Abstract

We present a method of generation of the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state involving type II and type I parametric downconversion, and triggering photodetectors. The state generated by the proposed experimental set-up can be reconstructed through multi-mode quantum homodyne tomography. The feasibility of the measurement is studied on the basis of Monte-Carlo simulations.

Proposal for generating and detecting multi-qubit GHZ states in circuit QED

Lev S. Bishop, L Tornberg, D Price +8 more

We propose methods for the preparation and entanglement detection of multi-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states in circuit quantum electrodynamics. Using quantum trajectory simulations appropriate for the situation of a weak continuous measurement, we show that the joint dispersive readout of several qubits can be utilized for the probabilistic production of high-fidelity GHZ states. When employing a nonlinear filter on the recorded homodyne signal, the selected states are found to exhibit values of the Bell–Mermin operator exceeding 2 under realistic conditions. We discuss the potential of the dispersive readout to demonstrate a violation of the Mermin bound, and present a measurement scheme avoiding the necessity for full detector tomography.

Full Characterization of a Three-Photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger State Using Quantum State Tomography

Kevin J. Resch, Philip John Walther, Anton Zeilinger

We have performed the first experimental tomographic reconstruction of a three-photon polarization state. Quantum state tomography is a powerful tool for fully describing the density matrix of a quantum system. We measured 64 three-photon polarization correlations and used a "maximum-likelihood" reconstruction method to reconstruct the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state. The entanglement class has been characterized using an entanglement witness operator and the maximum predicted values for the Mermin inequality were extracted.

Universal homodyne tomography with a single local oscillator

Giacomo Mauro D’Ariano, Massimiliano Federico Sacchi, Prem Kumar

We propose a general method for measuring an arbitrary observable of a multimode electromagnetic field using homodyne detection with a single local oscillator. In this method the local oscillator scans over all possible linear combinations of the modes. The case of two modes is analyzed in detail and the feasibility of the measurement is studied on the basis of Monte Carlo simulations. We also provide an application of this method in tomographic testing of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state.

Quantum Nonlocality and Generation of Multi-mode Schrodinger Cat States

Zheng Shi-Biao

We describe the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox in the multi-mode Schrödinger cat states. We also show that the multi-mode cat states violate the Bell's inequality by an amount that grows exponentially with number of modes. The test of quantum nonlocality is based on parity measurement and displacement operation, which are experimentally feasible. We also describe a scheme for the generation of the cat states in cavity QED.
