Generating remote entanglement via disentangling operations

Abstract

Shared entanglement between spatially separated systems is an essential resource for quantum information processing including long-distance quantum cryptography and teleportation. While purification protocols for mixed distributed entangled quantum states exist, it is not clear how to optimally distribute entanglement to remote locations. Here, we describe a deterministic protocol for generating a maximally entangled state between remote locations that only uses local operations on qubits, and requires no classical communication between the separated parties. The procedure may provide protection from decoherence before the entanglement is "activated," and could be useful for quantum key distribution.

Deterministic generation of multiqubit entangled states among distant parties using indefinite causal order

Wen‐Qiang Liu, Hai‐Rui Wei

Quantum entanglement plays an irreplaceable role in various remote quantum information processing tasks. Here we present protocols for generating deterministic and heralded $N$-qubit entangled states across multiple network nodes. By utilizing a pre-shared maximally entangled state and single-qubit operations within an indefinite causal order framework, the multi-qubit entangled state between distant parties can be generated deterministically. The complex entangled state measurements and multiple pre-shared entangled states, are essential in conventional entanglement swapping technique, but are not required in our approach. This greatly reduces the complexity of the quantum circuit and makes it more experimentally feasible. Furthermore, we develop optical architectures to implement these protocols by encoding qubits in polarization degree of freedom. The results indicate that our protocols significantly improve the efficiency of long-distance entanglement generation and provide a practical framework for establishing large-scale quantum networks.

On Entanglement Purification Protocols

김태완

In order to perform faithfully quantum communication protocols such as quantum teleportation, superdense coding, quantum key distribution, and quantum secret sharing, we need the entanglement purification process to make a maximal entanglement out of many copies of the partially entangled pairs by using local operations and classical communication. In this dissertation,\nwe analyze the efficiency of several entanglement purification protocols for qubit states and qudit states, and present a new efficient entanglement purification protocol. Furthermore, we show that our method can be applied to the existing best protocol\nso as to improve the efficiency.

Deterministic arbitrary multi-photon entanglement sharing via noisy channels

Zhi Zeng, Chun Wang, Xi Han Li +1 more

We present an efficient strategy for sharing multipartite polarization entanglement between distant locations via the noisy channel assisted by the time-bin degree of freedom. We demonstrate an entanglement purification protocol for the three-qubit Greenberge–Horne–Zeilinger state and an entanglement distribution protocol for the three-qubit W state. We also generalize the protocol to distribute arbitrary N-photon polarization states to N distant locations. Our schemes do not consume a large number of less-entangled systems and the remote parties can share the desired state in a deterministic way with 100% fidelity in principle. These advantages make our method useful and practical in long-distance quantum communication.

Deterministic remote preparation of pure and mixed polarization states

Wei Wu, Wei-Tao Liu, Ping‐Xing Chen +1 more

We propose a deterministic remote state preparation scheme for photon polarization qubit states, where entanglement, local operations, and classical communication are used. By consuming one maximally entangled state and two classical bits, an arbitrary (either pure or mixed) qubit state can be prepared deterministically at a remote location. We experimentally demonstrate the scheme by remotely preparing $12$ pure states and $6$ mixed states. The fidelities between the desired and achieved states are all higher than $0.99$ and have an average of $0.9947$.

Deterministic entanglement swapping of W states

Sajede Harraz, Yueyan Wang, Shuang Cong

In this paper, we propose a deterministic entanglement swapping protocol for generating a shared three-qubit W state between two remote parties. Our method offers a reliable alternative to existing probabilistic protocols for W state entanglement swapping, which is crucial for various quantum information processing tasks. We present a detailed quantum circuit design, implemented using the Qiskit simulator, that outlines the preparation of W states and the execution of joint measurements required for the entanglement swapping process. Furthermore, we analyze the effects of imperfect operations and noisy communication channels on the fidelity of the resulting shared W state. To address these challenges, we introduce a weak measurement-based purification method that enhances fidelity in the presence of amplitude damping. Through mathematical analysis and Qiskit simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed protocol, offering a practical solution for high-fidelity W state generation in real-world quantum communication scenarios.

Nontraditional Deterministic Remote State Preparation Using a Non-Maximally Entangled Channel without Additional Quantum Resources

Xuanxuan Xin, Shiwen He, Yongxing Li +1 more

In this paper, we have reinvestigated probabilistic quantum communication protocols and developed a nontraditional remote state preparation protocol that allows for deterministically transferring information encoded in quantum states using a non-maximally entangled channel. With an auxiliary particle and a simple measurement method, the success probability of preparing a d-dimensional quantum state is increased to 1 without spending additional quantum resources in advance to improve quantum channels, such as entanglement purification. Furthermore, we have designed a feasible experimental scheme to demonstrate the deterministic paradigm of transporting a polarization-encoded photon from one location to another using a generalized entangled state. This approach provides a practical method to address decoherence and environmental noises in actual quantum communication.
