Abstract

Quantum entanglement is a critical resource for quantum information and quantum computation. However, entanglement of a quantum system is subjected to change due to the interaction with the environment. One typical result of the interaction is the amplitude damping that usually results in the reduction of the entanglement. Here we propose a protocol to protect quantum entanglement from the amplitude damping by applying Hadamard and CNOT gates. As opposed to some recently studied methods, the scheme presented here does not require weak measurement in the reversal process, leading to a faster recovery of entanglement. We propose a possible experimental implementation based on linear optical system.

Robust quantum state recovery from amplitude damping within a mixed states framework

Saeideh Shahrokh Esfahani, Zeyang Liao, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

Abstract Due to interaction with the environment, a quantum state is subjected to decoherence which becomes one of the major problems in many quantum systems. Amplitude damping is one of the most important decoherence processes. Here, we show that general two-qubit mixed states undergoing amplitude damping can be almost completely restored using a reversal procedure. This reversal procedure through CNOT and Hadamard gates could also protect the entanglement of two-qubit mixed states from general amplitude damping. We also propose a robust recovery scheme to protect the quantum states when the decay parameters or the input quantum states are not completely known.

Robust Quantum Mixed State Recovery from Amplitude Damping

Saeideh Shahrokh Esfahani

Several instructions need to be considered in order to transfer classical error correction techniques to the quantum regime. The quantum error correction field has been developed to face these issues. One of the common source of errors in quantum systems is environment decoherence. Due to interaction with the environment, the quantum states of a system entangle with the environment and are subject to decoherence. In this thesis, we mainly focused on the amplitude damping which is one of the most important models of decoherence processes. We showed that general two-qubit mixed states undergoing an amplitude damping, can be almost completely restored using a reversal procedure. This reversal procedure through CNOT and Hadamard gates could also protect the entanglement of two-qubit mixed states from general amplitude damping. Concurrence and fidelity are two measurements used in order to examine how our proposed scheme performs. Furthermore, to give generality to our scheme, we proposed a robust recovery scheme to protect the quantum states when the decay parameters or the input quantum states are not completely known.

Reversing entanglement change by a weak measurement

Qingqing Sun, M. Al-Amri, L. Davidovich +1 more

Entanglement of a system changes due to interactions with the environment. A typical type of interaction is amplitude damping. If we add a detector to monitor the environment and only select the no-damping outcome, this amplitude damping is modified into a weak measurement. Here we show that the entanglement change of a two-qubit state due to amplitude damping or weak measurement can be probabilistically reversed. For the amplitude-damping case, the entanglement partially recovers under most conditions. For the weak-measurement case, the recovery of the initial entangled state is exact. The reversal procedure involves another weak measurement, preceded and followed by bit flips applied to both qubits. We propose a linear optics scheme for the experimental demonstration of these procedures.

Scheme for protecting multipartite quantum entanglement

Zong Xiao-Lan, Yang Ming

Entanglement is a vital resource for many quantum information processes. However, the unavoidable interaction between quantum system and its environment will lead to quantum decoherence. So protecting remote entanglement against decoherence is of great importance for realizing quantum information and quantum communication. In fact, there are many types of decoherences. Besides the depolarization and phase damping, amplitude damping is a typical decoherence mechanism. If we monitor the environments to guarantee that no excitation escapes from the system, the amplitude damping is modified into a weak measurement induced amplitude damping of the system. Amplitude damping decoherence can affect both single-qubit quantum states and multipartite entangled states. However, in most of previous quantum state protection schemes, the authors only pay attention to the single-qubit system or two-qubit system. Compared with bipartite entangled states, multipartite entangled states possess many advantages, but the entanglement property of multipartite entangled state is much more complicated than bipartite entanglement, so bipartite entanglement reversal (protection) scheme may not be suitable for multipartite case. Thus, in this paper, according to local pulse series and weak measurement, we propose an effective scheme for protecting two multipartite entangled states against amplitude damping, and these two multipartite states are Cluster state and Maximal slice (MS) state. Cluster state and MS state are two typical classes of multipartite entangled states, which play important roles in quantum computation and communication, respectively. These two states cannot be converted into each other with local operation and classical communication. Owing to its good operational and computable properties, here we choose negativity as a measure to quantify the multipartite entanglement. For the case of MS sate, no matter what the initial parameter is, when the local pulses are exerted on all qubits, the entanglement can be fixed around the entanglement of the initial state. Similarly, in the four-qubit cluster state case, if a series of flip operations is exerted on all qubits, it is shown that the multipartite entanglement can be recovered to the maximum 1.0. All these results show that this protocol can protect remote multipartite entanglement effectively. The physical mechanism behind this scheme is that the weak measurement combining with flip operation can balance the weight of different terms of the state, and move the entanglement toward the initial value. To summarize, our scheme is much simpler and feasible, which may warrant its experimental realization. Moreover, our scheme could be extended to protect other multipartite states.

Restoring genuine tripartite entanglement under local amplitude damping

Mazhar Ali

We investigate the possibility to restore genuine tripartite entanglement under local amplitude damping. We show that it is possible to protect genuine entanglement using CNOT and Hadamard gates. We analyze several ordering of such recovery operations. We find that for recovery operations applied after exposing qubits to decoherence, there is no enhancement in lifetime of genuine entanglement. Actual retrieval of entanglement is only possible when reversal scheme is applied before and after the decoherence process. We find that retrieval of entanglement for mixture of [Formula: see text] state with white noise is more evident than the respective mixture of [Formula: see text] state. We also find the retrieval of entanglement for similar mixture of [Formula: see text] state as well.
