Remote information concentration and multipartite entanglement in multilevel systems

Abstract

Remote information concentration (RIC) in $d$-level systems (qudits) is studied. It is shown that the quantum information initially distributed in three spatially separated qudits can be remotely and deterministically concentrated to a single qudit via an entangled channel without performing any global operations. The entangled channel can be different types of genuine multipartite pure entangled states which are inequivalent under local operations and classical communication. The entangled channel can also be a mixed entangled state, even a bound entangled state which has a similar form to the Smolin state, but has different features from the Smolin state. A common feature of all these pure and mixed entangled states is found; i.e., they have ${d}^{2}$ common commuting stabilizers. The differences of qudit-RIC and qubit-RIC ($d=2$) are also analyzed.

Remote Information Concentration Using a Bound Entangled State

Mio Murao, Vlatko Vedral

Remote information concentration, the reverse process of quantum telecloning, is presented. In this scheme, quantum information originally from a single qubit, but now distributed into three spatially separated qubits, is remotely concentrated back to a single qubit via an initially shared entangled state without performing any global operations. This entangled state is a single unlockable bound entangled state and we analyze its properties.

Entanglement Distribution in Quantum Networks

Sébastien Perseguers

This Thesis contributes to the theory of entanglement distribution in quantum networks, analyzing the generation of long-distance entanglement in particular.We consider that neighboring stations share one partially entangled pair of qubits, which emphasizes the difficulty of creating remote entanglement in realistic settings.The task is then to design local quantum operations at the stations, such that the entanglement present in the links of the whole network gets concentrated between few parties only, regardless of their spatial arrangement.First, we study quantum networks with a two-dimensional lattice structure, where quantum connections between the stations (nodes) are described by non-maximally entangled pure states (links).We show that the generation of a perfectly entangled pair of qubits over an arbitrarily long distance is possible if the initial entanglement of the links is larger than a threshold.This critical value highly depends on the geometry of the lattice, in particular on the connectivity of the nodes, and is related to a classical percolation problem.We then develop a genuine quantum strategy based on multipartite entanglement, improving both the threshold and the success probability of the generation of long-distance entanglement.Second, we consider a mixed-state definition of the connections of the quantum networks.This formalism is well-adapted for a more realistic description of systems in which noise (random errors) inevitably occurs.New techniques are required to create remote entanglement in this setting, and we show how to locally extract and globally process some error syndromes in order to create useful long-distance quantum correlations.Finally, we turn to networks that have a complex topology, which is the case for most real-world communication networks such as the Internet for instance.Besides many other characteristics, these systems have in common the small-world feature, stating that any two nodes are separated by a few links only.Based on the theory of random graphs, we propose a model of quantum complex networks, which exhibit some totally unexpected properties compared to their classical counterparts.5.1 Propagation of a large GHZ state through the lattice . . .5.2 Bit-flip error correction . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Entangled States Used in Remote Information Concentration and Their Properties

Chen Yin-Hua, Yu Ya-Fei, Zhi‐Ming Zhang

We analyse a process of remote information concentration achieved by the W state. The result turns out to be neither as good as performed by the GHZ state nor as by the Smolin bound entangled state. Based on this particular phenomenon, the properties of the three entangled states are realized.

New Genuinely Multipartite Entanglement

Ming‐Xing Luo

Abstract The quantum entanglement as one of the important resources has been verified by using different local models. There is no efficient method to verify single multipartite entanglement that is not generated by multisource quantum networks with local operations and shared randomness. The goal in this work is to solve this problem. First, a new local model is proposed for describing all the states that can be generated by using distributed entangled states and shared randomness without classical communication. This model is stronger than the biseparable model and implies new genuinely multipartite entanglement. With the present local model it is proved that all the permutationally symmetric entangled pure states are new genuinely multipartite entanglement. It is further proved that the new feature holds for all the multipartite entangled pure states in the biseparable model with the dimensions of local systems being not larger than three. The new multipartite entanglement is also robust against general noises. Finally, a simple Bell inequality is provided to verify new genuinely multipartite entangled pure qubit states in the present model. The results show new insight into featuring the genuinely multipartite entanglement in the distributive scenarios.

Concentrating Tripartite Quantum Information

Alexander Streltsov, Soojoon Lee, Gerardo Adesso

We introduce the concentrated information of tripartite quantum states. For three parties Alice, Bob, and Charlie, it is defined as the maximal mutual information achievable between Alice and Charlie via local operations and classical communication performed by Charlie and Bob. We derive upper and lower bounds to the concentrated information, and obtain a closed expression for it on several classes of states including arbitrary pure tripartite states in the asymptotic setting. We show that distillable entanglement, entanglement of assistance, and quantum discord can all be expressed in terms of the concentrated information, thus revealing its role as a unifying informational primitive. We finally investigate quantum state merging of mixed states with and without additional entanglement. The gap between classical and quantum concentrated information is proven to be an operational figure of merit for mixed state merging in the absence of additional entanglement. Contrary to the pure state merging, our analysis shows that classical communication in both directions can provide an advantage for merging of mixed states.

Generating remote entanglement via disentangling operations

Jennifer R. Glick, Christoph Adami

Shared entanglement between spatially separated systems is an essential resource for quantum information processing including long-distance quantum cryptography and teleportation. While purification protocols for mixed distributed entangled quantum states exist, it is not clear how to optimally distribute entanglement to remote locations. Here, we describe a deterministic protocol for generating a maximally entangled state between remote locations that only uses local operations on qubits, and requires no classical communication between the separated parties. The procedure may provide protection from decoherence before the entanglement is "activated," and could be useful for quantum key distribution.
