Electronic cluster state entanglement concentration based on charge detection

Abstract

We propose an efficient entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) based on electron-spin cluster states assisted with single electrons. In the ECP, we adopt the electron polarization beam splitter (PBS) and the charge detector to construct the quantum nondemolition measurement. According to the result of the measurement of the charge detection, we can ultimately obtain the maximally entangled cluster states. Moreover, the discarded items can be reused in the next round to reach a high success probability. This ECP may be useful in current solid quantum computation.

Efficient multipartite entanglement concentration of electron-spin state with charge detection

Zhou, Lan, Jiong Liu, Sheng-Yang Zhao

We present two entanglement concentration protocols (ECPs) for arbitrary three-electron W state based on their charges and spins. Different from other ECPs, in both two ECPs, with the help of the electronic polarization beam splitter (PBS) and charge detection, the less-entangled W state can be concentrated into a maximally entangled state only with some single charge qubits. The second ECP is more optimal than the first one, for by constructing the complete parity check gate, the second ECP can be used repeatedly to further concentrate the less-entangled state and obtain a higher success probability. Therefore, both the ECPs, especially the second one may be useful in current quantum information processing.

Efficient electronic entanglement concentration assisted by single mobile electrons

Yu-Bo Sheng, Lan Zhou

We present an efficient entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for mobile electrons with charge detection. This protocol is quite different from other ECPs for one can obtain a maximally entangled pair from a pair of less-entangled state and a single mobile electron with a certain probability. With the help of charge detection, it can be repeated to reach a higher success probability. It also does not need to know the coefficient of the original less-entangled states. All these advantages may make this protocol useful in current distributed quantum information processing.

Consequent entanglement concentration of a less-entangled electronic cluster state with controlled-not gates

Lan Zhou

We present a highly efficient entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for a four-electron system in a less-entangled cluster state. In this ECP, we only require one pair of less-entangled electron cluster states and one ancillary electron to complete the task. With the help of the controlled-not (CNOT) gate, the concentrated maximally entangled state can be retained for further application with some success probability. On the other hand, the discarded items can be reused to obtain a high success probability. All the features make this ECP useful in the current quantum information field.

Single-qubit-assisted entanglement concentration of partially entangled multi-electron spinWstates

Dan Liu, Cong Yan, Wei Ma

We propose an entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for nonlocal N -electron systems in a partially entangled W state, resorting to ancillary single electrons and charge detection. Compared with other ECPs for W states, our ECP has some advantages. Firstly, only an entangled N -electron system is required in each round of entanglement concentration, not two copies. Secondly, only one of the users, say Charlie, needs to perform the protocol, while all parties should perform the same operations as Charlie in other ECPs for W -class states. Thirdly, only Charlie asks other parties to retain or discard their electrons, and they do not need to check their measurement results, which greatly simplifies the complication of classical communication. Fourthly, our ECP has a higher success probability than other ECPs for W -class states as the parties can recycle their concentration when they obtain a system in another W -class state with less entanglement. These advantages make our ECP more feasible for practical applications.

Perfect entanglement concentration of an arbitrary four-photon polarization entangled state via quantum nondemolition detectors

Meiyu Wang, Fengli Yan, Jingzhou Xu

Abstract We show how to concentrate an arbitrary four-photon polarization entangled state into a maximally entangled state based on some quantum nondemolition detectors. The entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) resorts to an ancillary single-photon resource and the conventional projection measurement on photons to assist the concentration, which makes it more economical. Our ECP involves weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities, X homodyne measurement and basic linear-optical elements, which make it feasible in the current experimental technology. Moreover, the ECP considers cyclic utilization to enhance a higher success probability. Thus, our scheme is meaningful in practical applications in quantum communication.

Multipartite entanglement concentration of electron-spin states with CNOT gates

任宝藏, Hua Ming, Tao Li +2 more

We propose a different entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for nonlocal N-electron systems in a partially entangled Bell-type pure state using the CNOT gates and the projection measurements on an additional electron. For each nonlocal N-electron system, Alice first entangles it with the additional electron, and then she projects the additional electron onto an orthogonal basis for dividing the N-electron systems into two groups. In the first group, the N parties obtain a subset of N-electron systems in a maximally entangled state directly. In the second group, they obtain some less-entangled N-electron systems, which are the resource for the entanglement concentration in the next round. By iterating the entanglement concentration process several times, the present ECP has the maximal success probability, which is the theoretical limit of an ECP, equal to the entanglement of the partially entangled state, and higher than the others. This ECP may be useful in quantum computers based on electron-spin systems in the future.
