A Quantum Communication Protocol Transferring Unknown Photons Using Path-Polarization Hybrid Entanglement

Abstract

We propose a protocol for transferring photons of unknown states to a distant location using path-polarization hybrid entanglement. Our protocol uses a polarizing beam splitter (PBS), a beam splitter (BS), a CNOT-operation, four unitary operations and polarizing detectors. In our protocol, the hybrid entangled states are generated by the PBS, and it is transmitted through the quantum channel containing the BS and CNOT-gate. The measurement results of the polarizing detectors and classical communications determine which unitary operation will be used in the last step for recovering initial states. The security of the channel in transmitting unknown photons between two parties is confirmed by the results of the measurement of each target photon in the control mode.

An error-free protocol for quantum entanglement distribution in long distance quantum communication

Shamsolah Salemian, Shahram Mohammadnejad

Quantum entanglement distribution is an essential part of quantum communication and computation protocols. Here, linear optic elements are employed for distribution of quantum entanglement over long distance. Polarization beam splitters and wave plates are used for realization of an error-free protocol for broadcasting quantum entanglement in optical quantum communication. This protocol can determine maximum distance of quantum communication to transmit quantum information without decoherence. Error detection and error correction are performed in the proposed scheme. In other words, if bit-flip occurs along the quantum channel, the end stations (Alice and Bob) can detect this state changing and obtain the correct state (entangled photon) on the another port. Existing general error detection protocols are based on the quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) or similar quantum logic operations, which are very difficult to implement experimentally. Here we present a feasible scheme for the implementation of entanglement distribution based on linear optics element that does not need quantum CNOT gate.

Non-maximally hybrid entangled state as quantum channel for quantum teleportation of single-rail qubit

Mikhail S. Podoshvedov, Sergey A. Podoshvedov

Abstract A protocol for quantum teleportation of an unknown single-rail qubit through the non-maximally entangled hybrid state is proposed. The hybrid quantum channel consists of continuous variable (CV) states of certain parity and photonic states and is characterized by two parameters: a squeezing parameter of single-mode squeezed vacuum state and the beam splitter (BS) parameter, on which the entangled state can be realized. The CV part of the hybrid state is in Alice’s location, while discrete variable half is controlled by Bob. A balanced BS is used to mix the CV part of the hybrid quantum state with an unknown optical single-rail qubit, followed by measurement of the number of photons in two measuring channels. Proper choice of the hybrid entangled state parameter values compensates for the initial amplitude distortion coefficient of the entangled state by the induced factor, so that Bob can obtain the initial qubit in the case of single photon measurement. With other measurement outcomes, Bob can obtain a qubit that has already undergone a unitary transformation, which he can use to teleport to other participants. We show that the proposed method is a generalization of quantum teleportation of single rail qubit via a nonlocal photon acting as a quantum channel.

Bidirectional quantum teleportation of unknown photons using path-polarization intra-particle hybrid entanglement and controlled-unitary gates via cross-Kerr nonlinearity

Jino Heo, Changho Hong, Jongin Lim +1 more

We propose an arbitrary controlled-unitary (CU) gate and a bidirectional quantum teleportation (BQTP) scheme. The proposed CU gate utilizes photonic qubits (photons) with cross-Kerr nonlinearities (XKNLs), X-homodyne detectors, and linear optical elements, and consists of the consecutive operation of a controlled-path (C-path) gate and a gathering-path (G-path) gate. It is almost deterministic and feasible with current technology when a strong coherent state and weak XKNLs are employed. Based on the CU gate, we present a BQTP scheme that simultaneously teleports two unknown photons between distant users by transmitting only one photon in a path-polarization intra-particle hybrid entangled state. Consequently, it is possible to experimentally implement BQTP with a certain success probability using the proposed CU gate.

A Protocol for Conversion of Path-Spin to Spin-Spin Quantum Entanglement

Indranil Bayal, Pradipta Panchadhyayee

The present model deals with a protocol which involves the generation and conversion of entanglement from path-spin (P-S) hybrid entanglement associated with half-spin particle to spin-spin (S-S) interparticle entanglement. This protocol finds its applications in quantum information processing via a series of operations which include a beam splitter, spin flipper, spin measurement, classical channel, unitary transformations. Finally, it leads to two particles having completely entangled spin variables, without any requirement of any simultaneous operation on the two particles.
