Abstract

We present a universal analyzer for the three-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states with quantum nondemolition parity detectors and linear-optics elements. In our scheme, all of the three-photon GHZ states can be discriminated with nearly unity probability in the regime of weak nonlinearity feasible at the present state of the art experimentally. We also show that our scheme can be easily extended to the analysis of the multi-particle GHZ states.

Quantum nondemolition measurement of two-photon Bell-state and three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-state based on weak nonlinearities

Ding Dong, Yan Feng-Li

The scheme for quantum nondemolition measurement of two-photon Bell-state and three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ)-state is proposed based on weak nonlinearities and linear-optics elements. We first describe a scheme of the symmetry analyzer for two-photon Bell-state by using beam splitters and cross-Kerr nonlinear medium. According to this symmetry analyzer for two-photon Bell-state and the controlled-NOT gates we construct a three-photon state analyzer which can completely and nondestructively discriminate eight three-photon GHZ states.

Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-state analyzer

Jian-Wei Pan, Anton Zeilinger

Using just polarizing beam splitters and half-wave plates, we present a practical experimental scheme, by which one can conveniently identify two of the three-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. The scheme can easily be generalized to the $N$-particle case. The GHZ-state analyzer is essential for multiparticle generalizations of quantum dense coding, quantum teleportation, and entanglement swapping.

Complete deterministic multi-electron Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state analyzer for quantum communication

Hai‐Rui Wei, Bao‐Cang Ren, Mei Zhang +2 more

We present a scheme for the multi-electron Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state analyzer, resorting to an interface between the polarization of a probe photon and the spin of an electron in a quantum dot embedded in a microcavity. All the multi-spin GHZ states can be completely discriminated by using single-photon detectors and linear optical elements. Our scheme has some features. First, it is a complete GHZ-state analyzer for multi-electron spin systems. Second, the initial entangled states remain after being identified and they can be used for a successive task. Third, the electron qubits are static and the photons play a role of a medium for information transfer, which has a good application in quantum repeater in which the electron qubits are used to store the information and the photon qubits are used to transfer the information between others.

Preparation and purification of four-photon Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state

Ying-Qiu He, Dong Ding, Feng-Li Yan +1 more

We present an efficient scheme for the preparing and purifying of the four-photon Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state based on linear optics and postselection. First, we describe how to create a four-photon GHZ state in both polarization and spatial degrees of freedom from two pairs. Moreover, in the presence of depolarization noise our scheme is capable of purifying the desired state. In the regime of weak nonlinearity we design an indirect photon number-resolving detection to distinguish two states of the two pairs. At last, a fourfold coincidence detector click indicates the creation of a polarization-entangled four-photon GHZ state.

Deterministic state analysis for polarization-spatial-time-bin hyperentanglement with nonlinear optics

Meiyu Wang, Fengli Yan, Ting Gao

Abstract We present two deterministic hyperentangled state analysis protocols for photons entangled in polarization, spatial-mode and time-bin degrees of freedom (DOFs). The first protocol is a hyperentangled Bell state analyzer, and the second is a hyperentangled Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state analyzer for three photons. In the first scheme, we construct a polarization parity-check quantum nondemolition detector (P-QND) and a spatial-mode parity-check quantum nondemolition detector (S-QND) based on cross-Kerr nonlinearities. With these P-QND and S-QND, we design the setup of Bell state analyzer in polarization and spatial-mode DOFs. While time-bin entanglement is discriminated with the help of the polarization entanglement. We generalize the idea to analyze the three-photon hyperentangled GHZ states. In each scheme, a set of mutually orthogonal hyperentangled basis states are completely discriminated via three steps. These two state analysis schemes are expected to provide practical applications for high-capacity and long-distance quantum communication.

Resource-efficient analyzer of Bell and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of multiphoton systems

Tao Li, Adam Miranowicz, Keyu Xia +1 more

We propose a resource-efficient error-rejecting entangled-state analyzer for polarization-encoded multiphoton systems. Our analyzer is based on two single-photon quantum-nondemolition detectors, where each of them is implemented with a four-level emitter (e.g., a quantum dot) coupled to a one-dimensional system (such as a micropillar cavity or a photonic nanocrystal waveguide). The analyzer works in a passive way and can completely distinguish ${2}^{n}$ Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states of $n$ photons without using any active operation or fast switching. The efficiency and fidelity of the GHZ-state analysis can, in principle, be close to unity, when an ideal single-photon scattering condition is fulfilled. For a nonideal scattering, which typically reduces the fidelity of a GHZ-state analysis, we introduce a passively error-rejecting circuit to enable a near-perfect fidelity at the expense of a slight decrease of its efficiency. Furthermore, the protocol can be directly used to perform a two-photon Bell-state analysis. This passive, resource-efficient, and error-rejecting protocol can, therefore, be useful for practical quantum networks.
