to the entanglements observed in a rest frame have the same monotonic behavior. However, for indistinguishable (distinguishable) particles, the change in entanglement for the momenta is (is not) the same as the change in entanglement for spins. As a consequence, in both cases, no entanglement compensation between spin and momentum degrees of freedom occurs.     

Concentration of Non-maximally Entangled States via Entanglement Swapping in Cavity QED

Using the highly detuned interaction between Λ-type three-level atoms and coherent optical fields in cavity QED, we can create a maximally entangled state between an atom and a cavity mode from a non-maximally entangled atomic state and a non-maximally entangled coherent state via entanglement swapping. The averaged output entanglement of the scheme is the product of the initial two non-maximal entanglements rather than the sum of them. The impact made by the spontaneous emission from the atomic excited levels has been canceled here, which makes the current protocol more feasible.     

Practical scheme for non-postselection entanglement concentration using linear optical elements

We report a practical non-postselection entanglement concentration scheme in which a maximally entangled Bell-state photon pair is produced from two pairs of partially (or non-maximally) entangled photons. Since this scheme is built only upon linear optical elements and does not require photon-number resolving detectors, it has immediate applications in experimental implementations of various quantum information protocols which require two-photon Bell-states.     

Entanglement in non-Hermitian quantum theory

Entanglement is one of the key features of quantum world that has no classical counterpart. This arises due to the linear superposition principle and the tensor product structure of the Hilbert space when we deal with multiparticle systems. In this paper, we will introduce the notion of entanglement for quantum systems that are governed by non-Hermitian yet PT-symmetric Hamiltonians. We will show that maximally entangled states in usual quantum theory behave like non-maximally entangled states in PT-symmetric quantum theory. Furthermore, we will show how to create entanglement between two PT qubits using non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and discuss the entangling capability of such interaction Hamiltonians that are non-Hermitian in nature.     

Generalized tripartite scheme for sharing arbitrary 2n-qudit state

Utilizing three non-maximally entangled qutrit pairs as quantum channels, we first propose a generalized tripartite scheme for sharing an arbitrary two-qutrit state with generalized Bell-state measurements. In the scheme if and only if the two recipients collaborate together, they can recover the split qutrit state with the probability determined uniquely by the smallest coefficients of the non-maximally entangled pairs. Afterwards, we further extend the scheme for sharing an arbitrary 2n-qudit state by taking 3n non-maximally entangled qudit pairs as quantum channels. Moreover, the scheme success probability relative to the inherent entanglement in quantum channels and its structure is simply discussed.     

Transformation of bipartite non-maximally entangled states into a tripartite W state in cavity QED

We present two schemes for transforming bipartite non-maximally entangled states into a W state in cavity QED system, by using highly detuned interactions and the resonant interactions between two-level atoms and a single-mode cavity field. A tri-atom W state can be generated by adjusting the interaction times between atoms and the cavity mode. These schemes demonstrate that two bipartite non-maximally entangled states can be merged into a maximally entangled W state. So the scheme can, in some sense, be regarded as an entanglement concentration process. The experimental feasibility of the schemes is also discussed.     

Deterministic Frequency-Based Polarization Entanglement Concentration with the Multipartite Less-Hyperentangled State

A deterministic entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) is demonstrated in a multipartite less-hyperentangled system, containing the simultaneous entanglements in polarization and frequency degrees of freedom. The motivation is that the entangled system in frequency degree of freedom suffers little from the effects of the channel noise in optical fibers. Consequently, a maximally entangled system can be generated in polarization degree of freedom from the multipartite less-hyperentangled system with cross-Kerr nonlinearity. Compared with the conventional ECPs that have success probabilities less than one while iterating their recursive entanglement concentration processes several times to achieve a maximally entangled system in polarization degree of freedom, the present ECP can generate a maximally entangled system in polarization degree of freedom in two steps with a certainty. It may be useful for enhancing the efficiency of communications in long-distance quantum computation networks.     

Deterministic exact teleportation via two partially entangled pairs of particles

We present an explicit protocol for deterministic exact teleportation via two partially entangled pairs of particles. The protocol consists of a local generalized measurement described by a positive operator-valued measure, one-way classical communication, and a corresponding local unitary operation. We find the required generalized measurement, which can experimentally be realized by performing a unitary operation in the extended space and a conventional orthogonal measurement. A simple protocol for deterministic entanglement concentration is also obtained.
