Abstract

We construct an error-detected block, assisted by the quantum-dot spins in double-sided optical microcavities. With this block, we propose three error-detected schemes for the deterministic generation, the complete analysis, and the complete nondestructive analysis of hyperentangled Bell states in both the polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom of two-photon systems. In these schemes, the errors can be detected, which can improve their fidelities largely, far different from other previous schemes assisted by the interaction between the photon and the QD-cavity system. Our scheme for the deterministic generation of hyperentangled two-photon systems can be performed by repeat until success. These features make our schemes more useful in high-capacity quantum communication with hyperentanglement in the future.

Generation and complete analysis of the hyperentangled Bell state for photons assisted by quantum-dot spins in optical microcavities

Tie-Jun Wang, Yao Lu, Gui Lu Long

We propose a scheme for the production of hyperentangled photon pairs as well as for the complete differentiation of 16 hyperentangled Bell states in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom using the quantum-dot cavity systems. This hyperentangled-Bell-state photon generation and the complete hyperentangled-Bell-state-analysis device can serve as crucial components of the high-capacity, long-distance quantum communication. We use the hyperentanglement quantum repeater as an example to show the application of this device. When the hyperentanglement quantum repeater operation is complete, two parties that are far from each other in quantum communication can share two Bell-state spin pairs simultaneously. By using numerical calculations we prove that the present scheme can both work in the weak- and strong-coupling regimes with current technology.

Complete and fidelity-robust state analysis for polarization-spatial-time-bin hyperentanglement with double-sided quantum-dot-cavity systems

Yuan-Hao Sun, Yu-Qing Guo, Cong Cao

Hyperentanglement represents a key resource in many quantum information processing schemes. Here, we present a complete and fidelity-robust hyperentangled-Bell-state analysis (HBSA) scheme for two-photon systems entangled in polarization, spatial mode, and time-bin degrees of freedom (DOFs). The scheme uses a fidelity-robust quantum nondemolition (QND) detector called BLOCK1, built with a singly charged semiconductor quantum dot (QD) in a double-sided optical microcavity (double-sided QD-cavity system) under the balance condition, and some linear-optical elements. Compared with the previously proposed complete HBSA schemes based on ideal optical giant circular birefringence, our scheme guarantees the robust fidelity and relaxes the requirement on the QD-cavity parameters with the assistance of the balance condition. Different from the schemes using error-detected blocks and exchanging Bell states in different DOFs to get unity fidelity, the BLOCK1 under the balance condition can directly measure the Bell states of polarization and spatial mode so that fewer kinds of linear optical components are needed in our scheme. In addition, our scheme simplifies the discrimination process and reduces the required light–matter interaction by using a self-assisted mechanism. These features indicate that our scheme may be directly generalized to multiphoton hyperentangled Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state analysis and more feasible in practical quantum applications based on the photonic hyperentanglement.

Self-assisted complete hyperentangled Bell state analysis using quantum-dot spins in optical microcavities

Zhi Zeng

Abstract An efficient scheme for the discrimination of 16 hyperentangled Bell states of a two-photon system that is entangled in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom is presented in this paper. Using the interaction between the photons and quantum-dot spins in cavities, the spatial-mode Bell states can be distinguished completely and nondestructively in the first step. Subsequently, the preserved spatial-mode entanglement is utilized as an auxiliary to analyze the polarization Bell states. Compared with a previous scheme (Ren et al 2012 Opt. Express 20 24664–77), our scheme reduces the requirement for nonlinear interaction substantially by utilizing the intrinsic degrees of freedom in hyperentanglement.

Complete and faithful hyperentangled-Bell-state analysis of photon systems using a failure-heralded and fidelity-robust quantum gate

Cong Cao, Li Zhang, Yu‐Hong Han +4 more

Hyperentangled-Bell-state analysis (HBSA) represents a key step in many quantum information processing schemes that utilize hyperentangled states. In this paper, we present a complete and faithful HBSA scheme for two-photon quantum systems hyperentangled in both the polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom, using a failure-heralded and fidelity-robust quantum swap gate for the polarization states of two photons (P-SWAP gate), constructed with a singly charged semiconductor quantum dot (QD) in a double-sided optical microcavity (double-sided QD-cavity system) and some linear-optical elements. Compared with the previously proposed complete HBSA schemes using different auxiliary tools such as parity-check quantum nondemonlition detectors or additional entangled states, our scheme significantly simplifies the analysis process and saves the quantum resource. Unlike the previous schemes based on the ideal optical giant circular birefringence induced by a single-electron spin in a double-sided QD-cavity system, our scheme guarantees the robust fidelity and relaxes the requirement on the QD-cavity parameters. These features indicate that our scheme may be more feasible and useful in practical applications based on the photonic hyperentanglement.

Generation and complete nondestructive analysis of hyperentanglement assisted by nitrogen-vacancy centers in resonators

Qian Liu, Mei Zhang

We present two efficient schemes for the deterministic generation and the complete nondestructive analysis of hyperentangled Bell states in both the polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom (DOF) of two-photon systems, assisted by the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds coupled to microtoroidal resonators as a result of cavity quantum electrodynamics. With the input-output process of photons, two-photon polarization-spatial hyperentangled Bell states can be generated in a deterministic way and their complete nondestructive analysis can be achieved. These schemes can be generalized to generate and analyze hyperentangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of multiphoton systems as well. Compared with previous works, these two schemes relax the difficulty of their implementation in experiment as it is not difficult to obtain the $\ensuremath{\pi}$ phase shift in single-sided NV-cavity systems. Moreover, our schemes do not require that the transmission for the uncoupled cavity is balanceable with the reflectance for the coupled cavity. Our calculations show that these schemes can reach a high fidelity and efficiency with current technology, which may be a benefit to long-distance high-capacity quantum communication with two DOF of photon systems.

Complete hyperentangled-Bell-state analysis for photon systems assisted by quantum-dot spins in optical microcavities

Bao-Cang Ren, Hai-Rui Wei, Ming Hua +2 more

Bell-state analysis (BSA) is essential in quantum communication, but it is impossible to distinguish unambiguously the four Bell states in the polarization degree of freedom (DOF) of two-photon systems with only linear optical elements, except for the case in which the BSA is assisted with hyperentangled states, the simultaneous entanglement in more than one DOF. Here, we propose a scheme to distinguish completely the 16 hyperentangled Bell states in both the polarization and the spatial-mode DOFs of two-photon systems, by using the giant nonlinear optics in quantum dot-cavity systems. This scheme can be applied to increase the channel capacity of long-distance quantum communication based on hyperentanglement, such as entanglement swapping, teleportation, and superdense coding. We use hyperentanglement swapping as an example to show the application of this HBSA.
