Entanglement generation in quantum networks of Bose–Einstein condensates

Abstract

Two component (spinor) Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) are considered as the nodes of an interconnected quantum network. Unlike standard single-system qubits, in a BEC the quantum information is duplicated in a large number of identical bosonic particles, thus can be considered to be a 'macroscopic' qubit. One of the difficulties with such a system is how to effectively interact such qubits together in order to transfer quantum information and create entanglement. Here we propose a scheme of cavities containing spinor BECs coupled by optical fiber in order to achieve this task. We discuss entanglement generation and quantum state transfer between nodes using such macroscopic BEC qubits.

Quantum information transfer between two-component Bose-Einstein condensates connected by optical fiber

Quantum information processing with macroscopic two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

Alexey N. Pyrkov, Tim Byrnes

Two component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have been recently shown to be viable systems for storing and manipulating quantum information. Unlike standard single-particle qubits, the quantum information is duplicated in a large number of identical bosonic particles, thus can be considered to be a macroscopic qubit. The duplication of the quantum information makes them potentially more robust than conventional qubits, where all the quantum information is lost with a single error. It has been shown theoretically and experimentally that such ensembles can be used in many ways the same way as a standard qubit: they can be visualized on the Bloch sphere, and can be manipulated analogously to standard qubits. On the other hand, the BEC qubits do not have genuine interaction between each other and one of the main difficulties with such a system is how to effectively interact them together in order to transfer quantum information and create entanglement. Furthermore, the larger Hilbert space of the macroscopic bosonic system does not allow for unique mapping of standard quantum algorithms. However, in a few past years the main building blocks of quantum information processing and several quantum algorithms were translated to the BEC qubits. In this paper we give a brief colloquium of the current achievements and outline new perspectives of the use of BEC qubits and spin-coherent ensembles for quantum technologies.

Entanglement generation between two spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with cavity QED

Daniel Rosseau, Qianqian Ha, Tim Byrnes

We analyze a scheme for generating entanglement between two spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). The BECs are off-resonantly coupled to a common photon mode and are controlled by external lasers to induce a ${S}^{z}{S}^{z}$ interaction, where ${S}^{z}$ is the total spin of the BEC. We directly simulate the scheme numerically for small systems and show the performance of the scheme. The scaling of the entanglement to large-scale systems under realistic conditions of spontaneous emission and cavity photon loss is analyzed. It is shown that both entanglement in the beyond-continuous-variable regime can be generated, where the entanglement is of the order of the maximal entanglement between the systems.

Remote Entanglement between a Single Atom and a Bose-Einstein Condensate

Matthias Lettner, Martin Mücke, S. Riedl +7 more

Entanglement between stationary systems at remote locations is a key resource for quantum networks. We report on the experimental generation of remote entanglement between a single atom inside an optical cavity and a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). To produce this, a single photon is created in the atom-cavity system, thereby generating atom-photon entanglement. The photon is transported to the BEC and converted into a collective excitation in the BEC, thus establishing matter-matter entanglement. After a variable delay, this entanglement is converted into photon-photon entanglement. The matter-matter entanglement lifetime of 100 μs exceeds the photon duration by 2 orders of magnitude. The total fidelity of all concatenated operations is 95%. This hybrid system opens up promising perspectives in the field of quantum information.

Quantum Entanglement of Many Particles in Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates

Xie Yimin, Mao-Fa Fang

A theoretical treatment of the proposa for creating maximally entangled sates of many particles in spin-1 Bsoe-Einstein condensates(BECs) is presented by applying a single atom Raman transition.It is shown that the three-mode model suggested in reference [1] can be further reduced to an effective two-mode one by a simple method.It also suggests a scheme for generating the atom-atom continuous-variable entangled states in this system.

Entanglement generation between spinor Bose-Einstein condensates using Rydberg excitations

Sandrine Idlas, Luis Domenzain, R. J. C. Spreeuw +1 more

We propose an experimental scheme of generating entangled states between two spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) using Rydberg excitations. Due to the strong interaction between Rydberg atoms, the Rydberg excitation creates an interaction between two closely located BECs. The method is suitable particularly for atom chip and permanent magnetic trap systems, which can create many BECs with an arbitrary two-dimensional geometry. We show two schemes of entangled state generation, based on stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) methods. The first method produces a symmetric state with total ${S}^{x}$ spin zero between ground and excited states of the atoms using a single STIRAP pair, while the second produces a NOON state between hyperfine ground states using two STIRAP pairs. We show that despite the additional complexity of the BECs, it is possible to identify the initial and final adiabatic states exactly. We verify our theoretical predictions using numerical simulations on small boson number systems.
