Generation of atomic Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states and cluster states through cavity-assisted interaction

Abstract

This paper proposes a scalable scheme to generate n -atom GHZ states and cluster states by using the basic building block, i.e., a weak coherent optical pulse |α〉 being reflected successively from a single-atom cavity. In the schemes, coherent state of light is used instead of single photon source, homodyne measurement on coherent light is done instead of single photon detection, and no need for individually addressing keeps the schemes easy to implement from the experimental point of view. The successful probabilities of our protocols approach unity in the ideal case.

Generation of Multiple-Photon GHZ State via Cavity-Assisted Interaction

Du Qian-Hua, Libo Chen, Lin Gong-Wei +3 more

We propose a scheme for preparing multiple-photon GHZ state via cavity-assisted interaction. There are n -pair single-photon pulses successively injected and reflected from two sides of the cavity, which traps one atom. After the atomic state is measured, a 2 n -photon GHZ state is produced. In the ideal case, the successful probability of the scheme is close to unity.

Scheme for implementing W state, Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state, and cluster state via cavity-assisted interaction

Bao‐Long Fang, Ye Liu

We propose a proposal for preparing the entanglement state among four trapped atoms via cavity-assisted interaction. In this scheme, a basic architecture will be built to produce the entangled state of four remote atoms. By adjusting a series of parameters and taking the single-photon pulses measurement, the architecture can realize the W state, the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state, and the cluster state. Further, this scheme is insensitive to variation of the atom–photon coupling rate.

Generation of Atomic Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger States Based on Faraday Rotation

Liang Hong-Hui, Xinghua Li

Based on the input-output relation of the cavity and the Faraday Rotation mechanism, we propose a scheme for generating the n-atom Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state. In the scheme, the n-atom trapped respectively in n spatially separate cavities would be entangled with the photons going through the atom-cavity system. The successful probabilities of our protocol approach unity in the ideal case. What is more, no requirement for separately addressing further lowers experimental difficulties.

Realization of a Multiqubit Conditional Phase Gate by Virtue of a Weak Coherent Light Field

Huang Xiu-Hua, Zhihua Chen, Tang Yao-Xiang +1 more

We propose a scalable scheme to generate a multiqubit conditional phase gate by using a basic building block, i.e., a weak coherent optical pulse |α〉 reflected successively from a cavity with trapped atoms. In the scheme, we use a coherent state of light instead of a single photon source, homodyne measurement on a coherent light field instead of single photon detection, which reduces the complexity of the practical experiment. The outcomes of these measurements indicate either completion of the gate or the presence of the original qubits such that the operation can be repeated until it is successful.

Generation of GHZ state and cluster state with atomic ensembles via the dipole-blockade mechanism

Ni Bin-Bin, Gu Yong-Jian, Xiaodong Chen +3 more

This paper proposes scalable schemes to generate the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state and the cluster state with atomic ensembles via the dipole blockade mechanism on an atom chip, where the qubit is not carried by a single atom but an atomic ensemble. In the protocols, multiqubit entangled states are determinately prepared. Needlessness for single-photon source further decreases the complexity of the experiment. Based on the present laboratory technique, the schemes may be realized. The achieved results reveal a prospect for large-scale quantum communication and quantum computation.

Efficient generation of entangled multiphoton graph states from a single atom

Philip Thomas, Leonardo Ruscio, Olivier Morin +1 more

Abstract The central technological appeal of quantum science resides in exploiting quantum effects, such as entanglement, for a variety of applications, including computing, communication and sensing 1 . The overarching challenge in these fields is to address, control and protect systems of many qubits against decoherence 2 . Against this backdrop, optical photons, naturally robust and easy to manipulate, represent ideal qubit carriers. However, the most successful technique so far for creating photonic entanglement 3 is inherently probabilistic and, therefore, subject to severe scalability limitations. Here we report the implementation of a deterministic protocol 4–6 for the creation of photonic entanglement with a single memory atom in a cavity 7 . We interleave controlled single-photon emissions with tailored atomic qubit rotations to efficiently grow Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states 8 of up to 14 photons and linear cluster states 9 of up to 12 photons with a fidelity lower bounded by 76(6)% and 56(4)%, respectively. Thanks to a source-to-detection efficiency of 43.18(7)% per photon, we measure these large states about once every minute, which is orders of magnitude faster than in any previous experiment 3,10–13 . In the future, this rate could be increased even further, the scheme could be extended to two atoms in a cavity 14,15 or several sources could be quantum mechanically coupled 16 , to generate higher-dimensional cluster states 17 . Overcoming the limitations encountered by probabilistic schemes for photonic entanglement generation, our results may offer a way towards scalable measurement-based quantum computation 18,19 and communication 20,21 .
