Generation of a χ-type four-atom entangled state

This paper proposes a scheme to generate a new χ-type four-atom entangled state for the first time by using linear optics elements, four one-sided cavities (one three-level atom) and a conventional photon detector. The linear optical elements and conventional photon detector are simple and accessible in experiments, which makes the scheme more feasible with current technology. In addition, the state |χ⁰⁰₃₂₁₄ with probability 1 can be generated as long as there is no photon loss.     

基于纠缠光子方法测量光电探测器量子效率的研究

光辐射传感器的定标是保证遥感数据精度及可利用价值的基础支撑技术。现行辐射定标方法都需要建立高精度初级标准及标准传递链，传递环节是误差的主要来源。纠缠光子理论为实现“无标准传递”的辐射定标开辟了崭新的技术途径。报道了在光子计数模式下利用非线性光学的非经典效应绝对定标光电探测器的新方法，测量是通过BBO非线性晶体的参量下转换形成的702nm简并的纠缠光子方法来实现的。实验测得光电倍增管在该波长处的量子效率，结果显示有0.1%的偏差。该方法本身具有绝对性，不依赖于任何外部定标的辐射标准。     

Continuum variable entangled state generated by an asymmetric beam splitter

For an asymmetric beam-splitter a new kind of entangled state is introduced, we then derive the integration measure with which such states can make up a complete and orthonormal representation in two-mode Fock space. We then show how to use in finding new squeezing operator and new squeezed state, whose generation can relies on the asymmetric beamsplitter.     

Active demultiplexing of single photons from a solid‐state source

A scheme for active temporal‐to‐spatial demultiplexing of single photons generated by a solid‐state source is introduced. The scheme scales quasi‐polynomially with photon number, providing a viable technological path for routing n photons in the one temporal stream from a single emitter to n different spatial modes. Active demultiplexing is demonstrated using a state‐of‐the‐art photon source—a quantum‐dot deterministically coupled to a micropillar cavity—and a custom‐built demultiplexer—a network of electro‐optically reconfigurable waveguides monolithically integrated in a lithium niobate chip. The measured demultiplexer performance can enable a six‐photon rate three orders of magnitude higher than the equivalent heralded SPDC source, providing a platform for intermediate quantum computation protocols.

     

Quantum entanglement of an entangled coherent state: Role of particle losses

We analyze entanglement properties of entangled coherent state （ECS）, ｜α,0） 1,2 ＋｜0,α） 1,2, with and without photon losses. By separating the coherent state into ]a） = co｜0） ＋ √-Co2｜α）, we derive exact results of the logarithmic negativity EN, which quantifies the degree of entanglement between the two bosonic modes. Without particle losses, E~ = 1 for the NOON state; while for the ECS, E jr increases from 0 to 1 as ｜α｜-→∞. In the presence of photon losses, we find that the ECS with large enough photon number is more robust than that of the NOON state. An optimal ECS is obtained by maximizing E~ with respect to l a 12.

A new optical scheme for teleportation of entangled coherent state

We propose a nearly perfect optical scheme for the quantum teleportation of entangled coherent states using optical devices such as nonlinear Kerr media, beam splitters, phase shifters, and photon detectors. Different from those previous schemes, our scheme needs only ``yes' or `no' measurements of the photon number of the related modes, i.e. nonzero- and zero-photon measurements, while in previous schemes one has to exactly identify the even or odd parity character of the photon numbers detected by detectors.

Generation of multipartite entangled states by cavity QED

We propose the methods of generating multipartite entanglement by considering the interaction of a system of N two-level atoms in M cavities of high quality factor with a strong classical driving field. It is shown that, with the cavity detuning, the applied driving field detuning and vacuum Rabi coupling, we can produce an entangled coherent state in two single-mode cavities and generate the entangled coherent cluster states in two bimodal vacuum cavities. Tuning these parameters also allows us to acquire the anti-Jaynes-Cummings （AJC） interaction, with which we can generate the maximally two-photon entangled states, and the two-atom and the two-photon entangled cluster states.     

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.

连续变量六组份和八组份星型Cluster纠缠态光场产生系统

Cluster纠缠态是执行单向量子计算的基本资源。星型Cluster态可用于构建量子信息网络。以非简并光学参变放大器产生的双模压缩态光场为基础,设计了产生连续变量六组份和八组份星型Cluster纠缠态光场的实验方案,并推导了相应的量子不可分判据。计算结果指出,当量子不可分判据中的增益因子取为1时,需要一定的初始压缩度才能制备星型Cluster纠缠态;但当选取最佳增益因子时,极低的压缩也能产生星型纠缠。计算为实验系统设计提供了直接参考。     

Deterministic generation of entangled photons by cavity-assisted interactions through adiabatic passage

We propose a deterministic scheme for generation of highly entangled photon states using a high-Q two-mode optical cavity and the dark state evolution. Because of the adiabatic operation, our proposal is robust to ambient noise, and the relevant dynamics is insensitive to the randomness of moderate fluctuations regarding experimental parameters. Our scheme not only works deterministically, but also has the advantage of achieving highly entangled photons by adiabatically increasing or decreasing the Rabi frequencies regarding the classical driving pulses, which would be practical in real implementation. Our scheme can also be extended to generation of multiphoton entanglement.

Fabrication of three‐dimensional photonic crystals in quantum‐dot‐based materials

Controlling spontaneous emission (SE) is of fundamental importance to a diverse range of photonic applications including but not limited to quantum optics, low power displays, solar energy harvesting and optical communications. Characterized by photonic bandgap (PBG) property, three‐dimensional (3D) photonic crystals (PCs) have emerged as a promising synthetic material, which can manipulate photons in much the same way as a semiconductor does to electrons. Emission tunable nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) are ideal point sources to be embedded into 3D PCs towards active devices. The challenge however lies in the combination of QDs with 3D PCs without degradation of their emission properties. Polymer materials stand out for this purpose due to their flexibility of incorporating active materials. Combining the versatile multi‐photon 3D micro‐fabrication techniques, active 3D PCs have been fabricated in polymer‐QD composites with demonstrated control of SE from QDs. With this milestone novel miniaturized photonic devices can thus be envisaged.     

与两等同Bell态纠缠原子相互作用光场的量子场熵

利用全量子理论,并通过数值计算,研究了初始处于Fock态的单模光场与两等同双能级纠缠原子单光子共振相互作用过程中单模光场量子场熵的时间演化特性.结果发现:当两原子初始处于第一种Bell态时,光场量子场熵的时间演化周期为π/g2(2n+1);随着初始光强的增大,光场与原子之间的量子纠缠现象减弱;特别是当时间t为演化周期的整数倍时,场－原子系统处于退纠缠状态.当两原子初始处于第二种Bell态时,光场量子场熵不随时间变化,恒为零.当两原子初始分别处于第三种和第四种Bell态时,光场量子场熵的时间演化曲线呈现不等幅周期振荡现象;并且随着初始光场光子数的增加,光场量子场熵的振荡周期逐渐增大,但振荡幅值逐渐减小.
