Entanglement Manipulation and Concentration in Mixed States

Rob Thew, Kae Nemoto, William J. Munro

Published Feb 24, 2006• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We introduce a simple experimentally realisable protocol for manipulating entanglement in mixed states of two polarisation-entangled qubits and show how concentration is achievable. We discuss a second protocol based on entanglement swapping with mixed states and show how the shared entanglement between distant parties can be improved.

Entanglement manipulation and concentration

Rob Thew

We introduce a simple, experimentally realizable, entanglement manipulation protocol for exploring mixed-state entanglement. We show that for both nonmaximally entangled pure, and mixed polarization-entangled two-qubit states, an increase in the degree of entanglement and purity, is achievable.

Manipulation of Entangled States for Quantum Information Processing

Sougato Bose, Susana F. Huelga, Daniel Jonathan +4 more

Entanglement manipulation, and especially Entanglement Swapping is at the heart of current work on quantum information processing, purification and quantum teleportation. We will discuss how it may be generalized to multiparticle systems and how this enables multi-user quantum cryptographic protocols to be developed. Our scheme allows us to establish multiparticle entanglement between particles which belong to distant users in a communication network through a prior distribution of Bell state singlets followed by local measurements. We compare our method for generating entanglement with existing schemes using simple quantum networks, and highlight the advantages and applications in cryptographic conferencing and in reading messages from more than one source through a single quantum measurement. We also discuss how entanglement leads to the idea of ‘telecloning’, in which a teleportation-like protocol can be found which reproduces the output of an optimal quantum cloning machine. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Concentration and purification scheme for two partially entangled photon pairs

Takashi Yamamoto, Masato Koashi, Nobuyuki Imoto

An experimental scheme for concentrating entanglement in partially entangled photon pairs is proposed. In this scheme, two separated parties obtain one maximally entangled photon pair from two previously shared partially entangled photon pairs by local operations and classical communication. A practical realization of the proposed scheme is discussed, which uses imperfect photon detectors and spontaneous parametric down-conversion as a photon source. This scheme also works for purifying a class of mixed states.

Experimental demonstration of entanglement reduction and restoration for three party secret sharing

Curtis J. Broadbent, Irfan Ali Khan, John C. Howell

We perform an experimental demonstration of the physical mechanism utilized by most three party secret sharing protocols. By local operations at distant locations, we reduce and restore entanglement in a polarization entangled bipartite qubit system.

Entanglement and swap of quantum states in two qubits

IkutoTakaya, IshizakaSatoshi

Suppose that two distant parties Alice and Bob share an entangled state ρAB, and they want to exchange the subsystems of ρAB by local operations and classical communication (LOCC). In general, this...

Entanglement concentration in Bose-Einstein condensates

Jacob Dunningham, Sougato Bose, Leah Henderson +2 more

We propose a scheme for demonstrating entanglement swapping (i.e., teleportation of entanglement) using trapped Bose-Einstein condensates. This is accomplished by detection of the total number of atoms leaking out of two adjacent traps. We describe how this scheme may be used to concentrate entanglement shared between two parties in the form of entangled condensates.
