Generation of cluster-type entangled coherent states using weak nonlinearities

Abstract

We propose a scheme to generate a recently introduced type of entangled coherent states using realistic weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities and intense laser beams. An intense laser can be filtered to make a faint one to be used for production of a single photon which is necessary in our scheme. The optical devices used are conventional ones such as interferometer, mirrors, beam-splitters, phase-shifters and photo-detectors. We also provide a detailed analysis on the effects of possible imperfections and decoherence showing that our scheme is robust against such effects.

Generation of Cluster-Type Entangled Coherent States via Cross-Kerr Nonlinearity

Wenfeng Wang, Xin‐Yuan Sun, Xiaobing Luo

We propose an optical scheme for the generation of the cluster-type entangled coherent states in free travelling optical fields via cross-Kerr nonlinearity. The required resources for the generation are coherent state source, beam splitters, photodetectors, and Kerr media. We also discuss the implementation of the Hadamard gate operation for coherent states and the homodyne detection.

Entanglement generation with coherent states using cross-Kerr nonlinearity

Si Yu Song, Shuhao Wang, Guo Fu Xu +1 more

We propose methods for generating Bell-type entangled coherent states for quantum information processing. The protocols are completed using linear optical elements, single-photon detectors, and cross-Kerr nonlinearity. We investigate the decoherence effect on our protocols; photon loss is found to affect only the probability, not the fidelity, of the generation process. The entanglement of the generated entangled states is also analyzed using concurrence. Finally, the feasibility of our scheme is discussed using the continuous-time cross-phase modulation model. In the weak nonlinearity region, on the condition that θ2|αp|2∼1, θ≪1, and σ2≪1, our scheme is applicable theoretically.

Generation of four-photon polarization entangled states with cross-Kerr nonlinearity

Meiyu Wang, Fengli Yan

We show how to prepare three different types of four-photon polarization entangled states among four modes. The scheme only use cross-Kerr medium, polarization beam splitters and X homodyne measurements on coherent light fields, which can be efficiently implemented in quantum optical laboratories. GHZ states and symmetric Dick states can be generated in deterministic way based on the scheme. With the possible availability of suitable strong Kerr nonlinearity, another type of entangled state called genuine four-photon entangled state can be realized as well.

Generation of Four-Mode Cluster-Type Entangled Coherent States in Free-Traveling Optical Fields

Dai-Guo He, Yuli Dong, Fang Jian-Xing +2 more

In this paper, we propose an optical scheme to generate four-mode cluster-type entangled coherent states (ECSs) in free traveling optical fields by using two single-photon sources, coherent state sources, beam splitters, photodetectors, cross-Kerr media, and phase shifters. And the success probability of the states preparation is calculated. At last we discuss the experimental feasibility of such proposal.

Generation of Four-Photon Cluster State with Coherent Light via Cross-Kerr Nonlinearity

Du Qian-Hua, Ye Ming-Yong, Zhihua Chen +2 more

We propose two schemes for preparing four-photon cluster state through cross-Kerr nonlinearity. Two coherent fields interact when they enter a nonlinear Kerr medium. If the interaction time is chosen appropriately in each Kerr medium, four-photon cluster state can be generated based on the results of two homodyne detectors in the first scheme. These schemes only use Kerr medium and homodyne measurements on coherent light fields, which can be efficiently made in quantum optical laboratories. In addition, weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity is sufficient. All of the properties make these schemes feasible in experiments.

Simple Scheme for Preparation of Six-photon Entangled States via Cross-Kerr Medium

朱孟正 Zhu Meng-zheng, 赵春然 Zhao Chun-ran

A scheme is presented for preparing maximally entangled states among six modes.The scheme only utilizes weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity and momentum quadrature homodyne measurements on the probe mode of intense coherent light fields.It is relatively easy to generate Dicke states and W states of light fields in the scheme.It is not necessary that the cross-Kerr nonlinearity is very large,as long as the coherent light is bright enough.Therefore,this scheme is within the reach of current technology.In addition,only weak coherent light beams,with which single-photon sources have been replaced in the signal modes,are needed in the present scheme since it is difficult to realize single-photon sources in experiments.
