Unconditional Bell-type state generation for spatially separate trapped ions

Abstract

We propose a scheme for generation of maximally entangled states involving internal electronic degrees of freedom of two distant trapped ions, each of them located in a cavity. This is achieved by using a single flying atom to distribute entanglement. For certain specific interaction times, the proposed scheme leads to the non-probabilistic generation of a perfect Bell-type state. At the end of the protocol, the flying atom completely disentangles from the rest of the system, leaving both ions in a Bell-type state. Moreover, the scheme is insensitive to the cavity field state and cavity losses. We also address the situation in which dephasing and dissipation must be taken into account for the flying atom on its way from one cavity to the other, and discuss the applicability of the resulting noisy channel for performing quantum teleportation.

Robust Creation of Entanglement between Ions in Spatially Separate Cavities

Dan E. Browne, Martin Bodo Plenio, Susana F. Huelga

We present a protocol that allows the generation of a maximally entangled state between individual atoms held in spatially separate cavities. Assuming perfect detectors and neglecting spontaneous emission from the atoms, the resulting idealized scheme is deterministic. Under more realistic conditions, when the atom-cavity interaction departs from the strong coupling regime, and considering imperfect detectors, we show that the scheme is robust against experimental inefficiencies and yields probabilistic entanglement of very high fidelity.

Probabilistic teleportation of two-unknown entangled atomic states without Bell-State measurement

Xiaoyan Zhou, Fang Jian-Xing, Ni Hui-Ying

In this paper, we propose a protocol for teleportation of two unknown atomic states using non-maximally entangled states. We consider teleportation for atomic entangled states in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). Through analysis, we conclude that it could be succeed without joint BSM (Bell-State measurement). One BSM can be exactly converted into two separate atomic measurements on the two relevant atoms only by one step using the interaction between the atoms and atoms in the cavity. The most remarkable advantage of our scheme is that the teleportation and distillation procedure can be carried out concurrently. Suppose that the cavity mode is prepared in vacuum state. We can utilize the Hamiltonian for the system, discussing how to make teleportation successful. And we discuss the probability of reconstructing the initial state. We consider two identical two-level atoms simultaneously interacting with a single-mode cavity field. There is no energy exchange between the atomic system and the cavity, so we use the detuned interaction between atoms and atoms in cavity in the scheme which is insensitive to both the cavity decay and the thermal field. For the resonant cavity, in order to realize the teleportation successfully, the relationship between the teleportation time and the excited atom lifetime should take into consideration. The time required to complete the teleportation should much shorter than that of atom radiation. Hence, atom with a sufficiently long excited lifetime should be chosen. The discussion of the scheme indicates that it can be realized by current technologies.

Entanglement between motional states of a single trapped ion and light

F. L. Semião, A. Vidiella-Barranco, José Antonio Roversi

We propose a generation method of Bell-type states involving light and the vibrational motion of a single trapped ion. The trap itself is supposed to be placed inside a high-$Q$ cavity sustaining a single mode, quantized electromagnetic field. Entangled light-motional states may be readily generated if a conditional measurement of the ion's internal electronic state is made after an appropriate interaction time and a suitable preparation of the initial state. We show that all four Bell states may be generated using different motional sidebands (either blue or red), as well as adequate ionic relative phases.

The benefit of doing things slowly: employing dissipation for the robust creation of entanglement between ions in spatially separate cavities

Martin Bodo Plenio, Dan E. Browne, Susana F. Huelga

We present protocol that allows the generation of a maximally entangled state between individual atoms held in spatially separate cavities. Under ideal conditions, the scheme is deterministic. In a realistic setting, when the the atom-cavity interaction may be weak, and the detectors are imperfect, we show that the scheme is robust against experimental inefficiencies and yields probabilistic entanglement of very high fidelity.

Deterministic generation of a pure continuous-variable entangled state for two ions trapped in a cavity

Gao‐xiang Li, Hua-Tang Tan, Shaoping Wu +1 more

Two different schemes are proposed for deterministically generating a pure motion-entangled state for two well-separated ions trapped in a cavity. The first one is that through adjusting the amplitudes and the frequencies of transverse lasers, the two ions trapped in a bimodal cavity can unconditionally evolve into a two-mode squeezed vacuum state with the aid of the cavity dissipation. The second one is based on the interactions of two appropriate series of the driving laser pulses with the two ions trapped in a single-mode cavity, it allows us to produce a two-mode squeezed vacuum state for the trapped ions' center-of-mass motion.

Remote Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill Entanglement Generation between Trapped Ions

Haruki Aoki, Kazufumi Tanji, Shohei Kiryu +2 more

Distributing entanglement directly between error-corrected logical qubits is an important capability for scalable quantum networks. We propose a heralded protocol for generating remote entanglement between Gottesman--Kitaev--Preskill qubits encoded in the motional modes of spatially separated trapped ions, using the internal electronic states to interface the motional qubits with emitted photons. We derive the protocol for single-rail and polarization photonic encodings and evaluate the effects of finite GKP squeezing, photon loss, photon recoil, motional heating, and motional dephasing on the decoded logical state. Moreover, we numerically analysed the fidelity of distributed logical Bell-pair fidelity. We find that one can achieve more than 95% of fidelity in the realistic situation. The protocol combines motional-control and photonic-networking operations that have already been demonstrated in trapped-ion experiments.
