Entanglement recovery by weak measurement reversal in tripartite systems

Abstract

Entanglement protection from noisy environments is an essential task in practical quantum information and communication. In this paper, we investigate the entanglement recovery of an amplitude-damped tripartite GHZ state by a weak-measurement reversal procedure. In particular, we emphasize the key importance of the inequivalency of probability amplitudes of the tripartite system under the recovery technique. We explore the maximal and non-maximal tripartite entangled state scenarios under amplitude damping noise in the absence and presence of weak measurement reversal procedures. Importantly, the non-maximal entangled state turns out to be a good choice for the entanglement recovery via weak-measurement reversal procedure.

Reversing entanglement change by a weak measurement

Qingqing Sun, M. Al-Amri, L. Davidovich +1 more

Entanglement of a system changes due to interactions with the environment. A typical type of interaction is amplitude damping. If we add a detector to monitor the environment and only select the no-damping outcome, this amplitude damping is modified into a weak measurement. Here we show that the entanglement change of a two-qubit state due to amplitude damping or weak measurement can be probabilistically reversed. For the amplitude-damping case, the entanglement partially recovers under most conditions. For the weak-measurement case, the recovery of the initial entangled state is exact. The reversal procedure involves another weak measurement, preceded and followed by bit flips applied to both qubits. We propose a linear optics scheme for the experimental demonstration of these procedures.

Protecting Distribution Entanglement by Weak Measurement and Reversal under Various Decoherence Sources

Wang Qiong, Chunmei Yao

Protection of entanglement from disturbance of the environment is an essential task in quantum information processing. We examine the validity and limitation of the weak measurement and reversal (WMR) operation in the protection of distributed entanglement from various decoherence sources. Since the entanglement variation can be investigated analytically for an arbitrarily entangled bipartite pure state under three kinds of typical noisy quantum channels, we show explicitly that the WMR operation indeed helps for protecting distributed entanglement from amplitude damping and phase damping, but not for depolarizing. Experimental feasibility for testing our results is discussed using current laboratory techniques.

Optimized decoherence suppression of tripartite entanglement in finite temperature environments using weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal

He-Jin Wu, Zhao Jin, Ai‐Dong Zhu

In practical application, since quantum entanglement is inevitably destroyed by thermal noise resulted from environment, protecting entanglement from decoherence in thermal bath environment becomes a critically important issue in the field of quantum information. In this work, we propose a scheme to protect the tripartite Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) entanglement state subjected to the generalized amplitude damping (GAD) channel based on the quantum technique of weak measurement (WM) and quantum measurement reversal (QMR). By optimizing the strengths of WM and QMR, the decoherence caused by the channel can be effectively suppressed. The results show that after performing the optimal pre- and post-channel weak measurement, the negativity of the GHZ state can be effectively improved with a certain probability, and the phenomenon of sudden death can be delayed to a certain degree. This scheme can be applied to the decoherence suppression of GAD channel at finite temperature.

Protecting high-dimensional entanglement from decoherence via quantum weak measurement and reversal

Kun-Hong Feng, Yu‐Chi Chen, Ping Zhou

High-dimensional quantum communication plays an important role in long-distance quantum communication. It is shown that two-qubit quantum entanglement can be protected from amplitude damping decoherence. We study the effect of amplitude damping decoherence on two-qubit high-dimensional quantum entanglement. The negativity for high-dimensional quantum entanglement with or without quantum weak measurement and the reversal in amplitude damping decoherence are presented. We found that nonmaximally entangled state may have better performance than maximally entangled state in amplitude damping decoherence. Moreover, we show that arbitrary high-dimensional quantum entanglement can be protected from amplitude damping decoherence by weak measurement and the reversal. The results of our protocol are in agreement with previous analysis for the case of qubits and qutrits.

Weak measurement for improving the efficiency of remote state preparation in noisy

Ming‐Ming Wang, Zhiguo Qu

Quantum communication provides a new way for transmitting highly sensitive information. But the existence of quantum noise inevitably affects the security and reliability of a quantum communication system. The technique of weak measurement and its reversal measurement (WMRM) has been proposed to suppress the effect of quantum noise, especially, the amplitude-damping noise. Taking a GHZ based remote state preparation (RSP) scheme as an example, we discuss the effect of WMRM for suppressing four types of quantum noise that usually encountered in real-world, i.e., not only the amplitude-damping noise, but also the bit-flip, phase-flip (phase-damping) and depolarizing noise. And we give a quantitative study on how much a quantum output state can be improved by WMRM in noisy environment. It is shown that the technique of WMRM has certain effect for improving the fidelity of the output state in the amplitude-damping noise, and only has little effect for suppressing the depolarizing noise, while has no effect for suppressing the bit-flip and phase-flip (phase-damping) noise. Our result is helpful for improving the efficiency of entanglement-based quantum communication systems in real implementation.

Environment-assisted qubit–qutrit entanglement restoration via weak measurement reversal

Yang Leng

Abstract Based on the quantum technique of environment-assisted measurement and reversal (EMR), we propose a scheme to restore the entanglement from amplitude damping decoherence. In particular, we examine two typical families of initially entangled qubit–qutrit states and derive the exact analytical expressions of the optimal final restoration, showing explicitly that the EMR does indeed can recovery qubit–qutrit entanglement. This sheds new light on the protection of high-dimensional quantum entanglement in complex quantum environment.
