Abstract

We investigate full symmetrization of two-mode entangled Gaussian states by local Gaussian operations and classical communication. We propose and analyze three deterministic strategies that convert an arbitrary two-mode entangled Gaussian state to a fully symmetric entangled Gaussian state that is not only invariant with respect to the exchange of the modes but also exhibits equally strong correlations of amplitude and phase quadratures of the two modes.

Gaussian local unitary equivalence of n -mode Gaussian states and Gaussian transformations by local operations with classical communication

G. Giedke, Barbara Kraus

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for arbitrary multimode (pure or mixed) Gaussian states to be equivalent under Gaussian local unitary operations. To do so, we introduce a standard form for Gaussian states, which has the properties that (i) every state can be transformed into its standard form via Gaussian local unitaries and (ii) it is unique and (iii) it can be easily computed. Thus, two states are equivalent under Gaussian local unitaries if and only if their standard forms coincide. We explicitly derive the standard form for two- and three-mode Gaussian pure states. We then investigate transformations between these classes by means of Gaussian local operations assisted by classical communication. For three-mode pure states, we identify a global property that cannot be created but only destroyed by local operations. This implies that the highly entangled family of symmetric three-mode Gaussian states is not sufficient to generate all three-mode Gaussian states by local Gaussian operations.

Transformations of symmetric multipartite Gaussian states by Gaussian local operations and classical communication

Ondřej Černotík, Jaromı́r Fiurášek

Multipartite quantum correlations, in spite of years of intensive research, still leave many questions unanswered. While bipartite entanglement is relatively well understood for Gaussian states, the complexity of mere qualitative characterization grows rapidly with increasing number of parties. Here, we present two schemes for transformations of multipartite permutation invariant Gaussian states by Gaussian local operations and classical communication. To this end, we use a scheme for possible experimental realization, making use of the fact that in this picture the whole $N$-partite state can be described by specifying the states of two separable modes. Numerically, we study entanglement transformations of tripartite states. Finally, we look at the effect our protocols have on fidelity of assisted quantum teleportation and find that, while adding correlated noise does not affect the fidelity at all, there is strong evidence that partial nondemolition measurement leads to a drop in teleportation fidelity.

Gaussian Transformations and Distillation of Entangled Gaussian States

Jaromı́r Fiurášek

We prove that it is impossible to distill more entanglement from a single copy of a two-mode bipartite entangled Gaussian state via local Gaussian operations and classical communication. More generally, we show that any hypothetical distillation protocol for Gaussian states involving only Gaussian operations would be a deterministic protocol. Finally, we argue that the protocol considered by Eisert et al. [preceding Letter, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 137903 ()]] is the optimum Gaussian distillation protocol for two copies of entangled Gaussian states.

Complete state reconstruction of a two-mode Gaussian state via local operations and classical communication

Gustavo Rigolin, M. C. de Oliveira

We propose a strictly local protocol that is completely equivalent to global quantum state reconstruction for a bipartite system. We show that the joint density matrix of an arbitrary two-mode Gaussian state, entangled or not, is obtained via local operations and classical communication only. In contrast to previous proposals, simultaneous homodyne measurements on both modes are replaced with local homodyne detections and a set of local projective measurements.

Entanglement of pure two-mode Gaussian states

R. W. Rendell, A. K. Rajagopal

The entanglement of general asymmetric pure Gaussian two-mode states is examined in terms of the coefficients of the quadrature components of the wave function. The entanglement criterion and the entanglement of formation are directly evaluated as a function of these coefficients, without the need for local unitary transformations. These reproduce results for the special case of symmetric pure states which employ a relation between squeezed states and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations. The modification of the quadrature coefficients and the corresponding entanglement due to application of various optical elements is also derived.

Interconversion of pure Gaussian states requiring non-Gaussian operations

Michael G. Jabbour, Raúl García−Patrón, Nicolas J. Cerf

We analyze the conditions under which local operations and classical communication enable entanglement transformations within the set of bipartite pure Gaussian states. A set of necessary and sufficient conditions had been found in [Quant. Inf. Comp. 3, 211 (2003)] for the interconversion between such states that is restricted to Gaussian local operations and classical communication. Here, we exploit majorization theory in order to derive more general (sufficient) conditions for the interconversion between bipartite pure Gaussian states that goes beyond Gaussian local operations. While our technique is applicable to an arbitrary number of modes for each party, it allows us to exhibit surprisingly simple examples of 2 x 2 Gaussian states that necessarily require non-Gaussian local operations to be transformed into each other.
