Generating continuous variable entangled states for quantum teleportation using a superposition of number-conserving operations

Himadri Shekhar Dhar, Arpita Chatterjee, Rupamanjari Ghosh

Abstract We investigate the states generated in continuous variable (CV) optical fields by operating them with a number-conserving operator of the type , formed by the generalized superposition of products of field annihilation ( ) and creation ( ) operators, with . Such an operator is experimentally realizable and can be suitably manipulated to generate nonclassical optical states when applied on single- and two-mode coherent, thermal and squeezed input states. At low intensities, these nonclassical states can interact with a secondary mode via a linear optical device to generate two-mode discrete entangled states, which can serve as a resource in quantum information protocols. The advantage of these operations are tested by applying the generated entangled states as quantum channels in CV quantum teleportation, under the Braunstein and Kimble protocol. We observe that, under these operations, while the average fidelity of CV teleportation is enhanced for the nonclassical channel formed using input squeezed states, it remains at the classical threshold for input coherent and thermal states. This is due to the fact that though these operations can introduce discrete entanglement in all input states, it enhances the Einstein–Podolosky–Rosen correlations only in the nonclassical squeezed state inputs, leading to an advantage in CV teleportation. This shows that nonclassical optical states generated using the above operations on classical coherent and thermal state inputs are not useful for CV teleportation. This investigation could prove useful for the efficient implementation of noisy non-Gaussian channels, formed by linear operations, in future teleportation protocols.

Generation of nonclassical states by superposition of number-conserving operations on squeezed thermal state

Wei Ye, Ying Guo, Huan Zhang +2 more

Abstract The nonclassicality is the prerequisite for quantum states to be applied into quantum information, especially for quantum metrology. Here we theoretically investigate the non-classical properties of the non-Gaussian state generated by repeatedly operating a number-conserving generalized superposition of products (GSP), i.e., ( s 1 aa † + t 1 a † a ) m with s 1 2 + t 1 2 = 1 , on the squeezed thermal state (STS), in terms of second-order correlation function, Mandel’s Q parameter, quadrature squeezing and Wigner function (WF). It is shown that, compared to the cases of the STS, the GSP-STS with the high-order GSP operations ( m > 1) at the small-squeezing levels can be beneficial to the existence of the photon-antibunching effect, the sub-Poissonian distribution and the partial negativity of the WF, apart from the quadrature squeezing. In addition, for the case of m = 1, we also compare with the non-classical properties of several different non-Gaussian resources, involving the photon-subtracted-then-added (PSTA) STS, the GSP-STS and the photon-added-then-subtracted (PATS) STS. It is found that the PSTA-STS with respect to the sub-Poissonian distribution and the partial negativity of the WF has a better performance than others. Significantly, the generated GSP-STS has an obvious advantage of showing the photon-antibunching effects, compared to the PSTA-STS and the PATS-STS, which means that our scheme may have an excellent guidance for the practical implementations in quantum information.

Improvement of the entanglement properties for entangled states using a superposition of number-conserving operations

Huan Zhang, Wei Ye, Ying Xia +3 more

Abstract The non-Gaussian operation, which can be easily implemented by current techniques, is an effective way for the improvement of the continuous-variable entanglement. Here, we theoretically propose a scheme for generating a number-conserving two-mode generalized superposition of products (TM-GSP) state by performing the -order GSP operations i.e. on an input two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV) state. Then, the entanglement properties of the TM-GSP state are analyzed detailedly by means of logarithmic negative, Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) correlation and two-mode squeezing property. It is shown that, in contrast to the TMSV case, for the optimal choices of s 1 and s 2 , the entanglement properties of the TM-GSP state can be improved by using symmetric GSP operations ( ) and single-side GSP operations . Furthermore, the fidelity effect is also considered when the TM-GSP state is used as the entangled resource under the Braunstein and Kimble scheme. In terms of the optimal teleportation fidelity, it is found that the effect of the single GSP operation is equivalent to that of the case . This phenomenon also exists in logarithmic negative, EPR correlation and two-mode squeezing property. These results show that the prepared TM-GSP state may provide a well application in the fields of quantum information processing.
