Chaos in quantum steering in high-dimensional systems

Abstract

Quantum steering means that in some bipartite quantum systems the local measurements on one side can determine the state of the other side. Here we show that in high-dimensional systems there exists a specific entangled state which can display a kind of chaos effect when being adopted for steering. That is, a subtle difference in the measurement results on one side can steer the other side into completely orthogonal states. Moreover, by expanding the result to infinite-dimensional systems, we find two sets of states for which, contrary to common belief, even though their density matrices approach being identical, the steering between them is impossible. This property makes them very useful for quantum cryptography.

Robust genuine high-dimensional steering with many measurements

Sébastien Designolle

Quantum systems of high dimensions are attracting a lot of attention because they feature interesting properties when it comes to observing entanglement or other forms of correlations. In particular, their improved resistance to noise is favorable for experiments in quantum communication or quantum cryptography. However, witnessing this high-dimensional nature remains challenging, especially when the assumptions on the parties involved are weak, typically when one of them is considered as a black box. In this context, the concept of genuine high-dimensional steering has been recently introduced and experimentally demonstrated [Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 200404 (2021)]; it allows for a one-sided device-independent certification of the dimension of a bipartite shared state by only using two measurements. Here I overcome this limitation by developing, for more than two measurements, universal bounds on the incompatibility robustness, turned into meaningful dimension certificates. Interestingly, even though the resulting bounds are quite loose, they still often offer an increased resistance to noise and could then be advantageously employed in experiments.

Genuine High-Dimensional Quantum Steering

Sébastien Designolle, Vatshal Srivastav, Roope Uola +4 more

High-dimensional quantum entanglement can give rise to stronger forms of nonlocal correlations compared to qubit systems, offering significant advantages for quantum information processing. Certifying these stronger correlations, however, remains an important challenge, in particular in an experimental setting. Here we theoretically formalize and experimentally demonstrate a notion of genuine high-dimensional quantum steering. We show that high-dimensional entanglement, as quantified by the Schmidt number, can lead to a stronger form of steering, provably impossible to obtain via entanglement in lower dimensions. Exploiting the connection between steering and incompatibility of quantum measurements, we derive simple two-setting steering inequalities, the violation of which guarantees the presence of genuine high-dimensional steering, and hence certifies a lower bound on the Schmidt number in a one-sided device-independent setting. We report the experimental violation of these inequalities using macropixel photon-pair entanglement certifying genuine high-dimensional steering. In particular, using an entangled state in dimension d=31, our data certifies a minimum Schmidt number of n=15.

Quantum steering in tripartite quantum systems

Shu Xiao, GUO ZhiHua, Cao Huai-Xin

Quantum steering is a kind of quantum feature between quantum entanglement and Bell non-locality. Due to its special asymmetry, quantum steering plays an important role in many aspects of quantum information processing and thus has been widely concerned. There are many contributions on quantum steering in bipartite systems up to now, while tripartite systems have more complex structures than bipartite systems and then have more diversified steering scenarios. In this paper, two types of quantum steering scenarios are introduced for a tripartite quantum system, named “one-sided device-independent steering" and “two-sided device-independent steering". Each of them contains two levels according to the separability of the local hidden states and the independence of the local hidden variables, respectively. Based on giving the mathematical definitions of these steering scenarios, some necessary and sufficient conditions for a state to be unsteerable are obtained and sufficient conditions for a state to be steerable are also established.

Quantification of Gaussian Quantum Steering

Ioannis Kogias, Antony R. Lee, Sammy Ragy +1 more

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering incarnates a useful nonclassical correlation which sits between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. While a number of qualitative steering criteria exist, very little has been achieved for what concerns quantifying steerability. We introduce a computable measure of steering for arbitrary bipartite Gaussian states of continuous variable systems. For two-mode Gaussian states, the measure reduces to a form of coherent information, which is proven never to exceed entanglement, and to reduce to it on pure states. We provide an operational connection between our measure and the key rate in one-sided device-independent quantum key distribution. We further prove that Peres' conjecture holds in its stronger form within the fully Gaussian regime: namely, steering bound entangled Gaussian states by Gaussian measurements is impossible.

Witness high-dimensional quantum steering via majorization lattice

Ma-Cheng Yang, Cong-Feng Qiao

Quantum steering enables one party to influence another remote quantum state by local measurement. While steering is fundamental to many quantum information tasks, the existing detection methods in the literature are mainly constrained to either specific measurement scenario or low-dimensional systems. In this work, we propose a majorization lattice framework for steering detection, which is capable of exploring the steering in arbitrary dimension and measurement setting. Steering inequalities for two-qubit states, high-dimensional Werner states and isotropic states are obtained, which set even stringent bars than what has been reached yet. Notably, the known high-dimensional results turn out to be some kind of approximate limits of the new approach.
