Abstract

We propose a scheme for generating an entangled state for three atoms trapped in separate optical cavities that are coupled to each other through two optical fibers based on coherent driving and dissipation, which are induced by the classical fields and the decay of non-local bosonic modes, respectively. In our scheme, the interaction time need not be controlled strictly in the overall dynamics process, and the cavity field decay can be changed into a vital resource. The numerical simulation shows that the fidelity of the target state is insensitive to atomic spontaneous emission, and our scheme is good enough to generate the W state of distant atoms with a high fidelity and purity. In addition, the present scheme can also be generalized to prepare the N -partite W state of distant atoms.

Engineering steady-state entanglement via dissipation in coupled cavities

Zhao Jin, Shi‐Lei Su, Ai‐Dong Zhu +2 more

Abstract We present a scheme for the dissipative preparation of an entangled steady state between two atomic qubits separately trapped in the coupled cavities. The combination of coherent driving fields and dissipative processes will drive the system into a steady state. By choosing different frequency of classical laser field, the target steady state can be generated in different ways. In our scheme, the atomic spontaneous emission and the cavity decay can be used as a prerequisite. The numerical simulation shows that the maximally entangled state with high fidelity and purity can be produced regardless of the initial state. The fidelity is insensitive to the fluctuation of the system parameters.

Generation of steady entanglement via unilateral qubit driving in bad cavities

Zhao Jin, Shi‐Lei Su, Ai‐Dong Zhu +3 more

We propose a scheme for generating an entangled state for two atoms trapped in two separate cavities coupled to each other. The scheme is based on the competition between the unitary dynamics induced by the classical fields and the collective decays induced by the dissipation of two non-local bosonic modes. In this scheme, only one qubit is driven by external classical fields, whereas the other need not be manipulated via classical driving. This is meaningful for experimental implementation between separate nodes of a quantum network. The steady entanglement can be obtained regardless of the initial state, and the robustness of the scheme against parameter fluctuations is numerically demonstrated. We also give an analytical derivation of the stationary fidelity to enable a discussion of the validity of this regime. Furthermore, based on the dissipative entanglement preparation scheme, we construct a quantum state transfer setup with multiple nodes as a practical application.

Driving many distant atoms into high-fidelity steady state entanglement via Lyapunov control

Chuang Li, Jie Song, Yan Xia +1 more

Based on Lyapunov control theory in closed and open systems, we propose a scheme to generate W state of many distant atoms in the cavity-fiber-cavity system. In the closed system, the W state is generated successfully even when the coupling strength between the cavity and fiber is extremely weak. In the presence of atomic spontaneous emission or cavity and fiber decay, the photon-measurement and quantum feedback approaches are proposed to improve the fidelity, which enable efficient generation of high-fidelity W state in the case of large dissipation. Furthermore, the time-optimal Lyapunov control is investigated to shorten the evolution time and improve the fidelity in open systems.

Dissipative preparation of distributed steady entanglement: an approach of unilateral qubit driving

Zhao Jin, Shi‐Lei Su, Ai‐Dong Zhu +2 more

We propose a nonlocal scheme for preparing a distributed steady-state entanglement of two atoms trapped in separate optical cavities coupled through an optical fiber based on the combined effect of the unitary dynamics and dissipative process. In this scheme, only the qubit of one node is driven by an external classical field, while the other one does not need to be manipulated by an external field. This is meaningful for long distance quantum information processing tasks, and the experimental implementation is greatly simplified due to the unilateral manipulation on one node and the process of entanglement distribution can be avoided. This guarantees the absolute security of long distance quantum information processing tasks and makes the scheme more robust than that based on the unitary dynamics. We introduce the purity to characterize the mixture degree of the target steady-state. The steady entanglement can be obtained independent of the initial state. Furthermore, based on the dissipative entanglement preparation scheme, we construct a quantum teleportation setup with multiple nodes as a practical application, and the numerical simulation demonstrates the scheme can be realized effectively under the current experimental conditions..

Preparation of three-dimensional entanglement for distant atoms in coupled cavities via atomic spontaneous emission and cavity decay

Shi-Lei Su, Xiao-Qiang Shao, Hong-Fu Wang +1 more

We propose a dissipative scheme to prepare a three-dimensional entangled state for two atoms trapped in separate coupled cavities. Our work shows that both atomic spontaneous emission and cavity decay, which are two typical obstacles in unitary-dynamics-based schemes, are no longer detrimental, but necessary for three-dimensional entangled state preparation without specifying initial state and controlling the evolution time precisely. Final numerical simulation with one group of experimental parameters indicates that the performance of our scheme could be better than the unitary-dynamics-based scheme.

Noise-induced distributed entanglement in atom-cavity-fiber system

Dongxiao Li, Xiao-Qiang Shao, Jin-Hui Wu +1 more

The distributed quantum computation plays an important role in large-scale quantum information processing. In the atom-cavity-fiber system, we put forward two efficient proposals to prepare the steady entanglement of two distant atoms with dissipation. The atomic spontaneous emission and the loss of fiber are exploited actively as powerful resources, while the effect of cavity decay is inhibited by quantum Zeno dynamics and quantum-jump-based feedback control. These proposals do not require precisely tailored Rabi frequencies or coupling strength between cavity and fiber. Furthermore, we discuss the feasibility of extending the present schemes into the systems consisting of two atoms at the opposite ends of the $n$ cavities connected by $(n-1)$ fibers, and the corresponding numerical simulation reveals that a high fidelity remains achievable with current experimental parameters.
