电子自旋辅助实现光子偏振态的量子纠缠浓缩

量子纠缠浓缩可以将非最大的纠缠态转变为最大纠缠态,提高量子通信的安全性.本文基于圆偏振光和量子点-腔系统的相互作用,用一个单光子作为连接远距离纠缠光子对的桥梁,在理想条件下实现了光子偏振纠缠态的浓缩.计算结果显示,这个纠缠浓缩方案在考虑耦合强度和腔泄漏的情况下也可以保持较高的保真度,而且不需要知道部分纠缠态的初始信息,也不必重复执行纠缠浓缩过程.这不仅提高了量子纠缠浓缩的安全性,也有助于通过消耗最少的量子资源来实现高效的量子信息处理.

Generating maximum entanglement under asymmetric couplings to surface plasmons

Generating entangled states is a vital ingredient for quantum information engineering. Here, we investigate the entanglement generation between two quantum dots coupled to nanoring surface plasmons with asymmetric coupling strength g(1) and g(2). The dynamics of concurrence C is obtained by solving the corresponding master equation. High entanglement can be generated at appropriate times through the scatterings of the incident field and its scattered field. Furthermore, we find that maximum entanglement can be created when r≡g(1)/g(2) is the ratio of odd numbers. Contrary to intuition, relative high entanglement (C?1) can remain even if the ratio r is far off the required values, which is useful in real experiments.

Thermal entanglement and teleportation of a thermally mixed entangled state of a Heisenberg chain through a Werner state

The thermal entanglement and teleportation of a thermally mixed entangled state of a two-qubit Heisenberg XXX chain under the Dzyaloshinski Moriya （DM） anisotropic antisymmetric interaction through a noisy quantum channel given by a Werner state is investigated. The dependences of the thermal entanglement of the teleported state on the DM coupling constant, the temperature and the entanglement of tbe noisy quantum channel are studied }n detail for both the ferromagnetic and the antiferromagnetic cases. The result shows that a minimum entanglement of the noisy quantum channel must be provided in order to realize the entanglement teleportation. The values of fidelity of the teleported state are also studied for these two cases. It is found that under certain conditions, we can transfer an initial state with a better fidelity than that for any classical communication protocol.

Creation of Multipartite Entanglement and Entanglement Transfer via Heisenberg Interaction

We discuss how to create multipartite entanglement. By coupling a new particle with entangled particles via Heisenberg interaction between two particles, we can prepare three-particle entangled states. For some special coupling strength, entanglement transfer can be achieved from entangled pair AB to particles A and C that never interact by coupling particle C with particle B, which can be used to create entanglement between two separated particles.     

Entanglement Dynamics of a Generic-Spin Model

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a generic-spin model with weak external field. We first derive the time-dependent solutions of angular momentum operators with short-time approximation and then numerically calculate the entangled witness. It’s shown that one can dynamically generate quantum entanglement by adjusting coupling strength.     

Entangled Bell states of two electrons in coupled quantum dots—phonon decoherence

We demonstrate coupling and entangling of quantum states in a pair of vertically aligned self assembled quantum dots by studying the dynamics of two interacting electrons driven by external electric field. The present entanglement involves the spatial degree of freedom for the two electrons system. We show that system of two interacting electrons initially delocalized (localized each in one dot) oscillate slowly in response to electric field, since the strong Coulomb repulsion makes them behaving so. We use an explicit formula for the entanglement of formation of two qubit in terms of the concurrence of the density operator. In ideal situations, entangled quantum states would not decohere during processing and transmission of quantum information. However, real quantum systems will inevitably be influenced by surrounding environments. We discuss the degree of entanglement of this system in which we introduce the decoherence effect caused by the acoustic phonon. In this entangled states proposal, the decohering time depends on the external parameters.     

Higher dimensional entangled qudits in a trapped three-level ion

Quantum entangled states in a system of trapped three-level ion interacting with two laser beams in Λ (Lambda) configuration is investigated. We have characterized a typical family of initial conditions for their potential to generate quantum entanglement of internal and external degrees of freedom of the ion. It is found that entangled qudits, specifially qutrits and quadrits, can be optimally for a certain preparation of the ionic system. Analytical results, describing the quantum entangled state explicity, are presented. The amount of quantum entanglement is quantified directly by calculating the generalized concurrence for arbitrary qudits. It is obtained that higher dimensional entanglement can be established with the Lamb-Dicke parameter (LDP). The LDP dependence of Schmidt coefficients is shown.

Entanglement in a generalized Jaynes--Cummings model

We investigate the pairwise entanglement and global entanglement in a generalized Jaynes--Cummings model, which can be used to realize Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger (GHZ) entangled state (Zheng S B 2001 {\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 87} 230404). Our results show that the W-type entangled states cannot be generated based on the model. The dependences of entanglement on Rabi frequency $\lambda$ and dipole--dipole coupling strength ${\it \Omega}$ are given. It is found that there exists the quantum phase transition when $\lambda={\it \Omega}$. For typical experimental data, the critical temperature for pairwise entanglement is on the order of $10^{-6}$\,K. Based on these results, two strategies that overcome decoherence are proposed.     

Effect of excess noise on continuous variable entanglement sudden death and Gaussian quantum discord

A symmetric two-mode Gaussian entangled state is used to investigate the effect of excess noise on entanglement sudden death and Gaussian quantum discord with continuous variables. The results show that the excess noise in the channel can lead to entanglement sudden death of a symmetric two-mode Gaussian entangled state, while Gaussian quantum discord never vanishes. As a practical application, the security of a quantum key distribution （QKD） scheme based on a symmetric two-mode Gaussian entangled state against collective Gaussian attacks is analyzed. The calculation results show that the secret key cannot be distilled when entanglement vanishes and only quantum discord exists in such a QKD scheme.     

Two-mode excited entangled coherent states and their entanglement properties

This paper introduces two types of two-mode excited entangled coherent states (TMEECSs) |Ψ_±(α,m,n)>, studies their entanglement characteristics, and investigates the influence of photon excitations on quantum entanglement. It shows that for the state |Ψ₊(α,m,m)> the two-mode photon excitations affect seriously entanglement character while the state |Ψ_-(α,m,m)> is always a maximally entangled state, and shows how such states can be produced by using cavity quantum electrodynamics and quantum measurements. It finds that the entanglement amount of the TMEECSs is larger than that of the single-mode excited entangled coherent states with the same photon excitation number.     

Nonsymmetric entanglement of atomic ensembles

The entanglement of multiatom quantum states is considered. In order to cancel noise due to inhomogeneous light-atom coupling, the concept of matched multiatom observables is proposed. As a means to eliminate an important form of decoherence this idea should be of broad relevance for quantum information processing with atomic ensembles. The general approach is illustrated on the example of rotation angle measurement, and it is shown that the multiatom states that were thought to be only weakly entangled can exhibit near-maximum entanglement.     

Entanglement Swapping for Cluster-Class States and Its Applications in Quantum Information Processing

Entanglement swapping for four-qubit cluster-class states is studied. It is shown that a four-qubit cluster state (maximally entangled) can be obtained with a certain probability from two four-qubit cluster-class states by entanglement swapping. The probability is related to the smallest superposition coefficient of the cluster-class states (when all the moduli of amplitudes are equivalent, they are the usual cluster states and the probability hits to one). Two examples for the applications of the entanglement swapping are also presented. One is quantum teleportation of an arbitrary two-qubit state via a quantum repeater, in which the success probability can be improved by the entanglement swapping when the quantum channels are general cluster-class states (partially entangled). The other is quantum key distribution, in which a secret random sequence of bits (a “key”) can be efficiently established between two distant parties by the entanglement swapping of two groups of cluster states.     

Entanglement properties of atoms in the Kerr-nonlinear blackbody

We study the entanglement properties of two-qubits and multi-qubits interacting with local reservoirs in Kerr-nonlinear blackbody (KNB). Death and birth of the entanglement can be controlled by adjusting the temperature T and the coupling coefficient γ in KNB. For initial entangled states with local thermal reservoirs, we also demonstrate that the system always becomes disentangled for a finite time at finite temperature T. General conditions are derived under which entanglement sudden death (ESD) can be hastened, delayed or averted. Therefore, our results provide a clear clue on how to preserve the entanglement for quantum information processing in a given KNB environments.
