Abstract

We show a way to use an optical device set-up to generate the four-particle Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state of atoms, which are trapped separately in leaky cavities. Based on cavity decay, photons are transferred from the atom–cavity systems to a symmetric series of beam splitters and photon detectors. The events of photon detection on the output modes of the beam splitters project the state of the atom–cavity systems onto the GHZ state. It is briefly pointed out how this scheme can be extended to generate GHZ states of 4 m atoms.

Conditional generation of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state of four distant atoms via cavity decay

Xu‐Bo Zou, K. Pahlke, Wolfgang M. Mathis

We propose a scheme to generate a four-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state of distant atoms that are trapped separately in leaky cavities. This scheme uses cavity decay to inject photons into a setup of optical devices that consist of a symmetric series of beam splitters and photon detectors. Photon detection on the output modes of the beam splitters projects the atom-cavity-system state onto the GHZ state. It is briefly pointed out that this scheme can be extended to generate GHZ states of $4m$ atoms.

Quantum entanglement of four distant atoms trapped in different optical cavities

Xu‐Bo Zou, K. Pahlke, Wolfgang M. Mathis

We propose a unified scheme to generate $W$ states, Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, and cluster states of four distant atoms, which are trapped separately in leaky cavities. The proposed schemes require linear optical elements and photon detectors with single-photon sensitivity. The quantum noise influences the fidelity of the generated states. Further, based on the four-photon coincidence detection, we propose another scheme to generate the $W$ states and GHZ states of four distant atoms. The scheme is insensitive to the quantum noise, but cannot be used to generate the cluster states.

Robust Generation of Three-Particle W State with Atoms Trapped in Separate Cavities

Bin Xin, Ren-Xu Jia, Yi-Zhuang Zheng

This paper presents a scheme for generating three-particle W state of remote atoms trapped in leaky cavities. The scheme uses cavity decay to inject photons into a setup of optical devices which consist of a series of beam splitters and photon detectors. Photon detection on the output mode projects the atomic state into the W state. In the condition of "weakly driven approach", it shows that the scheme is robust and has high fidelity. It also points out that the scheme is scalable to generate multi-atomic W state.

Generation of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type States of n Atoms

Rui Shao

We propose a scheme for generating Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type states of n atoms trapped in the distant cavities by using interference of polarized photons. In our scheme, the atom-cavity coupling strength is smaller than the cavity decay rate. Thus, the requirement on the quality factor of the cavities is greatly relaxed. Furthermore, thefidelity of our scheme is not affected by the detection ineffciency and atomic decay.

Generation of an N-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state with distant atoms in bimodal cavities

Anshou Zheng, Ji-Bing Liu

A selective photon scheme is proposed to realize an N-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state with distant atoms trapped in spatially separated bimodal cavities coupled by optical fibres. The influence of deviations of some experimental parameters on our scheme is studied exactly and we prove that a highly reliable GHZ state is achievable. Moreover, we analyse the independence of fidelity on decoherence processes, such as atomic spontaneous emission, cavity decay and fibre losses. The results show that atomic spontaneous emission and fibre losses can be ignored in some special cases. With regards to the cavity decay, it indicates that a GHZ state with high fidelity may be realized in the current experiment.

Generation of four-atom Greenberger—Horn—Zeilinger state via adiabatic passage

Chun‐Ling Zhang, Mei-Feng Chen

We propose a scheme to generate a Greenberger—Horn—Zeilinger (GHZ) state of four atoms trapped in a two-mode optical cavity via an adiabatic passage. The scheme is robust against moderate fluctuations of the experimental parameters. Numerical calculations show that the excited probabilities of both the cavity modes and the atoms are tiny and depend on the pulse peaks of the classical laser fields. For certain decoherence due to the atomic spontaneous emission and the cavity decay, there exits a range of pulse peaks to get a high fidelity.

We propose a unified scheme to generate WWW states, Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, and cluster states of four distant atoms, which are trapped separately in leaky cavities. The proposed schemes require linear optical elements and photon detectors with single-photon sensitivity. The quantum noise influences the fidelity of the generated states. Further, based on the four-photon coincidence detection, we propose another scheme to generate the WWW states and GHZ states of four distant atoms. The scheme is insensitive to the quantum noise, but cannot be used to generate the cluster states.
