General Single-Mode Gaussian Operation with Two-Mode Entangled State

Abstract

Realizing the logic operations with small-scale states is pursued to improve the utilization of quantum resources and to simplify the experimental setup. We propose a scheme to realize a general single-mode Gaussian operation with a two-mode entangled state by utilizing only one nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier and by adjusting four angle parameters. The fidelity of the output mode can be optimized by changing one of the angle parameters. This scheme would be utilized as a basic efficient element in the future large-scale quantum computation.

Nonlocal nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier based on genuine multipartite entanglement

Jing Zhang, Changde Xie, Kunchi Peng

We propose a scheme for realizing nonlocal nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier by means of genuine four-mode entanglement. The nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier is regarded as a unitary transformation from two input fields to two outputs. Two inputs and two outputs are located at the remote stations, respectively. Employing off-line four-mode entanglement, homodyne detection, classical communication, and local displacement, the nonlocal nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier can be achieved. This scheme can be implemented with a setup that is experimentally accessible at present.

An experimental proposal for a Gaussian amendable quantum channel

Daniela Buono, Gaetano Nocerino, A. Porzio +3 more

We propose a quantum optics experiment where a single two-mode Gaussian entangled state is used for realizing the paradigm of an amendable Gaussian channel recently presented in Phys. Rev. A, \textbf{87}, 062307 (2013). Depending on the choice of the experimental parameters the entanglement of the probe state is preserved or not and the relative map belongs or not to the class of entanglement breaking channels. The scheme has been optimized to be as simple as possible: it requires only a single active non-linear operation followed by four passive beam-splitters. The effects of losses, detection inefficiencies and statistical errors are also taken into account, proving the feasibility of the experiment with current realistic resources.

Gates for one-way quantum computation based on Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entanglement

Shuhong Hao, Xiaowei Deng, Xiaolong Su +3 more

Single-mode squeezing and Fourier transformation operations are two essential logical gates in continuous-variable quantum computation, which have been experimentally implemented by means of an optical four-mode cluster state. In this paper, we present a simpler and more efficient protocol based on the use of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen two-mode entangled states to realize the same operations. The theoretical calculations and the experimental results demonstrate that the presented scheme not only decreases the requirement to the resource quantum states at the largest extent but also enhances significantly the squeezing degree and the fidelity of the resultant modes under an identical resource condition. That is because in our system the influence of the excess noises deriving from the imperfect squeezing of the resource states is degraded. The gate operations applying two-mode entanglement can be utilized as a basic element in a future quantum computer involving a large-scale cluster state.

Entanglement distillation from Gaussian input states by coherent photon addition

Pei Zhang, Hong-Rong Li, Hong Gao +1 more

The entanglement between Gaussian entangled states can be increased by non-Gaussian operations. We design a new scheme, named coherent photon addition, which can coherently add one photon generated by a spontaneous parametric down-conversation process to Gaussian quadrature-entangled light pulses created by a non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier. This operation can increase the entanglement of input two-mode Gaussian states as an entanglement distillation, and provides us with a new method of non-Gaussian operation. This scheme can also help us to study the decoherence of adding one- to two-mode Gaussian states from coherent photon addition to normal photon addition.

Scheme for enhancing quadripartite entangled optical modes from an opto-mechanical system

Jing Zhang, Xiaoyu Liu, Rongguo Yang +1 more

Multipartite entanglement is a key resource for quantum information processing and quantum communication. We show that the robust entanglement among four filtered output optical modes can be achieved when there is a nonlinear crystal inside an optomechanical cavity. The optical parametric amplifier (OPA) gives rise to single-mode squeezing of the cavity modes; therefore, the entanglement among four output optical modes can be enhanced remarkably. Furthermore, the degree of quadripartite entanglement is influenced by the nonlinear gain of OPA and bandwidth of the filters. Large entanglement can be obtained by optimizing the filter functions, which is important for utilizing entangled light beams more efficiently in real experiments. This kind of multipartite entanglement will be useful and valuable in the area of quantum communication networks.

Long-distance distribution of qubit-qubit entanglement using Gaussian-correlated photonic beams

J. Agustí, Y. Minoguchi, J. M. Fink +1 more

We investigate the deterministic generation and distribution of entanglement in large quantum networks by driving distant qubits with the output fields of a nondegenerate parametric amplifier. In this setting, the amplifier produces a continuous Gaussian two-mode squeezed state, which acts as a quantum-correlated reservoir for the qubits and relaxes them into a highly entangled steady state. Here we are interested in the maximal amount of entanglement and the optimal entanglement generation rates that can be achieved with this scheme under realistic conditions taking, in particular, the finite amplifier bandwidth, waveguide losses, and propagation delays into account. By combining exact numerical simulations of the full network with approximate analytic results, we predict the optimal working point for the amplifier and the corresponding qubit-qubit entanglement under various conditions. Our findings show that this passive conversion of Gaussian into discrete-variable entanglement offers a robust and experimentally very attractive approach for operating large optical, microwave, or hybrid quantum networks, for which efficient parametric amplifiers are currently developed.
