A scheme is presented for the cavities.

Entanglement Dynamics of a Three-Level Atom in Ξ Configuration

Dynamical behaviour of entanglement between the cavity mode and a three-level atom in the configuration is studied by making use of log-negativity. The influence of initial temperature of the thermal field and detuning on the entanglement is investigated. It is found that the maximal values of entanglement decreases with the temperature of the thermal field and can be controlled by the defaming.     

Optical Four-Wave Mixing Operator, Fresnel Operators and Three-Mode Entangled State Representation

We analyse the optical four-wave mixing operator S and relate it to the two-mode Fresnel operator. It is shown that the direct product of the two-mode Fresnel operator and the single-mode Fresnel operator has a natural representation on the basis of a three-mode entangled state, which is constructed by S and a beam splitter transform.     

Entanglement Swapping of Pair Coherent States with Phase Decoherence

We investigate the entanglement swapping of continuous state and the two-mode squeezed vacuum which is exposed variable using the pair coherent state as the input in a phase decoherence environment as the quantum channel. By adopting the log-negativity as the measure of entanglement, we analyze how entanglement of the two initial states and the phase decoherence environment affect the entanglement swapping quality.     

Quantum Nonlocality and Entanglement of Pair Cat States with Phase Decoherence

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.     

Continuous-Variable Entanglement Transfer from Cavity Field to Two Mesoscopic Josephson Junctions

We consider a composite system of two remote mesoscopic dosephson junctions interacting locally with a two-mode non-classical cavity field and investigate entanglement transfer from a bipartite continuous-variable （CV） system to a pair of localized mesoscopic dosephson junctions. We obtain analytically the time-dependent characteristic functions in the Wigner representation for the two CV subsystems, where two cases are considered for the zero and finite temperatures. Furthermore, we analyse the influences of the temperature on the period recovery of the entanglement.     

Entanglement and Its Dynamics with Atomic Spontaneous Decay

The atomic decay for a two-level atom interacting with a single mode of electromagnetic tield is considered. For a chosen initial state, the exact solution of the master equation is found. Therefore, effect of the atomic damping on entanglement （purity loss）, degree of entanglement by the negativity, mutual information and atomic coherence through the master equation are studied.     

Combined Effect of Dissipation and Thermal Mixed State on Entanglement in the Dispersive Limit

We investigate the entanglement in the interacting system of a single mode thermal field and a single qubit with dissipation in the dispersive limit. The influence of initial temperature of thermal field and atoms on the entanglement is then examined.     

A Theoretical Scheme for Entanglement Transfer under Intensity-Dependent Couplings

We consider a theoretical scheme for entanglement transfer between a two-mode squeezed vacuum field and two initially separable atoms through intensity-dependent couplings. We find that the entanglement transfer between the field and the atoms has an exact period for any given squeezing. We also find that the maximum achievable entanglement of the atomic subsystem is a simple increasing function of r.For sufficiently large squeezing parameter r, it is possible for the atoms to be entangled into a Bell state at half the periodic time points.     

Preparation of Entanglement of Atoms and of Photons via Cavity Input-Output Process

We propose a method to prepare multipartite entangled states such as cluster states and graph states based on the cavity input-output process and single photon measurement. Two quantum gates, a controlled phase gate and a fusion gate between two atoms trapped in respective cavities, are proposed to prepare atomic cluster states and graph states with one and two dimensions. We also introduce a scheme that can generate an arbitrary multipartite photon duster state which uses two coherent states as a qubit basis.     

Simple Linear Optical ‘Binary Measurement Tree＇ for Single Photonic Polarization Qubit

Positive-operator-value-measurement （POVM） is one of the essential components of quantum information processing （ QIP）. Recently a ＇binary measurement tree＇ （BST） strategy （PRA 77, 052104） is suggested for implementing arbitrary POVM by sequential two-operator POVMs. We present a simple novel two-operator POVM module via linear optics, which is employed as block to construct a ＇binary measurement tree＇ for implementing arbitrary POVM on single photonic polarization qubit. The total complexity of the experimental setup is significantly reduced in contrast to the previous works. As an example, we give the detailed settings of a well-known POVM.     

Engineering of Two Quantum States via Conditional Measurement on Two-Mode Squeezed State

We propose a scheme for the simultaneously preparation radiation-field modes of a single photon and a superposition of zero- and one-photon states, based on the coherent quantum state displacement and photon subtraction from two-mode squeezed state. It is shown that the single-photon and the superposition states can be obtained by only choosing the suitable parameter of displacements. The experimental feasibility to accomplish this scheme is also discussed.     

Experimental Non-Local Generation of Entanglement from Independent Sources

We experimentally demonstrate a non-local generation of entanglement from two independent photonic sources in an ancilla-free process. Two bosons （photons） are entangled in polarization space by steering into a novel interferometer setup, in which they have never met each other. The entangled photons are delivered to polarization analyzers in different sites, respectively, and a non-local interaction is observed. Entanglement is further verified by the way of the measured violation of a CHSH type Bell＇s inequality with S-values of 2.54 and 27 standard deviations. Our results will shine a new light onto the understanding of how quantum mechanics works, have possible philosophic consequences on the one hand and provide an essential element for quantum information processing on the other hand. Potential applications of our results are briefly discussed.     

Entanglement sudden death in qubit-qutrit systems

We demonstrate the existence of entanglement sudden death (ESD), the complete loss of entanglement in finite time, in qubit-qutrit systems. In particular, ESD is shown to occur in such systems initially prepared in a one-parameter class of entangled mixed states and then subjected to local dephasing noise. Together with previous results, this proves the existence of ESD for some states in all quantum systems for which rigorously defined mixed-state entanglement measures have been identified. We conjecture that ESD exists in all quantum systems prepared in appropriate bipartite states.     

Continuous Variable Entanglement and Violation of Bell Inequality for Two Modes in a Three-Level Cascade Atomic System

Continuous variable entanglement and violation of Bell inequality for two modes are investigated in a three-level cascade atomic system. Entanglement of the system is demonstrated according to the entanglement criterion [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84 （2000）2722]. Violation of Bell inequality is studied within the framework of a quantum theory of multiwave mixing. It is shown that there are some states that are entangled but do not violate the Bell inequality.     

Deterministic generation of squeezing for a cavity field with a collection of driven atoms

We propose an efficient scheme for realizing squeezing for a cavity mode. In the scheme, a collection of ladder-type three-level atoms are trapped in a cavity and driven by two classical fields. Under certain conditions, the cavity field deterministically evolves to a squeezed state. The scheme can also be used for conditional generation of superpositions of different squeezed vacuum states.     

Concentration of Unknown Atomic Entangled States via Entanglement Swapping through Raman Interaction

We show that entanglement concentration of unknown atomic entangled states is achieved via the implementation of entanglement swapping based on Raman interaction in cavity QED. A maximally entangled state is obtained from a pair of partially entangled states probabilistically. Due to Raman interaction of two atoms with a cavity mode and an external driving field, the influence of atomic spontaneous emission has been eliminated. Because of the virtual excitation of the cavity mode, the decoherence of cavity decay and thermal field is neglected.     

Steady State Entanglement and Saturation Effects in Correlated Spontaneous Emission Lasers

It has recently been shown that correlated spontaneous emission lasers （CEL） exhibit transient entanglement in the linear regime. Here we re-examine the quantum correlations in two-photon CEL and explore the saturation effects on continuous variable entanglement. It is shown that the steady state entanglement is obtainable in the weak or moderate saturation regime, while is washed out in the deep saturation regime.
