Abstract

We present a theoretical framework for Procrustean entanglement concentration tailored for polarization-entangled states infiltrated by polarized classical crosstalk, and experimentally validate its efficacy in a deployed quantum local area network.

Procrustean entanglement concentration in quantum-classical networking

Hsuan‐Hao Lu, Muneer Alshowkan, Jude Alnas +2 more

The success of a future quantum internet will rest in part on the ability of quantum and classical signals to coexist in the same optical fiber infrastructure, a challenging endeavor given the orders of magnitude differences in flux of single-photon-level quantum fields and bright classical traffic. We theoretically describe and experimentally implement Procrustean entanglement concentration for polarization-entangled states contaminated with classical light, showing significant mitigation of crosstalk noise in dense wavelength-division multiplexing. Our approach leverages a pair of polarization-dependent loss emulators to attenuate highly polarized crosstalk that results from imperfect isolation of conventional signals copropagating on shared fiber links. We demonstrate our technique both on the tabletop and over a deployed quantum local area network, finding a substantial improvement of two-qubit entangled state fidelity from approximately 75% to over 92%. This local filtering technique could be used as a preliminary step to reduce asymmetric errors, potentially improving the overall efficiency when combined with more complex error-mitigation techniques in future quantum repeater networks.

Physics-Informed Discrete-Event Simulation of Polarization-Encoded Quantum Networks

Abderrahim Amlou, Amar Abane, Cory M. Nunn +4 more

We extend the SeQUeNCe discrete-event simulator with physics-based models for polarization-encoded photonic quantum networks. Our framework integrates Jones-calculus optical components, including an SPDC Bell-state source, wave plates, and polarizing beam splitters, together with a multi-section fiber model capturing polarization mode dispersion, chromatic dispersion, and Raman noise from coexisting classical traffic. We validate the simulator by reproducing experimentally reported spectra, polarization correlations, quantum state tomography, and dispersion- and Raman-induced noise. The resulting platform enables hardware-parameterized prediction of entanglement distribution performance under realistic deployment conditions.

Procrustean entanglement concentration of continuous-variable states of light

David Menzies, Natalia Korolkova

We propose a Procrustean entanglement concentration scheme for continuous-variable states inspired by the scheme proposed in J. Fiur\`a\ifmmode \check{s}\else \v{s}\fi{}ek et al. [Phys. Rev. A 67, 022304 (2003)]. We show that the eight-port homodyne measurement of J. Fiur\`a\ifmmode \check{s}\else \v{s}\fi{}ek et al. [Phys. Rev. A 67, 022304 (2003)] can be replaced by a balanced homodyne measurement with the advantage of providing a success criterion that allows Alice and Bob to determine if entanglement concentration was achieved. In addition, it facilitates a straightforward experimental implementation.
