Robust preparation of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and W states of three distant atoms

Abstract

Schemes to generate Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and $W$ states of three distant atoms are proposed in this paper. The schemes use the effects of quantum statistics of indistinguishable photons emitted by the atoms inside optical cavities. The advantages of the schemes are their robustness against detection inefficiency and asynchronous emission of the photons. Moreover, in Lamb-Dicke limit, the schemes do not require the simultaneous click of the detectors. This makes the schemes more realizable in experiments.

Schemes for Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger and cluster state preparation

Jie Song, Yan Xia, He‐Shan Song

Schemes to generate Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) and cluster states of three atoms are proposed in a two-mode cavity. The advantages of the schemes are their robustness against decoherence due to spontaneous emission of the excited states and decay of the cavity modes. Moreover, the schemes can be generalized to generate N -atom entangled states.

Quantum entanglement of four distant atoms trapped in different optical cavities

Xu‐Bo Zou, K. Pahlke, Wolfgang M. Mathis

We propose a unified scheme to generate $W$ states, Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, and cluster states of four distant atoms, which are trapped separately in leaky cavities. The proposed schemes require linear optical elements and photon detectors with single-photon sensitivity. The quantum noise influences the fidelity of the generated states. Further, based on the four-photon coincidence detection, we propose another scheme to generate the $W$ states and GHZ states of four distant atoms. The scheme is insensitive to the quantum noise, but cannot be used to generate the cluster states.

Conditional generation of quantum entanglement of many distant atoms via multifold coincidence detection

Xu‐Bo Zou, K. Pahlke, Wolfgang M. Mathis

It has been shown that there exist two inequivalent classes of three-qubit entangled states, namely, the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) class and the W class. In this paper, we propose conditional schemes to generate GHZ states and W states of three distant atoms, which are trapped separately in three leaky cavities. More generally, the schemes can be modified to generate any superposition of the Dicke states of three distant atoms. The proposed schemes require linear optical elements and a multifold coincidence detection and are insensitive to the quantum noise. It is briefly pointed out that these schemes can be extended to generate GHZ states and W states of N distant atoms.

Deterministic generation of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and W states for three distant atoms via adiabatic passage

Peijun Song, Xin‐You Lü, Liu-Gang Si +1 more

We propose two schemes for generating Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and W states of three distant atoms. In the present schemes, the atoms are individually trapped in three spatially separated optical cavities coupled by two optical fibres. Performing an adiabatic passage along dark states, the population of cavities and fibres excited is negligible under certain conditions. In addition, the spontaneous decay of atoms is also efficiently suppressed based on our proposals. Furthermore, the discussion about the entanglement fidelity is given and we point out that our schemes work robustly with small fluctuations of experimental parameters.

Conditional generation of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state of four distant atoms via cavity decay

Xu‐Bo Zou, K. Pahlke, Wolfgang M. Mathis

We propose a scheme to generate a four-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state of distant atoms that are trapped separately in leaky cavities. This scheme uses cavity decay to inject photons into a setup of optical devices that consist of a symmetric series of beam splitters and photon detectors. Photon detection on the output modes of the beam splitters projects the atom-cavity-system state onto the GHZ state. It is briefly pointed out that this scheme can be extended to generate GHZ states of $4m$ atoms.

The generation of the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state of four distant atoms conditioned on cavity decay

K. Pahlke, XuBo Zou, Wolfgang M. Mathis

We show a way to use an optical device set-up to generate the four-particle Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state of atoms, which are trapped separately in leaky cavities. Based on cavity decay, photons are transferred from the atom–cavity systems to a symmetric series of beam splitters and photon detectors. The events of photon detection on the output modes of the beam splitters project the state of the atom–cavity systems onto the GHZ state. It is briefly pointed out how this scheme can be extended to generate GHZ states of 4 m atoms.
