Broadband teleportation and entanglement in cascaded open quantum systems

Changsuk Noh

Quantum optics provides powerful means to probe quantum mechanics. In this \nthesis, we study various aspects of quantum phenomena arising in quantum optical \nsystems. Part I studies broadband quantum teleportation. After presenting three \ndifferent methods of analyzing the standard teleportation protocol, we study the \ninterplay between various bandwidths in determining the fidelity of a broadband \nquantum field teleportation. Explicit formulae for the degrees of first- and secondorder \ncoherence for the teleportation of resonance fluorescence are derived for this \npurpose. Part II studies entanglement arising in cascaded open quantum (optical) \nsystems. First, a detailed laser model is produced within quantum trajectory theory \nto study the total decoherence rate of a laser-driven qubit. Second, using this model, \nwe address the issue of laser quantum state, viewed in connection with separability \nof the laser-driven-qubit system. Third, a measure of entanglement within quantum \ntrajectory theory called ‘Contextual Entanglement’ is calculated for a few simple \nsystems and compared with the ‘Entanglement of Formation’. Lastly, we introduce \na method to quantify entanglement (based on the contextual entanglement) between \na source and the field it emits, which we call the ‘Entanglement Spectrum’. It is \napplied to study the entanglement between a laser-driven qubit and the field the \nqubit scatters.

Generation of Massively Entangled Bright States of Light during Harmonic Generation in Resonant Media

Sili Yi, Nikolai D. Klimkin, Graham G. Brown +4 more

At the fundamental level, full description of light-matter interaction requires quantum treatment of both matter and light. However, for standard light sources generating intense laser pulses carrying quadrillions of photons in a coherent state, the classical description of light during intense laser-matter interaction has been expected to be adequate. Here, we show how nonlinear optical response of matter can be controlled to generate dramatic deviations from this standard picture, including generation of several squeezed and entangled harmonics of the incident laser light. In particular, such nontrivial quantum states of harmonics are generated as soon as one of the harmonics induces a transition between different laser-dressed states of the material system. Such transitions generate an entangled light-matter wave function, which can generate quantum states of harmonics even in the absence of a quantum driving field or material correlations. In turn, entanglement of the material system with a single harmonic generates and controls entanglement between different harmonics. Hence, nonlinear media that are near resonant with at least one of the harmonics appear to be quite attractive for controlled generation of massively entangled quantum states of light. Our analysis opens remarkable opportunities at the interface of attosecond physics and quantum optics, with implications for quantum information science.

Enhanced Electron–Electron Entanglement in Few-Cycle Laser-Atom Interactions

Jingyu Zhang, Zhifeng Cao, Xiaolei Hao +2 more

Abstract The rapid advancements of ultrafast intense laser technology have opened new avenues for investigating entanglement in laser-induced systems. However, the application of these advances in quantum technology requires a reliable and universally applicable method for enhancing and regulating entanglement. Here we demonstrate how a few-cycle intense laser field can significantly enhance the degree of entanglement compared to its multi-cycle counterpart, using the example of electron–electron entanglement of orbital angular momentum (OAM) states in recollision-excitation non-sequential double ionization of Ar atoms. By confining the ionization dynamics to a specific narrow time window, the few-cycle pulse purifies the electron trajectories, thereby ensuring high coherence between entangled OAM channels and enhancing entanglement. Furthermore, the degree of entanglement can be efficiently modulated by varying the carrier envelope phase of the few-cycle laser pulse, which is achieved by altering the population across OAM channels. Optimizing coherence through electron trajectory purification with a designed specific temporal waveform of laser field provides a general pathway for enhancing entanglement in laser-induced systems.
