利用纠缠密度研究光子禁带系统的纠缠演化特性

研究了一个二能级原子在光子禁带模型中的原子与热库间及热库模式间的纠缠动力学行为.利用全局纠缠的方法,引出与热库模式相关的纠缠密度.研究发现,当禁带是完美带隙时,会出现稳态原子布居数俘获现象,从而抑制原子的自发辐射效应,防止了信息传输过程中信息的流失.原子与热库模式之间的纠缠密度以及热库模式与模式之间的纠缠密度会随着原子与热库之间耦合强度的增加而增大.当取长时极限时,原子与热库模式之间的纠缠减为零.热库模式与模式之间在强耦合情况下,由于拉比分裂的作用,在两个对称模式间会形成较强的纠缠;在弱耦合情况下,只能在中心频率处形成纠缠.

Entanglement and Photon Anti-Bunching in Coupled Non-Degenerate Parametric Oscillators

We analytically and numerically show that the Hillery-Zubairy’s entanglement criterion is satisfied both below and above the threshold of coupled non-degenerate optical parametric oscillators (NOPOs) with strong nonlinear gain saturation and dissipative linear coupling. We investigated two cases: for large pump mode dissipation, below-threshold entanglement is possible only when the parametric interaction has an enough detuning among the signal, idler, and pump photon modes. On the other hand, for a large dissipative coupling, below-threshold entanglement is possible even when there is no detuning in the parametric interaction. In both cases, a non-Gaussian state entanglement criterion is satisfied even at the threshold. Recent progress in nano-photonic devices might make it possible to experimentally demonstrate this phase transition in a coherent XY machine with quantum correlations.

Entanglement diversion and quantum teleportation of entangled coherent states

The proposals on entanglement diversion and quantum teleportation of entangled coherent states are presented.In these proposals, the entanglement between two coherent states, $|\alpha\rangle$ and $|-\alpha\rangle$, with the same amplitude but a phase difference of $\pi$ is utilized as a quantum channel. The processes of the entanglement diversion and the teleportation are achieved by using the 50/50 symmetric beam splitters, the phase shifters and the photodetectors with the help of classical information.     

Efficient entanglement purification in quantum repeaters

We present an efficient entanglement purification protocol(EPP) with controlled-not(CNOT) gates and linear optics.With the CNOT gates,our EPP can reach a higher fidelity than the conventional one.Moreover,it does not require the fidelity of the initial mixed state to satisfy F > 1/2.If the initial state is not entangled,it still can be purified.With the linear optics,this protocol can get pure maximally entangled pairs with some probabilities.Meanwhile,it can be used to purify the entanglement between the atomic ensembles in distant locations.This protocol may be useful in long-distance quantum communication.

Universal Global Cloning of Continuous Variables Entanglement

It is impossible to perfectly duplicate an unknown entangled state while preserving inseparability, which is known as the entanglement no-cloning principle. Nevertheless, approximate cloning of entanglement is allowed by quantum mechanics. A universal entanglement cloning machine (UECM) duplicates an entangled state such that the quality of its entanglement replicas does not depend on the input. To duplicate entanglement shared between two parties, 1-to-N universal local entanglement cloning machine (ULECM) has already been proposed (Weedbrook, et al., Phys. Rev. A, 77, 052313 (2008)), which employs two local UECMs to copy each party of the entangled state. However, the ULECM can never preserve the inseparability in its replicas. Here, a 1-to-N universal global entanglement cloning machine (UGECM) that takes the entire entangled state as the input and then globally clone it to produce replicas is proposed. It is demonstrated that the UGECM outperforms the ULECM both in terms of the fidelity and the inseparability preservation. In addition, the UGECM is of more simple and easy structure, compared with the UGECM. Such a UGECM may find its new applications in quantum entanglement broadcasting.

Preparation and Analysis of Two-Dimensional Four-Qubit Entangled States with Photon Polarization and Spatial Path

Entanglement states serve as the central resource for a number of important applications in quantum information science, including quantum key distribution, quantum precision measurement, and quantum computing. In pursuit of more promising applications, efforts have been made to generate entangled states with more qubits. However, the efficient creation of a high-fidelity multiparticle entanglement remains an outstanding challenge due to the difficulty that increases exponentially with the number of particles. We design an interferometer that is capable of coupling the polarization and spatial paths of photons and prepare 2-D four-qubit GHZ entanglement states. Using quantum state tomography, entanglement witness, and the violation of Ardehali inequality against local realism, the properties of the prepared 2-D four-qubit entangled state are analyzed. The experimental results show that the prepared four-photon system is an entangled state with high fidelity.
