Teleportation of N-Particle Entangled GHZ State via Entanglement Swapping

In this scheme, N non-maximally entangled particle pairs are used as quantum channel to teleport an unknown N-particle entangled GHZ state via entanglement swapping. In order to realize this teleportation, the sender Alice operates Bell-state measurement on particles belonging to herself. Then she informs the results to the receiver Bob through classical communication. According to the results, Bob operates corresponding transformation to reconstruct the initial state. The advantage of this scheme is that it needs only one common unitary matrix for Alice＇s different results, which has a more general meaning. As a special case, teleporting an unknown three-particle entangled GHZ state is proposed.

Entanglement swapping of continuous variable using squeezed vacuum states

We present a realistic scheme for the entanglement swapping of continuous variable, in which a two-mode squeezed vacuum state serves as a quantum channel. The position sum and momentum difference of two local modes are measured. By taking the input entangled state also as a two-mode squeezed vacuum state, we investigate the average fidelity and the von Neumann entropy of the output state. The results show that the perfect teleportation can be achieved by increasing the squeezing of the quantum channel and that any nonzero squeezing in both the quantum channel and the input entangled state is sufficient to swap the entanglement.     

Controlled Entanglement Swapping for Continuous Variables

We propose a scheme for controlled entanglement swapping of continuous variable, where an EPR pair shared by two parties （Alice and Debbie） and a GHZ entangled state shared by three parties （Alice, Bob and Claire） are required. One optical beams of the EPR state will be entangled with the output mode displaced by Bob with the help of Claire. It is shown that the entanglement swapping can occur controlled by the third party （Claire）     

Teleportation of a three—particle entangled W state

We have investigated the problem of teleporting a three-particle entangled W state and we propose a scheme based on entanglement spapping to complete the teleportation.We also put forward a scheme for the teleportation of a general W state by using nonmaximally entangled quantum channels.The probability of success of the latter scheme is obtained.     

Robustness of Entanglement During Decoherence

Finding the most robust entangled states during the whole process of decoherence is a particularly fundamental problem for quantum physics and quantum information processing. In this paper, the decoherence process of two-qubit system under two individual identical decoherence channels is investigated systematically. We find that although the robustness of two-qubit states with same initial entanglement is usually different, the Bell-like states are always the most robust entangled states during decoherence. That is to say, affected by the same amount of noise, the remain entanglement of an arbitrary two-qubit state is not more than that of a Bell-like state with the same initial entanglement.

基于四波混频过程的纠缠光放大

双模纠缠态是量子信息领域一种重要的量子资源,本文基于四波混频过程从理论上提出了对双模纠缠态的单个模式(单模放大方案)和对双模纠缠态的两个模式(双模放大方案)的放大.利用光学分束器模型来模拟在光学传输过程中损耗引入的真空场噪声,利用部分转置正定判据分析了两种不同的放大方案中四波混频过程的增益对初始双模纠缠态的纠缠程度的影响.结果表明,在特定的损耗情况下,两个方案中初始双模纠缠态的纠缠度都随增益的增大而减小,直至消失,且双模放大方案中初始双模纠缠态纠缠消失得比单模放大方案中更快.本文的理论结果为实验上实现基于四波混频过程的双模纠缠态的放大奠定了理论基础.     

Sudden birth versus sudden death of entanglement for the extended Werner-like state in a dissipative environment

In this paper, we investigate the dynamical behaviour of entanglement in terms of concurrence in a bipartite system subjected to an external magnetic field under the action of dissipative environments in the extended Werner-like initial state. The interesting phenomenon of entanglement sudden death as well as sudden birth appears during the evolution process. We analyse in detail the effect of the purity of the initial entangled state of two qubits via Heisenberg XY interaction on the apparition time of entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth. Furthermore, the conditions on the conversion of entanglement sudden death and entanglement sudden birth can be generalized when the initial entangled state is not pure. In particular, a critical purity of the initial mixed entangled state exists, above which entanglement sudden birth vanishes while entanglement sudden death appears. It is also noticed that stable entanglement, which is independent of different initial states of the qubits (pure or mixed state), occurs even in the presence of decoherence. These results arising from the combination of the extended Werner-like initial state and dissipative environments suggest an approach to control and enhance the entanglement even after purity induced sudden birth, death and revival.     

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.     

A study on entanglement dynamics for a four-qubit model

In this paper, we consider the entanglement dynamics of a four-qubit model [2006 Phys. Rev. A 74 042328] where two entangled qubits a and b locally interact with separate qubits A and B via the spin-exchange-like Hamiltonian. We study the effect of purity of initial entangled state of qubits a, b on the entanglement evolution and its relation with energy transfer. Also, we find that the total bipartite entanglement of qubits a, b plus A, B is not a constant any longer when the initial entangled state of a, b is not pure, which is a complement to the result in the paper [2007 J. Phys. B 40 S45] for the pure case.     

Entanglement Dynamics of Two-Qubit System in Different Types of Noisy Channels

In this paper, we study entanglement dynamics of a two-qubit extended Werner-like state locally, interacting with independent noisy channels, i.e., amplitude damping, phase damping, and depolarizing channels. We show that the purity of initial entangled state has direct impacts on the entanglement robustness in each noisy channel. That is, if the initial entangled state is prepared in mixed instead of pure form, the state may exhibit entanglement sudden death （ESD） and/or be decreased for the critical probability at which the entanglement disappear.     

Practical scheme for remote preparation of a photon-photon entangled state

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.     

A novel scheme of hybrid entanglement swapping and teleportation using cavity QED in the small and large detuning regimes and quasi-Bell state measurement method

We outline a scheme for entanglement swapping based on cavity QED as well as quasi-Bell state measurement(quasiBSM) methods. The atom–field interaction in the cavity QED method is performed in small and large detuning regimes.We assume two atoms are initially entangled together and, distinctly two cavities are prepared in an entangled coherent–coherent state. In this scheme, we want to transform entanglement to the atom-field system. It is observed that, the fidelities of the swapped entangled state in the quasi-BSM method can be compatible with those obtained in the small and large detuning regimes in the cavity QED method(the condition of this compatibility will be discussed). In addition, in the large detuning regime, the swapped entangled state is obtained by detecting and quasi-BSM approaches. In the continuation,by making use of the atom–field entangled state obtained in both approaches in a large detuning regime, we show that the atomic as well as field states teleportation with complete fidelity can be achieved.
