Chiral Majorana interference as a source of quantum entanglement

Abstract

Two-particle Hanbury Brown--Twiss interferometry with chiral Majorana modes produces maximally entangled electron-hole pairs. We promote the electron-hole quantum number to an interferometric degree of freedom and complete the set of linear tools for single- and two-particle interferometry by introducing a key phase gate that, combined with a Mach-Zehnder, allows full electron-hole rotations. By considering entanglement witnesses built on current cross-correlation measurements, we find that the possibility of independent local-channel rotations in the electron-hole subspace leads to a significant boost of the entanglement detection power.

Nonlocal Two Particle Interferometry & Entanglement Generation from Majorana Bound States

Sougato Bose, Pasquale Sodano

We show that a one dimensional device supporting a pair of Majorana bound states at its ends can produce remarkable Hanbury-Brown Twiss like interference effects between well separated Dirac fermions of pertinent energies. We find that the simultaneous scattering of two incoming electrons or two incoming holes from the Majorana bound states leads exclusively to an electron-hole final state. This anti-bunching in electron-hole internal pseudospin space can be detected through current-current correlations. Further, we show that, by scattering appropriate spin polarized electrons from the Majorana bound states, one can engineer a non-local entangler of electronic spins for quantum information applications. Both the above phenomena should be observable in diverse physical systems enabling to detect the presence of low energy Majorana modes.

Nonlocal Hanbury–Brown–Twiss interferometry and entanglement generation from Majorana bound states

Sougato Bose, Pasquale Sodano

We show that a one-dimensional device supporting a pair of Majorana bound states (MBS) at its ends can produce remarkable Hanbury–Brown–Twiss-like interference effects between well-separated Dirac fermions of pertinent energies. We find that the simultaneous scattering of two incoming electrons or two incoming holes from the MBS leads exclusively to an electron–hole final state. This 'anti-bunching' in electron–hole internal pseudospin space can be detected through current–current correlations. Further, we show that, by scattering appropriate spin-polarized electrons from the MBS, one can engineer a non-local entangler of electronic spins for quantum information applications. Both the above phenomena should be observable in diverse physical systems enabling us to detect the presence of low-energy Majorana modes.

Two-particle entanglement in capacitively coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometers

Andrey A. Vyshnevyy, A. V. Lebedev, Gordey B. Lesovik +1 more

We propose and analyze a mesoscopic device producing on-demand entangled pairs of electrons. The system consists of two capacitively coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometers implemented in a quantum Hall structure. A pair of electron wave packets is injected into the chiral edge states of two (of the four) incoming arms; scattering on the incoming interferometers splits the wave packets into four components, of which two interact. The resulting interaction phase associated with this component leads to the entanglement of the state; the latter is scattered at the outgoing beam splitter and analyzed in a Bell violation test measuring the presence of particles in the four outgoing leads. We study the two-particle case and determine the conditions to reach and observe full entanglement. We extend our two-particle analysis to include the underlying Fermi seas in the quantum Hall device; the change in shape of the wave function, the generation of electron-hole pairs in the interaction regime, and a time delay between the pulses all reduce the degree of visible entanglement and the violation of the Bell inequality, effects which we analyze quantitatively. We determine the device settings optimizing the entanglement and the Bell test and find that violation is still possible in the presence of the Fermi seas, with a maximal Bell parameter reaching $\mathcal{B}=2.18>2$ in our setup.

Dynamical generation and detection of entanglement in neutral leviton pairs

David Dasenbrook, Christian Flindt

The entanglement of coherently split electron-hole pairs in an electronic conductor is typically not considered accessible due to particle number conservation and fermionic superselection rules. We demonstrate here that current cross-correlation measurements at the outputs of an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer can nevertheless provide a robust witness of electron-hole entanglement. Specifically, we consider neutral excitations generated by modulating the transmission of an unbiased quantum point contact periodically in time. For an optimized modulation profile, an entangled state with one positively-charged leviton (a hole) and one negatively-charged leviton (an electron) gets delocalized over the two paths of the interferometer and is detected at the output arms. We evaluate the influence of finite electronic temperatures and dephasing corresponding to recent experiments.
