Abstract

Based on the interference effect of polarized photons, we propose a practical scheme for entanglement concentration of unknown atomic entangled states. In the scheme, two λλ-type atoms belonging to different entangled pairs are individually trapped in two spatially separated cavities. By the subsequent detection of the polarized photons leaking out of the separate optical cavities, Alice and Bob as two distant parties can probabilistically extract one maximally entangled four-atom Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state from two identical partially entangled Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) pairs. We also discuss the influence of cavity decay on the success probability of the scheme. The scheme is feasible and within the reach of current experimental technology.

Schemes for the generation of multipartite entanglement of remote atoms trapped in separate optical cavities

Hong‐Fu Wang, Xiao‐Qiang Shao, Yongfang Zhao +2 more

Based on the interference effect of polarized photons leaking out of separate cavities, we propose schemes for the generation of the N -atom Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state, three-atom W state and a genuine four-atom entangled state |χ⟩. In these schemes, each of the atoms is trapped separately in a remote optical cavity, and the possible spontaneous channels induced by the excited atoms lead to the coherent superposition of the states of the atoms. The desired multipartite entangled states can be generated with a certain success probability by the subsequent detection of the polarized photons in different modes. The schemes would be useful steps towards long-distance quantum communication, distributed quantum computation and constructing remote quantum information processing networks.

Practical scheme for entanglement concentration

Zhi Zhao, Jian-Wei Pan, Mingsheng Zhan

We present a realistic purification scheme for pure nonmaximally entangled states. In the scheme, two distant parties Alice and Bob first start with two shared but less entangled photon pairs to produce a conditional four-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state, and then perform a $45\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ polarization measurement onto one of the two photons at each location such that the remaining two photons are projected onto a maximally entangled state.

Scheme for Teleportation of Unknown Entangled Atomic States via Cavity Decay

Zhang Li-hua, Zheng‐Yuan Xue, Yang Ming +1 more

We present a physical scheme to teleport an unknown atomic entangled state via cavity decay. In the teleportation process, four-particle Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state is used as quantum channel, and two unknown entangled atoms and two of four atoms in the four-particle GHZ state are trapped in four leaky cavities, respectively. Based on the joint detection of the photons leak out from the four cavities, we can teleport an unknown entangled state to two other remote atoms with certain probability and high fidelity.

Entangling two distant atoms by interference of polarized photons

Xun‐Li Feng, Shangqing Gong, Zhizhan Xu

A scheme to generate the entanglement between two distant atoms by the interference of polarized photons is proposed. The model consists of two identical /spl Lambda/-type three-level atoms trapped in two distant optical cavities respectively. Each atom has a excited state |e> and two degenerate ground states |g/sub L/> and |g/sub R/>. The scheme is based on the interference effect where the coherent superposition of atomic states is generated in photon emission process. The scheme gives several advantages: (i) both atoms are excited simultaneously; (ii) the driving condition does not influence the fidelity of the final entangled states; and (iii) the influence of atomic recoil on the entanglement fidelity could be eliminated.
