Abstract
Based on a scheme that produces pure entanglement between the spin and the path variables of a single spin‐1/2 particle (qubit) using a beam‐splitter and a spin flipper, we formulate a procedure for transferring this intraparticle hybrid entanglement to an interparticle pure entanglement between the spin variables of two other spatially separated spin‐1/2 particles which never interact with each other during the entire process. We extend the above procedure to the case of mixed states. The mixed state is generated when path‐spin entanglement in a particle passes through a noisy channel such as an amplitude damping channel. We then show that the spin‐spin entanglement at the output is useful for quantum information processing if the noise parameter is less than a certain value.
