Abstract

Abstract We let a set of beam splitters of vacuum mode with a chosen transmittance parameter η in interaction with a separable coherent states. This model induces the production of an attenuated quantum channels based on entangled optical states. Indeed, the decoherence effect is exploited positively here to generate such kind of quantum channels. Next, the amplitude damping and the entanglement amount of these produced channels are enhanced thereafter by a probabilistic quasi amplification process using again a 50:50 beam splitter .

An entangled squeezed state generated by an optical parametric amplifier and a beam splitter

Gang Ren, Chunzao Zhang

Abstract We propose a method to generate an entangled squeezed state using an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) and a beam splitter (BS). This device can manipulate the output quantum light field by modulating two parameters: the intensity of the OPA and the transmittance of the optical BS. For the output quantum state associated with a symmetric BS, there is no quadrature squeezing. Moreover, neither photon correlation nor entanglement are observed. However, in terms of sum squeezing, the quantum state corresponding to the symmetric BS is the strongest. Therefore, an asymmetric BS and a highly squeezing OPA are the best choices for generating the quantum entangled squeezed states.

One-Mode Wigner Quasi-probability Distribution Function for Entangled Coherent States Generated by Beam Splitter and Cavity QED

G. Najarbashi, Sevda Mirzaei

In this paper, we use the displacement operator together with parity operation to construct the superposition of two coherent states. By transmitting this superposition from 50-50 beam splitter the two-mode qubit like ECS is generated. Moreover, we introduce a controllable method for producing qutrit like ECS using atom-field interaction in cavity QED and beam splitter. We will show that the distances of peaks of Wigner functions for reduced density matrices of two-mode ECS's are entanglement sensitive and can be a witness for entanglement. To confirm the results we use concurrence measure to compare bipartite entanglement of ECS's with the behavior of peaks of Wigner functions. Moreover, we investigate decoherence effects on Wigner function, arising from transmitting ECS's through noisy channels.

Majorization relations and entanglement generation in a beam splitter

Christos N. Gagatsos, Ognyan Oreshkov, Nicolas J. Cerf

We prove that a beam splitter, one of the most common optical components, fulfills several classes of majorization relations, which govern the amount of quantum entanglement that it can generate. First, we show that the state resulting from $k$ photons impinging on a beam splitter majorizes the corresponding state with any larger photon number ${k}^{\ensuremath{'}}>k$, implying that the entanglement monotonically grows with $k$. Then we examine parametric infinitesimal majorization relations as a function of the beam-splitter transmittance and find that there exists a parameter region where majorization is again fulfilled, implying a monotonic increase of entanglement by moving towards a balanced beam splitter. We also identify regions with a majorization default, where the output states become incomparable. In this latter situation, we find examples where catalysis may nevertheless be used in order to recover majorization. The catalyst states can be as simple as a path-entangled single-photon state or a two-mode squeezed vacuum state.

Gaussian entanglement generation from coherence using beam-splitters

Zhongxiao Wang, Shuhao Wang, Teng Ma +2 more

The generation and quantification of quantum entanglement is crucial for quantum information processing. Here we study the transition of Gaussian correlation under the effect of linear optical beam-splitters. We find the single-mode Gaussian coherence acts as the resource in generating Gaussian entanglement for two squeezed states as the input states. With the help of consecutive beam-splitters, single-mode coherence and quantum entanglement can be converted to each other. Our results reveal that by using finite number of beam-splitters, it is possible to extract all the entanglement from the single-mode coherence even if the entanglement is wiped out before each beam-splitter.

Beam splitter as quantum coherence-maker

Laura Ares, Alfredo Luis

Abstract The aim of this work is to answer the question of how much quantum coherence a beam splitter is able to produce. To this end, we consider as the variables under study both the amount of coherence of the input states as well as the beam splitter characteristics. We conclude that there is an optimal combination of these factors making the gain of coherence maximum. In addition, the two-mode squeezed vacuum arises as the studied state most capable of gaining coherence when passing through a beam splitter. These results are qualitatively equivalent for the l1-norm of coherence and the relative entropy of coherence.

Amplification of entangled beam based on four-wave mixing process

Xiaoyin Xu, Shengshuai Liu, Jietai Jing

Two-mode entangled state is an important quantum resource for quantum information. In this paper, the amplification of a single mode of two-mode entangled state (single-mode amplification scheme) and two modes of two-mode entangled state (two-mode amplification scheme) are theoretically proposed. Here, the optical beam splitter model is used to simulate the vacuum noise introduced by the loss in the optical transmission process. By utilizing the positivity under partial transpose criterion, we analyze the effect of the gain of the four-wave mixing process on the entanglement degree of the initial two-mode entangled state in two different amplification schemes. In these two schemes, we set the gain of the initial two-mode entangled state generation process to be 1.5, 2.5 and 50.0 respectively, and then change the gain of the amplification process in a certain range. We also set the transmission efficiency of the amplified beams for each of the two schemes to be a definite value. The results show that the entanglement of the initial two-mode entangled state decreases with the gain increasing under the condition of specific transmission loss in two schemes. When the gain does not exceed a certain value, the entanglement of the initial two-mode entangled state can be maintained. Then, with the increase of the gain, the entanglement of the initial two-mode entangled state will disappear. Moreover, the entanglement of the initial two-mode entangled state of the two-mode amplification scheme disappears faster than that of the single-mode amplification scheme. Our theoretical results pave the way for the experimental realization of the amplification of two-mode entangled state based on four-wave mixing process.
