Two-photon entanglement in multiqubit bidirectional-waveguide QED

Abstract

We study entanglement generation and control in bidirectional-waveguide QED driven by a two-photon Gaussian wave packet. In particular, we focus on how increasing the number of qubits affects the overall average pairwise entanglement in the system. We also investigate how the presence of a second photon can introduce nonlinearities, thereby manipulating the generated entanglement. In addition, we show that, through the introduction of chirality and small decay rates, entanglement can be stored and enhanced up to factors of 2 and 3, respectively. Finally, we analyze the influence of finite detunings and time-delays on the generated entanglement.

Multiqubit entanglement in bidirectional-chiral-waveguide QED

Imran M. Mirza, John C. Schotland

We study the generation of transient entanglement induced by a single-photon Gaussian wave packet in multiatom bidirectional-waveguide QED. In particular, we investigate the effect of increasing the number of atoms on the average pairwise entanglement. We demonstrate, by selecting smaller decay rates and in chiral-waveguide settings, that both entanglement survival times and maximum generated entanglement can be increased by at least a factor of $\ensuremath{\sim}3/2$, independent of the number of atoms. In addition, we analyze the influence of detuning and delays on the robustness of the generated entanglement. There are potential applications of our results in entanglement-based multiqubit quantum networks.

Generation, manipulation, and detection of two-qubit entanglement in waveguide QED

Carlos Gonzalez-Ballestero, Esteban Moreno, Francisco José García-Vidal

We study the possibility of using guided photons to generate, control, and measure the entanglement of two qubits that is mediated by a one-dimensional waveguide. We show how entanglement can be generated both with single-photon and with two-photon wave packets. The introduction of a second photon allows for a manipulation of the entanglement between the qubits, and phenomena such as sudden death and revival of entanglement appear. Finally, we propose a procedure for entanglement detection via the scattering output of a single photon over a qubit state.

Chirality-assisted enhancement of tripartite entanglement in waveguide QED

Logan Patrick, Umar Arshad, Dingyu Guo +1 more

Abstract We study the generation and control of genuine tripartite entanglement among quantum emitters (QEs) that are side-coupled to one-dimensional spin-momentum locked (or chiral) waveguides. By applying the machinery of Fock state master equations along with the recently proposed concurrence fill measure of tripartite entanglement [S. Xie and J. H. Eberly, Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 040403 (2021)], we analyze how three-photon Gaussian wavepackets can distribute entanglement among two and three QEs. We show that with a five times larger waveguide decay rate in the right direction as compared to the left direction, the maximum value of tripartite entanglement can be elevated by $$35\%$$ 35 % as compared to the symmetric scenario where both left, and right direction decay rates are equal. Additionally, chirality can maintain the tripartite entanglement for longer than the corresponding symmetric decay rate. Finally, we study the influence of detunings and spontaneous emission on the resulting entanglement. We envision quantum networking and long-distance quantum communication as two main areas of applications of this work.

Enhancement of spontaneous entanglement generation via coherent quantum feedback

Bin Zhang, Sujian You, Mei Lu

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two two-level emitters (qubits) mediated by a semi-infinite, one-dimensional photonic waveguide. The coupling of each qubit to the waveguide is chiral, which depends on the propagation direction of light. The finite end of the waveguide is terminated by a perfect mirror such that coherent quantum feedback is introduced to the system. We show that the chirally generated entanglement between the qubits can be preserved by controlling the time delay of the feedback. Moreover, when the time delay is negligible, the qubit-qubit reduced system evolves within the strong-coupling regime and the qubits can be almost maximally entangled. We also analyze the robustness of the protocol against variations of some relevant parameters.

Entanglement engineering of one-photon wave packets using a single-atom source

Klaus M. Gheri, C. Saavedra, Päivi Törmä +2 more

We propose a cavity-QED scheme for the controlled generation of sequences of entangled single-photon wave packets. A photon is created inside a cavity via an active medium, such as an atom, and decays into the continuum of radiation modes outside the cavity. Subsequent wave packets generated in this way behave as independent logical quantum bits (qubits). This and the possibility of producing maximally entangled multiqubit states suggest many applications in quantum communication.
