Generation of atomic Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and cluster states through cavity-assisted interaction

This paper proposes a scalable scheme to generate n-atom GHZ states and cluster states by using the basic building block, i.e., a weak coherent optical pulse [α） being reflected successively from a single-atom cavity. In the schemes, coherent state of light is used instead of single photon source, homodyne measurement on coherent light is done kastead of single photon detection, and no need for individually addressing keeps the schemes easy to implement from the experimental point of view. The successful probabilities of our protocols approach unity in the ideal case.     

Generation of cluster-type entangled squeezed vacuum states

We present a scheme to prepare cluster-type entangled squeezed vacuum states （CTESVS） by considering the two-photon interaction between a two-level atom and a high-quality cavity, driven by a strong classical field. After the realization of simple atomic measurements, the generation of CTESVS in four separate cavities is accomplished within the cavity decay time. In the case of large atom=cavity detuning, the scheme is immune to the effect of atomic spontaneous emission.     

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.     

Generation of macroscopic entangled coherent states with large Josephson junctions

We propose a simple and experimental architecture to generate macroscopic entanglement in a solid system which consists of two large Josephson junctions and a flux qubit. Through quantum measuring of flux qubit, entangled coherent states of two large Josephson junctions are obtained. The concurrence of entangled coherent states can be accommodated by adjusted systematic parameters. We also give a brief discussion on the experimental feasibility of this proposal.

Teleportation of tripartite entangled coherent states

This paper proposes a feasible scheme for the quantum teleportation of tripartite entangled coherent states by using linear optical devices such as beam splitters, phase shifters and photo detectors. The scheme is based on the bipartite maximally entangled coherent state and the tripartite entangled coherent state with bipartite maximal entanglement as quantum channels. It shows that when the mean number of photons is equal to 2, the total minimum of the average fidelity for an arbitrary tripartite entangled state is 1-0.67×10 ^-3.     

Generation of entangled coherent states for two cavity modes via resonant interaction with a V-type three-level atom

This paper proposes a scheme for the generation of entangled coherent states for two cavity modes. In the scheme a V-type three-level atom is sent through a two-mode cavity filled with a coherent field. After the atom cavity interaction and detection of the atomic state the cavity modes may evolve to a superposition of two-mode coherent states. As the scheme is based on resonant atom-cavity interaction, the required interaction time is short, which is important in view of the decoherence. Moreover, additional classical pulses are unnecessary before and after the atom-cavlty interaction.     

Generation of remote multi-photon entangled state from Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen photon pairs

We describe a protocol for generation of remote multi-photon entanglement using Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) photon pairs via entanglement swapping. According to the requests of users, Quantum Switch (QS) can prepare three-photon W entangled states or Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states based on independent, spatially separated EPR pairs among three distant users. Only Bell states measurement (BSM) is needed utilizing a CPHASE gate and PAs. This protocol can also generate remote N-photon GHZ entangled states.

Preparation of entangled simultaneous nonresonant atomic states through atom-field interaction

A scheme is proposed for generating a three-atom maximal entanglement W state. It is based on the simultaneous nonresonant interaction of atoms with a single-mode cavity field. Our scheme is insensitive to the cavity field, so the cavity field in our scheme can be initially in thermal states.     

Generation of free-travelling four-mode cluster-type entangled coherent states

A new scheme is proposed to generate free-travelling four-mode cluster-type entangled coherent states. Compared with other previously proposed schemes ours is very simple in execution using only one π-cross-Kerr medium, two 50:50 beam-splitters and two π/2-phase-shifters. Despite the setup simplicity, our scheme, unlike the others which are all probabilistic, is efficient with 100% success probability since no measurements are involved at all.

Long-distance quantum state transfer through cavity-assisted interaction

We propose a scheme for long-distance quantum state transfer between different atoms based on cavity-assisted interactions. In our scheme, a coherent optical pulse sequentially interacts with two distant atoms trapped in separated cavities. Through the measurement of the state of the first atom and the homodyne detection of the final output coherent light, the quantum state can be transferred into the second atom with a success probability of unity and a fidelity of unity. In addition, our scheme neither requires the high-Q cavity working in the strong coupling regime nor employs the single-photon quantum channel, which greatly relaxes the experimental requirements.     

Entanglement concentration for W-type entangled coherent states

An entangled coherent state(ECS) is one type of entanglement, which is widely discussed in the application of quantum information processing(QIP). In this paper, we propose an entanglement concentration protocol(ECP) to distill the maximally entangled W-type ECS from the partially entangled W-type ECS. In the ECP, we adopt the balanced beam splitter(BS) to make the parity check measurement. Our ECP is quite different from the conventional ECPs. After performing the ECP, not only can we obtain the maximally entangled ECS with some success probability, but also we can increase the amplitude of the coherent state. Therefore, it is especially useful in long-distance quantum communication, if the photon loss is considered.     

Measurement-based entanglement purification for entangled coherent states

The entangled coherent states (ECSs) have been widely used to realize quantum information processing tasks. However, the ECSs may suffer from photon loss and decoherence due to the inherent noise in quantum channel, which may degrade the fidelity of ECSs. To overcome these obstacles, we present a measurement-based entanglement purification protocol (MBEPP) for ECSs to distill some highquality ECSs from a large number of low-quality copies. We first show the principle of this MBEPP without considering the photon loss. After that, we prove that this MBEPP is feasible to correct the error resulted from the photon loss. Additionally, this MBEPP only requires to operate the Bell state measurement without performing local two-qubit gates on the noisy pairs and the purified high-quality ECSs can be preserved for other applications. This MBEPP may have application potential in the implementation of long-distance quantum communication.

Controllable preparation of two-mode entangled coherent states in circuit QED

Although the multi-level structure of superconducting qubits may result in calculation errors, it can be rationally used to effectively improve the speed of gate operations. Utilizing a current-biased Josephson junction （A-type rf-SQUID） as a tunable coupler for superconducting transmission line resonators （TLRs）, under the large detuning condition, we demonstrate the controllable generation of entangled coherent states in circuit quantum electrodynamics （circuit QED）. The coupling between the TLRs and the qubit can be effectively regulated by an external bias current or coupling capacitor. Further investigations indicate that the maximum entangled state can be obtained through measuring the excited state of the superconducting qubits. Then, the influence of the TLR [tecay on the prepared entangled states is analyzed.     

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.     

Cluster-type entangled coherent states

After the realization of simple atomic measurements, CTECS representing nonlocal electromagnetic fields in separate cavities can be generated.
