Generalized Remote Preparation of Arbitrary -qubit Entangled States via Genuine Entanglements
Herein, we present a feasible, general protocol for quantum communication
within a network via generalized remote preparation of an arbitrary -qubit
entangled state designed with genuine tripartite
Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger-type entangled resources. During the
implementations, we construct novel collective unitary operations; these
operations are tasked with performing the necessary phase transfers during
remote state preparations. We have distilled our implementation methods into a
five-step procedure, which can be used to faithfully recover the desired state
during transfer. Compared to previous existing schemes, our methodology
features a greatly increased success probability. After the consumption of
auxiliary qubits and the performance of collective unitary operations, the
probability of successful state transfer is increased four-fold and eight-fold
for arbitrary two- and three-qubit entanglements when compared to other methods
within the literature, respectively. We conclude this paper with a discussion
of the presented scheme for state preparation, including: success
probabilities, reducibility and generalizability.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, 3 tables, Accepted to Entrop
Multi-photon entanglement and interferometry
Multi-photon interference reveals strictly non-classical phenomena. Its
applications range from fundamental tests of quantum mechanics to photonic
quantum information processing, where a significant fraction of key experiments
achieved so far comes from multi-photon state manipulation. We review the
progress, both theoretical and experimental, of this rapidly advancing
research. The emphasis is given to the creation of photonic entanglement of
various forms, tests of the completeness of quantum mechanics (in particular,
violations of local realism), quantum information protocols for quantum
communication (e.g., quantum teleportation, entanglement purification and
quantum repeater), and quantum computation with linear optics. We shall limit
the scope of our review to "few photon" phenomena involving measurements of
discrete observables.Comment: 71 pages, 38 figures; updated version accepted by Rev. Mod. Phy
The resurgence of the linear optics quantum interferometer — recent advances & applications
© 2019 Linear optics has seen a resurgence for applications in quantum information processing owing to its miniaturisation on-chip, and increase in production efficiency and quality of single photons. Time-bin encodings have also become feasible owing to architectural breakthroughs, and new processing capabilities. Theoretical efforts have found new ways to implement universal quantum computations with linear optics requiring less resources, and to demonstrate the capabilities of linear optics without requiring a universal optical quantum computer
Distributed Quantum Computation Based-on Small Quantum Registers
We describe and analyze an efficient register-based hybrid quantum
computation scheme. Our scheme is based on probabilistic, heralded optical
connection among local five-qubit quantum registers. We assume high fidelity
local unitary operations within each register, but the error probability for
initialization, measurement, and entanglement generation can be very high
(~5%). We demonstrate that with a reasonable time overhead our scheme can
achieve deterministic non-local coupling gates between arbitrary two registers
with very high fidelity, limited only by the imperfections from the local
unitary operation. We estimate the clock cycle and the effective error
probability for implementation of quantum registers with ion-traps or
nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. Our new scheme capitalizes on a new efficient
two-level pumping scheme that in principle can create Bell pairs with
arbitrarily high fidelity. We introduce a Markov chain model to study the
stochastic process of entanglement pumping and map it to a deterministic
process. Finally we discuss requirements for achieving fault-tolerant operation
with our register-based hybrid scheme, and also present an alternative approach
to fault-tolerant preparation of GHZ states.Comment: 22 Pages, 23 Figures and 1 Table (updated references
