TRANSLATIONAL ENTANGLEMENT AND TELEPORTATION OF MATTER WAVEPACKETS BY COLLISIONS AND HALF-COLLISIONS

Abstract

To date, the translationally-entangled state originally proposed by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) in 1935 has not been experimentally realized for massive particles. Opatrný and Kurizki [Phys. Rev. Lett.86, 3180 (2000)] have suggested the creation of a position- and momentum-correlated, i.e., translationally-entangled, pair of particles approximating the EPR state by dissociation of cold diatomic molecules, and further manipulation of the EPR pair effecting matter-wave teleportation. Here we aim at setting the principles of and quantifying translational entanglement by collisions and half-collisions. In collisions, the resonance width s and the initial phase-space distributions are shown to determine the degree of post-collisional momentum entanglement. Half-collisions (dissociation) are shown to yield different types of approximate EPR states. We analyse a feasible realization of translational EPR entanglement and teleportation via cold-molecule Raman dissociation and subsequent collisions, resolving both practical and conceptual difficulties it has faced so far: How to avoid entanglement loss due to the wavepacket spreading of the dissociation fragments? How to measure both position and momentum correlations of the dissociation fragments with sufficient accuracy to verify their EPR correlations? How to reliably perform two-particle (Bell) position and momentum measurements on one of the fragments and the wavepacket to be teleported?

Matter-Wave Entanglement and Teleportation by Molecular Dissociation and Collisions

Tomáš Opatrný, Gershon Kurizki

We propose dissociation of cold diatomic molecules as a source of atom pairs with highly correlated (entangled) positions and momenta, approximating the original quantum state introduced by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) [Phys. Rev. 47, 777 (1935)]. Wave packet teleportation is shown to be achievable by its collision with one of the EPR correlated atoms and manipulation of the other atom in the pair.

Free matter wavepacket teleportation via cold-molecule dynamics

Lior Fisch, Gershon Kurizki

We explore the feasibility of creating a translationally entangled state for massive particles, and its use for matter wave teleportation by means of cold-molecule Raman dissociation and association in optical traps.

Teleportation as a measure of entanglement for an arbitrary state of two qubits

J. Grondalski, Daniel F. V. James

Summary form only given. Characterizing the entanglement of a general bipartite quantum system is a difficult problem. Most measures involve difficult extremizations and their physical motivation is not always clear. In this paper we propose an experimental measure of entanglement based on a modified version of the familiar teleportation protocol of Bennett et al. (1993). Briefly, teleportation traditionally involves two parties, Alice and Bob. Initially, Alice has a qubit in an unknown quantum state which she would like to communicate to Bob and Bob has two qubits in an entangled Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair. To accomplish this transfer, Bob shares one qubit of his EPR pair with Alice. She then performs a joint measurement or Bell measurement on her two qubits and relays this information back to Bob over a classical channel. Bob then uses the outcome of Alice's Bell measurement to transform his qubit, with a local unitary transformation, into the original quantum state, always with a fidelity of one.

Proposal for Translational Entanglement of Dipole-Dipole Interacting Atoms in Optical Lattices

Tomáš Opatrný, Bimalendu Deb, Gershon Kurizki

We propose and investigate a realization of the position- and momentum-correlated Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) states [Phys. Rev. 47, 777 (1935)]] that have hitherto eluded detection. The realization involves atom pairs that are confined to adjacent sites of two mutually shifted optical lattices and are entangled via laser-induced dipole-dipole interactions. The EPR "paradox" with translational variables is then modified by lattice-diffraction effects and can be verified to a high degree of accuracy in this scheme.

EPR pairs of particles and quantum teleportation

Yue Zhang

Teleporting a quantum state,the sender Alice disassembles the entire informations into two parts: one purely classical information and the another purely non-classical information,then sends them to the receiver Bob via two different channels.Firstly,sending the purely non-classical part,the EPR pair which consists of two fermions with the spin of 1 2 here plays the key role in the teleportation,one EPR particle is given to Alice,while the other is given to Bob.Alice performs a complete measurement of the von Neumann type on the joint system consisting of the original particle and her EPR particle,this measurement performed in the four eigenstates of the Bell operator leads to collapse the wave packet of the joint wavefunction into the four correlated Bell bases.Through applying the appropriate unitary transformation to the state of his EPR particle Bob can reconstruct a replica of the original state destroyed in Alice's hand.Moreover,this Bell measurement produces two bits of classical information which is sent to Bob,a quantum teleportation is therefore completed.The paper studies the interior relation between EPR pairs of particles and the quantum teleportation.
