Improving the rate-loss scaling in polarization entanglement distribution using single-click entanglement swapping

Hikaru Shimizu, Joe Yoshimoto, Daiki Ichii +3 more

Polarization entanglement is widely used in optical quantum information processing as well as quantum communication due to its compatibility with standard optical components. However, distributing polarization entanglement is severely limited by photon loss in the channels. In conventional methods, the distribution rate of polarization entanglement scales linearly with the end-to-end channel transmittance, which decreases exponentially with distance. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a protocol for distributing polarization entanglement with improved rate-loss scaling. The protocol combines single-click entanglement swapping with polarization–photon-number hybrid entanglement, in which the photon-number-basis modes are sent to a central swapping node while the polarization qubits are retained by the end users. In our experiment, we observed a square-root improvement in the rate-loss scaling compared with conventional methods and achieved a fidelity of 0.843 for distributed polarization-entangled photon pairs. These results provide a proof-of-principle demonstration that the favorable rate-loss scaling of single-click entanglement swapping can be transferred to polarization entanglement distribution.

Loss-resilient photonic entanglement swapping using optical hybrid states

Youngrong Lim, Jaewoo Joo, Timothy P. Spiller +1 more

We propose a scheme of loss-resilient entanglement swapping between two distant parties via an imperfect optical channel. In this scheme, two copies of hybrid entangled states are prepared and the continuous-variable parts propagate through lossy media. In order to perform successful entanglement swapping, several different measurement schemes are considered for the continuous-variable parts such as single-photon detection for ideal cases and a homodyne detection for practical cases. We find that the entanglement swapping using hybrid states with small amplitudes offers larger entanglement than the discrete-variable entanglement swapping in the presence of large losses. Remarkably, this hybrid scheme still offers excellent robustness of entanglement to the detection inefficiency. Thus, the proposed scheme could be used for the practical quantum key distribution in hybrid optical states under photon losses.

Entanglement swapping via lossy channels using photon-number-encoded states

Wan Zo, Bohdan Bilash, Donghwa Lee +5 more

Entanglement between distant parties is a key resource in quantum networks. However, photon losses in quantum channels significantly reduce the success probability of entanglement sharing, which scales quadratically with the channel transmittivity. Quantum repeaters using entanglement swapping can mitigate this effect, but usually require high-performance photonic quantum memories to synchronize photonic qubits. In this work, we theoretically and experimentally investigate an entanglement swapping protocol using photon-number-encoded states that can effectively alleviate quantum channel losses without requiring photonic quantum memories. We demonstrate that the protocol exhibits a success probability scaling linearly with the channel transmittivity. Furthermore, we show that while unbalanced channel losses can degrade the shared entanglement, this effect can be compensated by optimally adjusting the initial entangled states. Our results highlight the potential of photon-number encoding for realizing robust entanglement distribution in lossy quantum networks.

High-rate qutrit entanglement swapping with photon-number basis

Kazufumi Tanji, Hikaru Shimizu, Masahiro Takeoka

Entanglement generation between distant nodes is a fundamental process in distributed quantum information processing. Qudits, high-dimensional quantum states, are promising candidates for enhancing entanglement distribution capabilities. However, the success probability of qudit entanglement distribution using Bell measurements is typically lower than that of conventional qubit-based protocols. In this paper, we propose an entanglement swapping protocol specifically designed for qutrits (three-dimensional quantum states). Our protocol employs photon-number encoding combined with an additional mode basis, such as polarization, effectively increasing the success probability. We show that the proposed qutrit protocol can achieve higher entanglement generation rates compared to conventional two-photon detection-based qubit protocols, especially under conditions of limited photon generation probability. Furthermore, we evaluate our protocol under realistic experimental imperfections, including photon loss and threshold detection, and show that it achieves high fidelity with probabilistic photon sources.

QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT SWAPPING IN MULTI-NODE QUANTUM NETWORKS: EFFICIENCY AND SCALABILITY ANALYSIS

Muzafarova Sevinch Muhammadovna

This paper investigates the scalability and transmission efficiency of entanglement swapping protocols within multi-node quantum networks. As the realization of a global quantum internet relies heavily on long-distance entanglement distribution, quantum repeaters utilizing entanglement swapping serve as a critical backbone. However, scalability remains a bottleneck due to photon loss, operational infidelities, and quantum memory coherence times. In this study, we analytically model a multi-node quantum chain and evaluate how the end-to-end entanglement fidelity degrades as the number of intermediate nodes scales up. Our analysis highlights the critical thresholds for Bell state measurement (BSM) success rates required to maintain quantum state integrity across large distances. The findings provide optimization constraints for designing scalable and fault-tolerant routing protocols in future quantum information networks.

Connecting heterogeneous quantum networks by hybrid entanglement swapping

Giovanni Guccione, Tom Darras, Hanna Le Jeannic +4 more

Recent advances in quantum technologies are rapidly stimulating the building of quantum networks. With the parallel development of multiple physical platforms and different types of encodings, a challenge for present and future networks is to uphold a heterogeneous structure for full functionality and therefore support modular systems that are not necessarily compatible with one another. Central to this endeavor is the capability to distribute and interconnect optical entangled states relying on different discrete and continuous quantum variables. Here, we report an entanglement swapping protocol connecting such entangled states. We generate single-photon entanglement and hybrid entanglement between particle- and wave-like optical qubits and then demonstrate the heralded creation of hybrid entanglement at a distance by using a specific Bell-state measurement. This ability opens up the prospect of connecting heterogeneous nodes of a network, with the promise of increased integration and novel functionalities.
