Manipulation of entanglement localization under quantum noises and its application to entanglement distribution

Abstract

The effect of quantum noise on entanglement localization is investigated. We show that the optimal strategy for reducing a multiparticle entangled state to a two-particle one via local measurements in the noise-free case is different from that in a noisy environment, and explore the best von Neumann measurement on one of three qubits of a triple Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state for extracting a two-qubit entangled state in the presence of local amplitude noises. We also demonstrate that the idea of entanglement localization can be utilized to improve the quality of bipartite entanglement distributing through noisy quantum channels. These results might shed a new light on entanglement manipulations and transformations.

Manipulation of tripartite-to-bipartite entanglement localization under quantum noises and its application to entanglement distribution

This paper is to investigate the effects of quantum noises on entanglement localization by taking an example of reducing a three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state to a two-qubit entangled state. We consider, respectively, two types of quantum decoherence, i.e., amplitude-damping and depolarizing decoherence, and explore the best von Neumann measurements on one of three qubits of the triple GHZ state for making the amount of entanglement of the collapsed bipartite state be as large as possible. The results indicate that different noises have different impacts on entanglement localization, and that the optimal strategy for reducing a three-qubit GHZ state to a two-qubit one via local measurements and classical communications in the amplitude-damping case is different from that in the noise-free case. We also show that the idea of entanglement localization could be utilized to improve the quality of bipartite entanglement distributing through amplitude-damping channels. These findings might shed a new light on entanglement manipulations and transformations.

Enhancing teleportation via noisy channels: Effects of the induced multipartite entanglement

Víctor H. T. Brauer, Andrea Valdés-Hernández

Quantum teleportation in the presence of noisy channels acting on a bipartite resource state is considered. We consider a family of generalized noisy channels that continuously connect the amplitude damping and the dephasing channels, encompassing a wide family of in-between scenarios, to delve into the relation between the teleportation success and the amount of three- and four-partite entanglement (distributed among the qubits of the resource state and those representing local environments) generated during the evolution. Our analysis reveals that for a fixed entanglement of the resource state, the channels that better protect the teleportation fidelity against the detrimental effects of noise are those that generate higher amounts of (Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger--type) multipartite entanglement. This suggests that the dynamically induced multipartite correlations may serve as an additional resource for teleportation and provides insight into the characterization of processes and of the type of induced entanglement according to their ability to assist the protocol.

Entanglement dynamics of three-qubit states in local many-sided noisy channels

Michael Siomau

We study entanglement dynamics of pure three-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger-type entangled states when one, two or three qubits are subjected to general local noise. Employing a lower bound for three-qubit concurrence as an entanglement measure, we show that for some many-sided noisy channels the entanglement dynamics can be completely described by the evolution of the entangled states in single-sided channels.

Entanglement detection under coherent noise: Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-like states

You Zhou

Entanglement is an essential resource in many quantum information tasks and the entanglement witness is a widely used tool for its detection. In experiments the prepared state generally deviates from the target state due to some noise. Normally the white-noise model is applied to quantifying such a derivation and at the same time reveals the robustness of the witness. However, there may exist other kinds of noise, in which the coherent noise can dramatically ``rotate'' the prepared state. In this way, coherent noise is likely to lead to a failure of detection, even though the underlying state is actually entangled. In this work, we propose an efficient entanglement detection protocol for $N$-partite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ)--like states. The protocol can eliminate the effect of coherent noise and at the same time feedback the corresponding noise parameters, which are beneficial to further improvements of the experiment system. In particular, we consider two experiment-relevant coherent noise models; one is from the unconscious phase accumulation on $N$ qubits, and the other is from the rotation on the control qubit. The protocol effectively realizes a family of entanglement witnesses by postprocessing the measurement results from $N+2$ local measurement settings, which adds only one more setting than the original witness specialized for the GHZ state. Moreover, by considering the trade-off between the detection efficiency and the white-noise robustness, we further reduce the number of local measurements to three without altering the performance under the coherent noise. Our protocol can enhance entanglement detection under coherent noises and act as a benchmark for state-of-the-art quantum devices.

Effect of weak measurement on entanglement distribution over noisy channels

Xin-Wen Wang, Sixia Yu, Deng-Yu Zhang +1 more

Being able to implement effective entanglement distribution in noisy environments is a key step towards practical quantum communication, and long-term efforts have been made on the development of it. Recently, it has been found that the null-result weak measurement (NRWM) can be used to enhance probabilistically the entanglement of a single copy of amplitude-damped entangled state. This paper investigates remote distributions of bipartite and multipartite entangled states in the amplitudedamping environment by combining NRWMs and entanglement distillation protocols (EDPs). We show that the NRWM has no positive effect on the distribution of bipartite maximally entangled states and multipartite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, although it is able to increase the amount of entanglement of each source state (noisy entangled state) of EDPs with a certain probability. However, we find that the NRWM would contribute to remote distributions of multipartite W states. We demonstrate that the NRWM can not only reduce the fidelity thresholds for distillability of decohered W states, but also raise the distillation efficiencies of W states. Our results suggest a new idea for quantifying the ability of a local filtering operation in protecting entanglement from decoherence.

Hierarchies of localizable entanglement due to spatial distribution of local noise

Ratul Banerjee, Amit Kumar Pal, Aditi Sen

Complete characterization of a noisy multipartite quantum state in terms of entanglement requires full knowledge of how the entanglement content in the state is affected by the spatial distribution of noise in the state. Specifically, we find that if the measurement basis in the protocol of computing localizable entanglement and the basis of the Kraus operator representing the local noisy channel do not commute, the information regarding the noise is retained in the system even after the qubit is traced out after measurement. Using this result and the basic properties of entanglement under noise, we present a set of hierarchies that localizable entanglement over a specific subsystem in a multiqubit state can obey when local noise acts on the subparts or on all the qubits of the whole system. In particular, we propose two types of hierarchies---one tailored according to the number of noisy unmeasured qubits, and the other one that depends additionally on the cardinality of the set of noisy measured qubits, leading to the classification of quantum states. We report the percentage of states satisfying the proposed hierarchies in the case of random three- and four-qubit systems and show, using both analytical methods and numerical simulations, that in almost all the cases, anticipated hierarchies tend to hold with the variation of the strength of noise.
