Experimental restoration of entanglement on an entanglement breaking quantum channel

Abstract

A new method revealing entanglement from a single photon entanglement breaking channel is proposed and experimentally verified. Via detection of noise leaving channel, the entanglement can be restored and further enhanced by single-copy entanglement filtration.

Experimental entanglement restoration on entanglement-breaking channels

Fabio Sciarrino, Eleonora Nagali, F. De Martini +2 more

Quantum entanglement, a fundamental property ensuring security of key distribution and efficiency of quantum computing, is extremely sensitive to decoherence. Different procedures have been developed in order to recover entanglement after propagation over a noisy channel. However, besides a certain amount of noise, entanglement is completely lost. In this case the channel is called entanglement breaking and any multi-copy distillation methods cannot help to restore even a bit of entanglement. We report the experimental realization of a new method which restores entanglement from a single photon entanglement breaking channel. The method based on measurement of environmental light and quantum feed-forward correction can reveal entanglement even if this one completely disappeared. This protocol provides new elements to overcome decoherence effects.

EXPERIMENTAL ENTANGLEMENT RESTORATION ON NOISY CHANNELS BY MEASURING ENVIRONMENT

Eleonora Nagali, Fabio Sciarrino, F. De Martini +2 more

In the last years, different procedures have been developed in order to recover entanglement after propagation over a noisy channel. However, above a certain amount of noise, entanglement is completely lost. In this case the channel is called "entanglement-breaking" and any multi-copy distillation methods cannot help to reveal even a bit of entanglement. We report the experimental realization of a new protocol which restores entanglement from a single photon entanglement-breaking channel by measuring the information leaking out into the environment. Such restoration entanglement procedure provides new elements to overcome decoherence effects, a subject of renowed interest in quantum communication in the last decade.

One-Photon Measurement of Two-Photon Entanglement

Measuring entanglement is an essential step in a wide range of applied and foundational quantum experiments. When a two-particle quantum state is not pure, standard methods to measure the entanglement require detection of both particles. We realize a conceptually new method for verifying and measuring entanglement in a class of two-part (bipartite) mixed states. Contrary to the approaches known to date, in our experiment we verify and measure entanglement in mixed quantum bipartite states by detecting only one subsystem, the other remains undetected. Only one copy of the mixed or pure state is used but that state is in a superposition of having been created in two identical sources. We show that information shared in entangled systems can be accessed through single-particle interference patterns. Our experiment enables entanglement characterization even when one of the subsystems cannot be detected, for example, when suitable detectors are not available.

Amending entanglement-breaking channels via intermediate unitary operations

Álvaro Cuevas, Antonella De Pasquale, Andrea Mari +9 more

We report a bulk optics experiment demonstrating the possibility of restoring the entanglement distribution through noisy quantum channels by inserting a suitable unitary operation (filter) in the middle of the transmission process. We focus on two relevant classes of single-qubit channels consisting in repeated applications of rotated phase-damping or rotated amplitude-damping maps, both modeling the combined Hamiltonian and dissipative dynamics of the polarization state of single photons. Our results show that interposing a unitary filter between two noisy channels can significantly improve entanglement transmission. This proof-of-principle demonstration could be generalized to many other physical scenarios where entanglement-breaking communication lines may be amended by unitary filters.
