Efficient generation of a maximally entangled state by repeated on- and off-resonant scattering of ancilla qubits

Abstract

A scheme for preparing two fixed noninteracting qubits in a maximally entangled state is presented. By repeating on- and off-resonant scattering of ancilla qubits, the target qubits are driven from an arbitrary initial state into a singlet state with probability 1 (perfect efficiency). Neither the preparation nor the post-selection of the ancilla spin state is required. The convergence from an arbitrary input state to the unique fixed point (mixing property) is proved rigorously, and its robustness is investigated by scrutinizing the effects of imperfections in the incident wave of the ancilla—such as mistuning to a resonant momentum, imperfect monochromatization, and fluctuation of the incident momentum—as well as detector efficiency.

Extraction of an entanglement by repetition of the resonant transmission of an ancilla qubit

Kazuya Yuasa

A scheme for the extraction of entanglement in two noninteracting qubits (spins) is proposed. The idea is to make use of the resonant transmission of an ancilla qubit through the two fixed qubits, controlled by the entanglement in the scatterers. Repetition of the resonant transmission extracts the singlet state in the target qubits from their arbitrary given state. Neither the preparation nor the post-selection of the ancilla spin is required, in contrast to the previously proposed schemes.

Resonant scattering can enhance the degree of entanglement

Kazuya Yuasa, Hiromichi Nakazato

Generation of entanglement between two qubits by scattering an entanglement mediator is discussed. The mediator bounces between the two qubits and exhibits a resonant scattering. It is clarified how the degree of the entanglement is enhanced by the constructive interference of such bouncing processes. Maximally entangled states are available via adjusting the incident momentum of the mediator or the distance between the two qubits, but their fine tunings are not necessarily required to gain highly entangled states and a robust generation of entanglement is possible.

Entanglement generation by qubit scattering in three dimensions

Yuichiro Hida, Hiromichi Nakazato, Kazuya Yuasa +1 more

A qubit (a spin-1/2 particle) prepared in the up state is scattered by local spin-flipping potentials produced by the two target qubits (two fixed spins), both prepared in the down state, to generate an entangled state in the latter when the former is found in the down state after scattering. The scattering process is analyzed in three dimensions, both to lowest order and in full order in perturbation, with an appropriate renormalization for the latter. The entanglement is evaluated in terms of the concurrence as a function of the incident and scattering angles, the size of the incident wave packet, and the detector resolution to clarify the key elements for obtaining an entanglement with high quality. The characteristics of the results are also discussed in the context of (in)distinguishability of alternative paths for a quantum particle.

A Simple Scheme to Entangle Distant Qubits from a Mixed State via an Entanglement Mediator

K. Yuasa, H. Nakazato

A simple scheme to prepare an entanglement between two separated qubits from a given mixed state is proposed. A single qubit (entanglement mediator) is repeatedly made to interact locally and consecutively with the two qubits through rotating-wave couplings and is then measured. It is shown that we need to repeat this kind of process only three times to establish a maximally entangled state directly from an arbitrary initial mixed state, with no need to prepare the state of the qubits in advance or to rearrange the setup step by step. Furthermore, the maximum yield realizable with this scheme is compatible with the maximum entanglement, provided that the coupling constants are properly tuned.

Qubit state guidance without feedback

Mauro Paternostro, M S Kim

We study a protocol for two-qubit-state guidance that does not rely on feedback mechanisms. In our scheme, entanglement can be concentrated by arranging the interactions of the qubits with a continuous variable ancilla. By properly post-selecting the outcomes of repeated measurements performed on the state of the ancilla, the qubit state is driven to have a desired amount of purity and entanglement. We stress the primary role played by the first iterations of the protocol. Inefficiencies in the detection operations can be fully taken into account. We also discuss the robustness of the guidance protocol to the effects of an experimentally motivated model for mixedness of the ancillary states.
