Entanglement transfer between atomic qubits and thermal fileds

Shi-Biao Zheng, Rongxin Chen

Published May 1, 2013• 0 citations

Abstract

We investigate entanglement reciprocation between atomic qubits and cavity fields initially in a thermal state. We show that the entanglement between the atomic qubits can be fully transferred to the mixed fields through displacement operation and resonant atom-cavity interaction. This is a rare example, in which quantum systems in mixed states can be used as the memory for entanglement. The entanglement can be retrieved by another atomic pair. Apart from fundamental interest, the results are useful for implementation of quantum networking with atom-field interface in the microwave regime.

Macroscopic superposition and entanglement for displaced thermal fields induced by a single atom

Shi‐Biao Zheng

We show that a cavity field can evolve from an initial displaced mixed thermal state to a macroscopic superpositions of displaced thermal states via resonant interaction with a two-level atom. As a macroscopic system (meter) is really in a mixed state before coupling with the microscopic system at some temperature, our result is important for studying the quantum measurement problem and decoherence under real conditions. For the two-mode case, entanglement of displaced thermal states between the modes can be obtained.

Entanglement reciprocation between atomic qubits and entangled coherent state

Zhou, L, Yang, G H

Introducing classical fields, we can transfer entanglement completely from discrete qubits into entangled coherent state. The entanglement also can be retrieved from the continuous-variable state of the cavities to the atomic qubits. Via postselection measure, atomic entangled state and entangled coherent state can be mutual transformed fully.

Transfer of quantum entangled states between superconducting qubits and microwave field qubits

Tong Liu, Bao-qing Guo, Y. H. Zhou +4 more

Transferring entangled states between matter qubits and microwave-field (or optical-field) qubits is of fundamental interest in quantum mechanics and necessary in hybrid quantum information processing and quantum communication. We here propose a way for transferring entangled states between superconducting qubits (matter qubits) and microwave-field qubits. This proposal is realized by a system consisting of multiple superconducting qutrits and microwave cavities. Here, “qutrit” refers to a three-level quantum system with the two lowest levels encoding a qubit while the third level acting as an auxiliary state. In contrast, the microwave-field qubits are encoded with coherent states of microwave cavities. Because the third energy level of each qutrit is not populated during the operation, decoherence from the higher energy levels is greatly suppressed. The entangled states can be deterministically transferred because measurement on the states is not needed. The operation time is independent of the number of superconducting qubits or microwave-field qubits. In addition, the architecture of the circuit system is quite simple because only a coupler qutrit and an auxiliary cavity are required. As an example, our numerical simulations show that high-fidelity transfer of entangled states from two superconducting qubits to two microwave-field qubits is feasible with present circuit QED technology. This proposal is quite general and can be extended to transfer entangled states between other matter qubits (e.g., atoms, quantum dots, and NV centers) and microwave- or optical-field qubits encoded with coherent states.
