Abstract

According to the Nielsens theorem and the basic idea of entanglement concentration, we improve and extend the deterministic entanglement concentration protocol that extracts one pair of maximally entangled particles out of two pairs of non-maximally entangled particles, thus establishing a deterministic entanglement concentration protocol that extracts two pairs of maximally entangled particles out of three pairs of non-maximally entangled particles in the way of the classical communication and local operation and the specific positive operator-valued measure. This is helpful for establishing a deterministic entanglement concentration protocol that extracts k pairs of maximally entangled particles out of n pairs of non-maximally entangled particles.

Explicit Protocol for Deterministic Entanglement Concentration

Gu Yong-Jian, Peng Gao, Guo Guang-Can

We present an explicit protocol for extraction of an EPR pair from two partially entangled pairs in a deterministic fashion via local operations and classical communication. This protocol is constituted by a local measurement described by a positive operator-valued measure (POVM), one-way classical communication, and a corresponding local unitary operation or a choice between the two pairs. We explicitly construct the required POVM by the analysis of the doubly stochastic matrix connecting the initial and the final states. Our scheme might be useful in future quantum communication.

Protocol and quantum circuits for realizing deterministic entanglement concentration

Yongjian Gu, Wendong Li, Guang‐Can Guo

Entanglement concentration can be achieved in a deterministic fashion [Morikoshi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 3189 (2000); Phys. Rev. A 64, 022316 (2001)]. We present a protocol for deterministic extraction of an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pair from two partially entangled pairs via local operations and classical communication. This protocol consists of a generalized measurement described by a positive operator-valued measure (POVM), one-way classical communication, and a corresponding unitary operation or a choice between the two pairs. Based on the theory of majorization, we explicitly construct the required POVM, which can be realized by performing a unitary operation in the extended space and a conventional Von Neuman orthogonal measurement. By decomposing the evolution process from the initial state to the final state, we construct the quantum circuits for realizing the unitary operation with quantum Toffoli gates, and thus provide a physical means to realize the deterministic entanglement concentration. Our method for constructing quantum circuits differs from the usual method based on decomposition of unitary matrices, and is convenient for a large class of quantum processes involving generalized measurements.

Deterministic entanglement concentration

Fumiaki Morikoshi, Masato Koashi

Deterministic extraction of Bell pairs from a finite number of partially entangled pairs is discussed. We derive the maximum number of Bell pairs that can be obtained with probability 1 by local operations and classical communication. It is proved that the optimal deterministic concentration needs only a two-pair collective manipulation in each step, and that a collective manipulation of all entangled pairs is not necessary. Finally, this scheme reveals an entanglement measure for the deterministic concentration.

Deterministic multicopy entanglement concentration

Jie Zhao, Wendong Li, Yongjian Gu

The determinisitc entanglement concentration (DEC) protocol under local operations and classical communication (LOCC) for three-copy partially entangled states in bipartite systems is presented. The explicit elements of the operators used are calculated due to the general construction of the generalized measurement operator and the corresponding permutation matrices. The measurement is implemented based on the direct sum extension under the motivation to extend the initial state space with minimum number of ancillary dimensions. Morever, the concentration protocol is generalized to the DEC for n-copy multi-partite GHZ-class states. It is also pointed out that the formation of the measurement operator and the algorithms used to calculate its elements can be utilized in more general cases achieving the feasible entanglement transformation that is clarified by Nielsen's theorem, such as the transformation between arbitrary bipartite states in multicopy and high-dimensional cases and so does multi-partite GHZ-class states.

Establishment of multiparticle maximal entanglement from nonmaximally entangled pairs in a communication network

Shi‐Biao Zheng

We describe a protocol for establishing multiparticle entanglement among particles belonging to distant users using nonmaximally entangled pairs in a communication network. Each of the users shares nonmaximally entangled pairs with the control centre. A series of controlled-not operations, measurements and a one-qubit rotation are performed at the control centre. Then the particles belonging to the users collapse to a maximally or nonmaximally entangled state. Any user may concentrate the nonmaximally entangled state into a maximally entangled state probabilistically.

THE CONCENTRATION PROTOCOL OF A TWO-PARTICLE NON-MAXIMALLY ENTANGLED STATE AMONG THREE CAVITIES

Peng Xu, Liu Ye

We propose a scheme for concentrating an arbitrary two-particle non-maximally entangled state into a maximally entangled state assisted with three cavities. The scheme involves two interaction–detection cycles and resonant interaction between atom and cavity mode. With the help of the atom trapped in the cavity, the concentration of a two-particle non-maximally entangled state trapped in separate cavities can be realized with a certain probability according to the results of photon detectors. The important feature of our scheme is that we can realize the concentration of an arbitrary two-atom non-maximally entangled state and we do not perform Bell-state measurements.
