Fusion of W states in a cavity quantum electrodynamic system

Abstract

In this paper, we study how to fuse two W states into a larger W state in a cavity quantum electrodynamic system. Two atoms are collided within a detuned vacuum cavity mode. One atom is from the first N-atom W state system, and the other is from the second M-atom W state system. The two atoms will be detected after flying out of the cavity mode. If only one excitation is detected between the two atoms, an (N + M − 2)-atom W state can be generated with some probability. If no excitation is detected between the two atoms, the remaining (N − 1)-atom W state and (M − 1)-atom W state can be re-fused using the same procedure, continuing until two excitations are detected between the two atoms. Using this procedure, the chance of entanglement of the two W states is as large as possible. A feasibility analysis indicates that this scheme can be implemented using existing experimental technologies.

Generating multi-atom entangled W states via light-matter interface based fusion mechanism

Xue-Ping Zang, Ming Yang, Fatih Özaydin +2 more

W state is a key resource in quantum communication. Fusion technology has been proven to be a good candidate for preparing a large-size W state from two or more small-size W states in linear optical system. It is of great importance to study how to fuse W states via light-matter interface. Here we show that it is possible to prepare large-size W-state networks using a fusion mechanism in cavity QED system. The detuned interaction between three atoms and a vacuum cavity mode constitute the main fusion mechanism, based on which two or three small-size atomic W states can be fused into a larger-size W state. If no excitation is detected from those three atoms, the remaining atoms are still in the product of two or three new W states, which can be re-fused. The complicated Fredkin gate used in the previous fusion schemes is avoided here. W states of size 2 can be fused as well. The feasibility analysis shows that our fusion processes maybe implementable with the current technology. Our results demonstrate how the light-matter interaction based fusion mechanism can be realized, and may become the starting point for the fusion of multipartite entanglement in cavity QED system.

Fusing atomic W states via quantum Zeno dynamics

Y. Q. Ji, X. Q. Shao, X. X. Yi

We propose a scheme for preparation of large-scale entangled W states based on the fusion mechanism via quantum Zeno dynamics. By sending two atoms belonging to an n-atom W state and an m-atom W state, respectively, into a vacuum cavity (or two separate cavities), we may obtain a (n + m - 2)-atom W state via detecting the two-atom state after interaction. The present scheme is robust against both spontaneous emission of atoms and decay of cavity, and the feasibility analysis indicates that it can also be realized in experiment.

Preparation of entangled W states based on the cavity QED system

Ke Li, Jun‐Long Zhao

Abstract We present a qubit-loss-free (QLF) fusion scheme for generating large-scale atom W states in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) system. Compared to the most current fusion schemes which are conditioned on the case where one particle can be extracted from each initial W state to the fusion process, our scheme will access one or two particles from each W state. Based on the atom–cavity-field detuned interaction, three |W〉 n+m+t states can be generated from the |W〉 n , |W〉 m , and |W〉 t states with the help of two auxiliary atoms, and three |W〉 n+m+t+q states can be generated from |W〉 n , |W〉 m , |W〉 t , and a |W〉 q state with the help of three auxiliary atoms. Comparing the numerical simulations of the resource cost of fusing three small-size W states based on the previous schemes, our fusion scheme seems to be more efficient. This QLF fusion scheme can be generalized to the case of fusing k different or identical particle W states. Furthermore, with no qubit loss, it greatly reduces the number of fusion steps and prepares W states with larger particle numbers.

Utilizing Rydberg superatoms to fuse the W state and the GHZ state

Q. P. Shao, Jian Wang, Yan‐Qiang Ji +3 more

Multiparticle entanglement has important applications in quantum information and quantum computing. Here, we propose two schemes to fuse large-scale entangled W states and GHZ states. In the first fusion scheme, we send two Rydberg superatoms that belong to an n particle W state and an m particle W state, respectively, into a vacuum cavity; an ( n + m −2) particle W state can be obtained by detecting the state of the superatoms after the interaction. In the second fusion scheme, we send two Rydberg superatoms into two separate cavities; with the assistance of a circularly polarized photon, we can obtain a ( k + l ) particle GHZ state after detecting the state of the photon. The numerical simulation analysis shows that both schemes are robust against the spontaneous emission of superatoms and the decay of the cavity. The feasibility analysis indicates that these two schemes can be realized in experiments.
