Application of quantum algorithms to direct measurement of concurrence of a two-qubit pure state

Abstract

This paper proposes a method to measure directly the concurrence of an arbitrary two-qubit pure state based on a generalized Grover quantum iteration algorithm and a phase estimation algorithm. The concurrence can be calculated by applying quantum algorithms to two available copies of the bipartite system, and a final measurement on the auxiliary working qubits gives a better estimation of the concurrence. This method opens new prospects of entanglement measure by the application of quantum algorithms. The implementation of the protocol would be an important step toward quantum information processing and more complex entanglement measure of the finite-dimensional quantum system with an arbitrary number of qubits.

Measurability of D-concurrence

Naser Karimi, Ahmad Heshmati, Marziyeh Yahyavi +2 more

An effective approach to quantify entanglement of any bipartite systems is D-concurrence, which is important in quantum information science. In this paper, we present a direct method for experimental determination of the D-concurrence of an arbitrary bipartite pure state. To do this, we show that measurement of the D-concurrence of bipartite pure state can be conversed into the measurement performed on some observables so called generalized Gell-Mann operators. We first introduce the concept of D-concurrence for a bipartite system. Then we explain the method of measuring this entanglement measure for the pure state. Finally, for clarify of the subject, we give an example consisting of two parties A and B with dimensions 3.

Direct measurement of concurrence for atomic two-qubit pure states

Guillermo Romero, C. E. López, F. Lastra +2 more

We propose a general scheme to measure the concurrence of an arbitrary two-qubit pure state in atomic systems. The protocol is based on one- and two-qubit operations acting on two available copies of the bipartite system, and followed by a global qubit readout. We show that it is possible to encode the concurrence in the probability of finding all atomic qubits in the ground state. Two possible scenarios are considered: atoms crossing three-dimensional microwave cavities and trapped ion systems.

Quantification of concurrence via weak measurement

Mikko Tukiainen, H. Kobayashi, Yutaka Shikano

Since entanglement is not an observable per se, measuring its value in practice is a difficult task. Here we propose a protocol for quantifying a particular entanglement measure, namely, concurrence, of an arbitrary two-qubit pure state via a single fixed measurement setup by exploiting so-called weak measurements and the associated weak values together with the properties of the Laguerre-Gaussian modes. The virtue of our technique is that it is generally applicable for all two-qubit systems and does not involve simultaneous copies of the entangled state. We also propose an explicit optical implementation of the protocol.

Concurrence Measurement for the Two-Qubit Optical and Atomic States

Lan Zhou, Yu‐Bo Sheng

Concurrence provides us an effective approach to quantify entanglement, which is quite important in quantum information processing applications. In the paper, we mainly review some direct concurrence measurement protocols of the two-qubit optical or atomic system. We first introduce the concept of concurrence for a two-qubit system. Second, we explain the approaches of the concurrence measurement in both a linear and a nonlinear optical system. Third, we introduce some protocols for measuring the concurrence of the atomic entanglement system.

Characterization of pure quantum states of multiple qubits using the Groverian entanglement measure

Yishai Shimoni, Daniel Shapira, Ofer Biham

The Groverian entanglement measure $G(\ensuremath{\psi})$ is applied to characterize pure quantum states $\ensuremath{\mid}\ensuremath{\psi}⟩$ of multiple qubits. This is an operational measure of entanglement in the sense that it quantifies the utility of the state $\ensuremath{\mid}\ensuremath{\psi}⟩$ as an initial state for the search algorithm. A convenient parametrization is presented, which allows us to calculate the Groverian measure analytically for certain states of high symmetry. A numerical procedure is used in order to calculate it for arbitrary pure states of multiple qubits. Using the Groverian measure to evaluate the entanglement produced by quantum algorithms may provide useful insight into the role of entanglement in making quantum algorithms powerful. Here we calculate $G(\ensuremath{\psi})$ for the intermediate states generated during the evolution of Grover's algorithm for various initial states and for different sets of marked states. It is shown that Grover's iterations generate highly entangled states in intermediate stages of the quantum search process, even if the initial state and the target state are product states.

Quantum walk inspired algorithm for directly measuring two-qubit entanglement

Qiao-Ling Tang, Yu Huang, Ming Yang +6 more

Abstract Direct measurement of entanglement is an efficient method for obtaining the degree of entanglement without full reconstruction of the quantum state. But most of the current entanglement direct measurement schemes are designed for the states in specific physical systems, and are not universal for different physical systems. So, in this paper, we want to design a universal direct measurement algorithm for the entanglement of two-qubit states, where universal means that the algorithm does not depend on specific physical systems. Although the conventional quantum walk (QW) model does not have this universal property, we find that by introducing auxiliary qubits and CNOT gates in quantum circuits, a generalized QW model can be realized in any qubit system, i.e. it is universal for different physical systems. Inspired by the universal property of this generalized QW model, a universal quantum algorithm is designed for directly measuring the entanglement degree of two-qubit states, which we call the QW inspired algorithm. To demonstrate the feasibility of the algorithm, analytical calculations and numerical simulations for three representative quantum states are studied. The results show that the algorithm can be used to directly measure two-qubit entanglement, and the universality of the algorithm guarantees that it works not only in optical systems but also in any other physical system. Furthermore, this algorithm may find more applications in other quantum information tasks necessitating qubit–qubit coupling.
