Direct measurement of the concurrence for two-qubit electron spin entangled pure state based on charge detection

Abstract

We propose a protocol for directly measuring the concurrence of a two-qubit electronic pure entangled state. To complete this task, we first design a parity-check measurement (PCM) which is constructed by two polarization beam splitters (PBSs) and a charge detector. By using the PCM for three rounds, we can achieve the concurrence by calculating the total probability of picking up the odd parity states from the initial states. Since the conduction electron may be a good candidate for the realization of quantum computation, this protocol may be useful in future solid quantum computation.

Direct measurement of the concurrence of hybrid entangled state based on parity check measurements

Man Zhang, Lan Zhou, Wei Zhong +1 more

The hybrid entangled state is widely discussed in quantum information processing. In this paper, we propose the first protocol to directly measure the concurrence of the hybrid entangled state. To complete the measurement, we design parity check measurements (PCMs) for both the single polarization qubit and the coherent state. In this protocol, we perform three rounds of PCMs. The results show that we can convert the concurrence into the success probability of picking up the correct states from the initial entangled states. This protocol only uses polarization beam splitters, beam splitters, and weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities, which is feasible for future experiments. This protocol may be useful in future quantum information processing.

Direct measurement of the concurrence of two-photon polarization-entangled states

Li-Hua Zhang, Qing Yang, Ming Yang +2 more

We present three protocols for directly measuring the concurrence of two-photon polarization-entangled states, including pure states and mixed states. Two signal photon pairs in the same polarization-entangled states are needed in each detection round, and the signal photons will pass through polarization-independent beam splitters simultaneously. The concurrence of the photon pairs will be encoded in the total probability of picking up the balanced states in the two output modes of the beam splitter, which can be directly measured by single-photon detectors. The photon detection efficiency can be further enhanced with the help of the weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity, and the signal photons will not be absorbed. The third scheme using the bilateral nondemolition measurements can measure the concurrence of both pure and mixed states with high efficiency and high fidelity and is robust against the copy error of the state to be measured. The sophisticated controlled-not operation of the previous schemes is not required here, so our protocols are more feasible within the current experimental technology.

Efficient multipartite entanglement concentration of electron-spin state with charge detection

Zhou, Lan, Jiong Liu, Sheng-Yang Zhao

We present two entanglement concentration protocols (ECPs) for arbitrary three-electron W state based on their charges and spins. Different from other ECPs, in both two ECPs, with the help of the electronic polarization beam splitter (PBS) and charge detection, the less-entangled W state can be concentrated into a maximally entangled state only with some single charge qubits. The second ECP is more optimal than the first one, for by constructing the complete parity check gate, the second ECP can be used repeatedly to further concentrate the less-entangled state and obtain a higher success probability. Therefore, both the ECPs, especially the second one may be useful in current quantum information processing.

Measurement of arbitrary two-photon entanglement state with the photonic Faraday rotation

Lan Zhou

We propose an efficient protocol for measuring the concurrence of arbitrary two-photon pure entangled state with the help of the photonic Faraday rotation. In the protocol, the concurrence of the photonic entangled state can be conversed into the total success probability for picking up the odd-parity photonic state. For completing the measurement task, we require some auxiliary three-level atoms, which are trapped in the low-quality cavities. Our protocol can be well realized under current experimental conditions. Moreover, under practical imperfect atom state detection and photonic Faraday rotation conditions, our protocol can also work well. Based on these features, our protocol may be useful in current quantum information processing.

Electronic cluster state entanglement concentration based on charge detection

Jiong Liu, Sheng-Yang Zhao, Lan Zhou +1 more

We propose an efficient entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) based on electron-spin cluster states assisted with single electrons. In the ECP, we adopt the electron polarization beam splitter (PBS) and the charge detector to construct the quantum nondemolition measurement. According to the result of the measurement of the charge detection, we can ultimately obtain the maximally entangled cluster states. Moreover, the discarded items can be reused in the next round to reach a high success probability. This ECP may be useful in current solid quantum computation.

Direct measurement of nonlocal entanglement of two-qubit spin quantum states

Liu‐Yong Cheng, Guo-Hui Yang, Qi Guo +2 more

We propose efficient schemes of direct concurrence measurement for two-qubit spin and photon-polarization entangled states via the interaction between single-photon pulses and nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond embedded in optical microcavities. For different entangled-state types, diversified quantum devices and operations are designed accordingly. The initial unknown entangled states are possessed by two spatially separated participants, and nonlocal spin (polarization) entanglement can be measured with the aid of detection probabilities of photon (NV center) states. This non-demolition entanglement measurement manner makes initial entangled particle-pair avoid complete annihilation but evolve into corresponding maximally entangled states. Moreover, joint inter-qubit operation or global qubit readout is not required for the presented schemes and the final analyses inform favorable performance under the current parameters conditions in laboratory. The unique advantages of spin qubits assure our schemes wide potential applications in spin-based solid quantum information and computation.
