Entanglement purification and concentration of electron-spin entangled states using quantum-dot spins in optical microcavities

Abstract

We present an entanglement purification protocol and an entanglement concentration protocol for electron-spin entangled states, resorting to quantum-dot spin and optical-microcavity-coupled systems. The parity-check gates (PCGs) constructed by the cavity-spin-coupling system provide a different method for the entanglement purification of electron-spin entangled states. This protocol can efficiently purify an electron ensemble in a mixed entangled state. The PCGs can also concentrate electron-spin pairs in less-entangled pure states efficiently. The proposed methods are more flexible as only single-photon detection and single-electron detection are needed.

Entanglement purification based on hybrid entangled state using quantum-dot and microcavity coupled system

Chuan Xi Wang, Yong Zhang, Ru Zhang

We theoretically investigate an entanglement purification protocol with photon and electron hybrid entangled state resorting to quantum-dot spin and microcavity coupled system. The present system is used to construct the parity check gate which allows a quantum non-demolition measurement on the spin parity. The cavity-spin coupled system provides a novel experimental platform of quantum information processing with photon and solid qubit.

Self-error-rejecting multipartite entanglement purification for electron systems assisted by quantum-dot spins in optical microcavities

Yong-Ting Liu, Yi-Ming Wu, Fang‐Fang Du

We present a self-error-rejecting multipartite entanglement purification protocol (MEPP) for N-electron-spin entangled states, resorting to the single-side cavity-spin-coupling system. Our MEPP has a high efficiency containing two steps. One is to obtain high-fidelity N-electron-spin entangled systems with error-heralded parity-check devices (PCDs) in the same parity-mode outcome of three electron-spin pairs, as well as M-electron-spin entangled subsystems (2 ≤ M < N) in the different parity-mode outcomes of those. The other is to regain the N-electron-spin entangled systems from M-electron-spin entangled states utilizing entanglement link. Moreover, the quantum circuits of PCDs make our MEPP works faithfully, due to the practical photon-scattering deviations from the finite side leakage of the microcavity, and the limited coupling between a quantum dot and a cavity mode, converted into a failed detection in a heralded way.

Compact entanglement concentration for three-electron-spin W states with error-detected parity-check gates

Gang Fan, Xue-Mei Ren, Fang‐Fang Du

Abstract We present a compact entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for unknown less-entangled three-electron-spin W states, resorting to the interaction rules between the circularly polarized photon and cavity-quantum-dot (QD) system. In the first step of our ECP, the parties utilize two less-entangled three-electron-spin systems not only to obtain one partially entangled three-electron-spin system with two unknown parameters if the odd-parity occurs with the parity-check gate (PCG) but also to get one entangled two-electron-spin system if the even-parity occurs. By exploiting the above three-electron-spin and two-electron-spin systems as the resource for the second step of our ECP, the parties can obtain a standard three-electron-spin W state if the odd parity occurs. Meanwhile, the systems in the even-parity instance can be used as the resource in the next round of our ECP. As the imperfect performances originated from the side leakage and the limited coupling strength of the cavity-QD system can be reflected by clicking the single-photon detectors, the fidelity of the PCG is unit, in principle, immune to strong coupling-strength restriction. Moreover, the success of our ECP not only is heralded by the detectors but also its efficiency further is improved by repeating the operation processes. Therefore, our ECP is useful in the quantum communication network.

Efficient W-state entanglement concentration using quantum-dot and optical microcavities

Yu‐Bo Sheng, Lan Zhou

We present an entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for the less-entangled W-state with quantum-dot and microcavity coupled systems. The present protocol uses quantum nondemolition measurement on the spin parity to construct the hybrid parity check gate. Different from other ECPs, the less-entangled W-state with quantum-dot and microcavity coupled systems can be concentrated with the help of some single photons. The most significant advantage is that during the whole ECP, we do not destroy the W-state and only consume some local single photons. The whole protocol can be repeated to obtain a higher success probability. It may be useful in current quantum information processing.

Theoretical concept of error-rejecting entanglement purification of quantum-dots electronic spins in single-sided optical microcavity

Jingyao Wang, Xin Wang

Abstract We use the quantum-dots (QD) coupled with single-sided microcavities system to construct the error-rejecting controlled not (CNOT) gate of electronic spins system in QD; We have designed an error-rejecting entanglement purification protocol (EPP) of electronic spins system in QD by using the error-rejecting CNOT gate and unitary operation. It can extract the high entanglement from the mixed entanglement states of the electronic spins with low entangled states. This EPP can eliminate the operation errors caused by the nonideal interaction between photons and QD coupled with optical microcavities system, and improve the fidelity of the EPP through iteration. Our scheme is more practical in future long-distance quantum communications, especially providing significant benefits for solving decoherence problems in quantum networks and quantum repeaters.

Efficient entanglement concentration for partially entangled electrons using a quantum-dot and microcavity coupled system

Chuan Xi Wang

We present an efficient entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for electron spins based on quantum-dot and microcavity coupled systems. In our ECP, each two-electron spin system in a partially entangled state can be concentrated with the assistance of an ancillary quantum dot and a single photon, not two copies of two-electron spin systems. With current and near-future technology, the locally maximal entanglement of electron spins can be achieved, and our ECP can be used in long-distance quantum communications.
