Linear optical realization of unambiguous quantum state comparison

Lin Qing

Published Jan 1, 2009• 4 citations
Publisher

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an experimental scheme for unambiguous quantum state comparison assisted by linear optical manipulations, twin-photons produced from parametric down-conversion, and postselection from the coincidence measurement. In this scheme the preparation of the general two mixed qubit states with arbitrary prior probabilities and the realization of the optimal POVMs for unambiguous quantum state comparison are presented. This proposal is feasible by current experimental technology, and may be used in single-qubit quantum flngerprinting.

Linear optical realization of universal unambiguous discrimination of quantum state

Lin Qing, 福建省华侨大学厦门校区信息科学与工程学院,厦门 361021

In this letter, we propose an experimental scheme of universal unambiguous discrimination with only linear optical elements and the coincidence measurements. In addition, a modified scheme is presented to increase the success probability with ancillary photons. This scheme is feasible by current experimental technology and may be used in quantum cryptography.

Simple experimental scheme of teleporting a two-qubit state via linear optical elements

Yuan Hong-Chun, 李恒梅, Qi Kai-Guo

We propose a simple experimental scheme in which an unknown two-qubit state is faithfully and deterministically teleported from Alice to Bob. The scheme is constructed with four photons from parametric down conversion, linear optical elements, and conventional photon detectors, all of which are available in current technology. It is shown that the probability of successful teleportation ideally reaches 100% based on single-photon two-qubit-assisted Bell-state measurement, which can distinguish all four Bell-states simultaneously via conventional photon detectors. By generalizing the scheme, the teleportation of an unknown multi-qubit system can also be realized.

Implementation of unambiguous comparison for unknown pure quantum states with cavity-assisted interaction

Liu‐Yong Cheng, Hong‐Fu Wang, Shou Zhang +1 more

We propose two effective schemes for local and remote unknown atomic state comparisons with a cavity-assisted single photon input—output process without any initial entanglement or auxiliary resource. The unambiguous state discrimination is considered using the state comparison process as the basic module. All the implementation schemes here just involve common quantum logic gates and the single qubit measurement. The analysis shows that our schemes are feasible under the current experimental conditions.

Simple experimental scheme of preparing a four-photon entangled state for the teleportation-based realization of a linear optical controlled-NOT gate

Yuuki Tokunaga, Takashi Yamamoto, Masato Koashi +1 more

We propose a simple experimental scheme of preparing a four-photon entangled state, which is a useful resource for two-qubit quantum operations, e.g., the controlled-NOT gate. The scheme can successfully postselect the events of the desired four-photon entangled state in the coincidence basis and can be constructed with four photons from parametric down conversion, linear optical devices, and conventional photon detectors, all of which are available in current technology. We also show an experimental scheme for a controlled-NOT gate based on teleportation with the prepared four-photon state.

Generalized measurements for optimally discriminating two mixed states and their linear-optical implementation

Ulrike Herzog, Oliver J. Benson

Measurement schemes for discriminating two given mixed states of a quantum system have been optimized with respect to various criteria. In many cases the optimum measurements are generalized ones, characterized by detection operators that are not projectors. Here we focus on two generalized measurements. The first refers to the discrimination of two mixed qubit states with maximum confidence at a minimum probability of inconclusive results, and the second to the optimum unambiguous discrimination of two mixed states that are connected by a special similarity transformation. For both measurements we consider linear-optical implementations using single-photon polarization states.
