Abstract

We present an efficient faithful multipartite polarization entanglement distribution protocol over an arbitrary noisy channel. The spatial degree of freedom is used to carry the entanglement during the transmission. We describe the principle by distributing n-qubit Greenberge—Horne—Zeilinger state and n-qubit W state. Our scheme can be used to distribute arbitrary n-qubit entangled states to n distant locations. The remote parties can obtain maximally entangled states deterministically on the polarization of photons. Only passive linear optics are employed in our setup, which makes our scheme more feasible and efficient for practical application in long distance quantum communication.

Deterministic arbitrary multi-photon entanglement sharing via noisy channels

Zhi Zeng, Chun Wang, Xi Han Li +1 more

We present an efficient strategy for sharing multipartite polarization entanglement between distant locations via the noisy channel assisted by the time-bin degree of freedom. We demonstrate an entanglement purification protocol for the three-qubit Greenberge–Horne–Zeilinger state and an entanglement distribution protocol for the three-qubit W state. We also generalize the protocol to distribute arbitrary N-photon polarization states to N distant locations. Our schemes do not consume a large number of less-entangled systems and the remote parties can share the desired state in a deterministic way with 100% fidelity in principle. These advantages make our method useful and practical in long-distance quantum communication.

Efficient Polarization Entanglement Distribution for W State Assisted by Frequency Degree of Freedom

Yan Li, Xiao Chen, Zhi Zeng +1 more

We present an efficient faithful polarization entanglement distribution protocol for W state over an arbitrary noise channel, which use the frequency degree of freedom to carry the entanglement during the transmission. We describe the transmission of three-photon W state as an example, and then generalize this scheme to n-qubit W state situation. The remote parties can obtain maximally entangled W states on the polarization of photons, and the success probability is 100% in principle. As there was few entanglement purification for W state, our scheme is an efficient and practical method to share W state entanglement between distant parties, which will be useful in quantum communication. We also show that our scheme can be used to distribute arbitrary multi-particle entangled state.

Remotely Establishing Polarization Entanglement Over Noisy Polarization Channels

Sebastian Ecker, Philipp Sohr, Lukas Bulla +2 more

The faithful distribution of entanglement over noisy channels is a vital prerequisite for many quantum technological applications. Quantum information can be encoded in different degrees of freedom (DOF) of photons, where each encoding comes with its own advantages and disadvantages with respect to noise resilience and practicality in manipulation. In this work, we experimentally implement a deterministic entanglement purification protocol that allows us to faithfully distribute entanglement in one DOF over a noisy channel and then remotely transfer it to another DOF for manipulation. In particular, we distribute robust energy-time entanglement and transfer it to polarization entanglement at the communicating parties. The remotely obtained polarization state is independent of the polarization noise during distribution and reaches fidelities to a Bell state of up to $97.6\mathrm{%}$. Our scheme enables robust and efficient polarization entanglement distribution in the presence of arbitrary polarization noise, which is relevant for future large-scale quantum networks.

Practical multipartite entanglement distribution in noisy channels

Mei-Yu Wang, Hao Guo, Fengli Yan +1 more

Entanglement among multiple parties is vital for practical quantum information applications. Astwo kinds of typical multipartite entangled state, the W and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ)states have attracted a lot of attention. In this paper, we propose two practical linear optical schemes for multipartite entanglement distribution in noisy channels. Using the time-bin or spatial-mode degree of freedom (DoF) encoding, the influence of the noise will be eliminated and perfect W or GHZ state can be achieved among different nodes in a deterministic way. Moreover, we construct quantum circuits, which can be implemented with current technology. These results contribute to long-distance quantum communication both in theoretical and experimental points of view.

Deterministic distribution of multipartite entanglement in a quantum network by continuous-variable polarization states

Liang Wu, Ting Chai, Yanhong Liu +4 more

Quantum network plays a vitally important role in the practical application of quantum information, which requires the deterministic entanglement distribution among multiple remote users. Here, we propose a feasible scheme to deterministically distribute quadripartite entanglement by continuous-variable (CV) polarization states. The quantum server prepares the quadripartite CV polarization entanglement and distributes them to four remote users via optical fiber. In this way, the measurement of CV polarization entanglement is local oscillation free, which makes the long distance entanglement distribution in commercial optical fiber communication networks possible. Furthermore, both the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-like (GHZ-like) and cluster-like polarization entangled states can be distributed among four users by controlling the beam splitter network in quantum server, which are confirmed by the extended criteria for polarization entanglement of multipartite optical modes. The protocol provides the direct reference for experimental implementation and can be directly extended to quantum network with more users, which is essential for a metropolitan quantum network.
