Abstract

We present a deterministic scheme for generating large-scale atomic W states in a cavity QED system via a simple expansion mechanism, which is realized only by a detuned interaction between two identical atoms and a vacuum cavity mode. With the presented scheme, a W-type Bell pair can be created and an n-atom W state can be expanded to a 2n-atom W state with a unit probability of success in principle. No multi-atom gates, quantum memories or quantum non-demolition measurements are required, greatly simplifying the experimental realization of the scheme. The feasibility analysis shows that our expansion scheme can be implemented with state-of-the-art technologies. Our scheme enables advances not only in quantum information and communication but also in quantum thermodynamics, where atomic W states plays a crucial role.

Generating multi-atom entangled W states via light-matter interface based fusion mechanism

Xue-Ping Zang, Ming Yang, Fatih Özaydin +2 more

W state is a key resource in quantum communication. Fusion technology has been proven to be a good candidate for preparing a large-size W state from two or more small-size W states in linear optical system. It is of great importance to study how to fuse W states via light-matter interface. Here we show that it is possible to prepare large-size W-state networks using a fusion mechanism in cavity QED system. The detuned interaction between three atoms and a vacuum cavity mode constitute the main fusion mechanism, based on which two or three small-size atomic W states can be fused into a larger-size W state. If no excitation is detected from those three atoms, the remaining atoms are still in the product of two or three new W states, which can be re-fused. The complicated Fredkin gate used in the previous fusion schemes is avoided here. W states of size 2 can be fused as well. The feasibility analysis shows that our fusion processes maybe implementable with the current technology. Our results demonstrate how the light-matter interaction based fusion mechanism can be realized, and may become the starting point for the fusion of multipartite entanglement in cavity QED system.

Generation of large-scale W states in a cavity–quantum dot system

Jun Liu, Ping Dong, Lihua Zhang +1 more

Abstract We present a scheme for generating large-scale W states based on an expansion mechanism in a cavity–quantum dot system. In cases in which the number of particles is even (2 n ), the probability of success will be 1.0. In cases in which the number is odd (2 n − 1), the probability of success will be 1 − 1/2 n . As the number of particles increases, the probability of success is closer to 1. Meanwhile, the fidelity of the obtained state decreases slowly as the number of particles increases. Numerical simulation and discussions show that the scheme can be implemented in the current experimental technology.

Generating four-mode multiphoton entangled states in cavity QED

Jing Shu, Xu‐Bo Zou, Yun‐Feng Xiao +1 more

We propose a scheme to generate four-mode multiphoton entangled states by passing $N$ identical atoms through two high-$Q$ cavities in turn. In the case of $N=1$, the scheme can deterministically generate Einstein-Podosky-Rosen entangled photon pairs. We use adiabatical state evolution under large atom-cavity detuning, so the scheme is insensitive to atomic spontaneous decay. The influence of cavity decay on fidelity and success probability is also discussed.

Generation of Entangled Multi-atom Dicke States in Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

Shu Jing, Zhong Liu

We propose a scheme to generate two-atom maximally entangled state in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). The scheme can be extended to generation of entangled multi-atom Dicke states if we control the interaction time of atoms with cavity modes. We use adiabatically state evolution under large atom-cavity detuning, so the scheme is insensitive to atomic spontaneous decay. The influence of cavity decay on fidelity and success probability is discussed.
