Abstract

We analyze sharing Bell-type nonlocal correlation between two distant parties with optical hybrid states comprising a single photon polarization state and a multiphoton coherent state. By deploying entanglement swapping over the coherent state parts at the middle station, we show that the optical hybrid states can efficiently generate a polarization-entangled state that violates Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell-inequality well over a metropolitan distance. We further assess the quality of the shared entangled state in the information processing task of quantum teleportation of an unknown polarization qubit. Our results with realistic devices, embedding detection inefficiency and transmission losses, indicate the viability of faithful quantum teleportation over large distances, consistent with the quality of the shared correlation.

CHSH Bell tests for optical hybrid entanglement

Morteza Moradi, Juan Camilo López Carreño, Adam Buraczewski +4 more

Abstract Optical hybrid entanglement can be created between two qubits, one encoded in a single photon and another one in coherent states with opposite phases. It opens the path to a variety of quantum technologies, such as heterogeneous quantum networks, merging continuous- and discrete-variable encoding, and enabling the transport and interconversion of information. However, reliable characterization of the non-local nature of this quantum state is limited so far to full quantum state tomography. Here, we perform a thorough study of Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt Bell inequality tests, enabling practical verification of quantum nonlocality for optical hybrid entanglement. We show that a practical violation of this inequality is possible with simple photon number on/off measurements if detection efficiencies stay above 82%. Another approach, based on photon-number parity measurements, requires 94% efficiency but works well in the limit of higher photon populations. Both tests use no postselection of the measurement outcomes and they are free of the fair-sampling hypothesis. Our proposal paves the way to performing loophole-free tests using feasible experimental tasks such as coherent state interference and photon counting.

Quantum steering as resource of quantum teleportation

Yi Fan, Chuan-Lei Jia, Liang Qiu

Quantum steering, which lies between Bell nonlocality and entanglement, is a characteristic quantum correlation. Its application in quantum information tasks is worth pursuing. In this paper, we investigate the application of quantum steering as resource of quantum teleportation. It is found that two-qubit states violating the three-setting linear steering inequality are always useful for teleportation. Some steerable states which obey the Bell--Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality could be used for teleportation. Two-qubit states that are optimal for quantum teleportation for a fixed amount of steering are present. The optimal states achieve the maximal average fidelity and also exhibit zero fidelity deviation.

Loophole-free Bell-inequality violation between atomic states in cavity-QED systems mediated by hybrid atom-light entanglement

Pei-Zhe Li, Soumyakanti Bose, Hyunseok Jeong +3 more

We present a feasible and scalable approach to testing Bell nonlocality and implementing device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) between distant atomic states in cavity-based architectures, mediated by hybrid atom-light entanglement. We develop a full theoretical model that incorporates realistic sources of noise -- such as transmission loss, limited light-matter coupling efficiency, and imperfect detection. Our analysis shows that strong Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) violations and secure key generation over tens of kilometers are within reach using current or near-term technology. These results position cavity-based platforms with coherent-state encodings as a promising foundation for future scalable, DI quantum communication networks.

Teleportation of a multiphoton qubit using hybrid entanglement with a loss-tolerant carrier qubit

Seongjeon Choi, Seok-Hyung Lee, Hyunseok Jeong

It was shown that using multiphoton qubits, a nearly deterministic Bell-state measurement can be performed with linear optics and on-off photodetectors [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 113603 (2015)]. However, multiphoton qubits are generally more fragile than single-photon qubits under a lossy environment. In this paper, we propose and analyze a scheme to teleport multiphoton-qubit information using hybrid entanglement with a loss-tolerant carrier qubit. We consider three candidates for the carrier qubit: a coherent-state qubit, a single-photon polarization qubit, and a vacuum-and-single-photon qubit. We find that teleportation with the vacuum-and-single-photon qubit tolerates about 10 times greater photon losses than with the multiphoton qubit of the photon number $N\ensuremath{\ge}4$ in the high fidelity regime ($F\ensuremath{\ge}90%$). The coherent-state qubit encoding may be even better than the vacuum-and-single-photon qubit as the carrier when its amplitude is as small as $\ensuremath{\alpha}<0.78$. We further point out that the fidelity of the teleported state by our scheme is determined by loss in the carrier qubit while the success probability depends on loss only in the multiphoton qubit to be teleported. Our study implies that the hybrid architecture may complement the weaknesses of each qubit encoding.

Hybrid Entanglement between Optical Discrete Polarizations and Continuous Quadrature Variables

Jianming Wen, Irina V. Novikova, Chen Qian +2 more

By coherently combining advantages while largely avoiding limitations of two mainstream platforms, optical hybrid entanglement involving both discrete and continuous variables has recently garnered widespread attention and emerged as a promising idea for building heterogenous quantum networks. In contrast to previous results, here we propose a new scheme to remotely generate hybrid entanglement between discrete polarization and continuous quadrature optical qubits heralded by two-photon Bell-state measurement. As a novel nonclassical light resource, we further use it to discuss two examples of ways—entanglement swapping and quantum teleportation—in which quantum information processing and communications could make use of this hybrid technique.
