Entanglement dynamics of three-qubit states in noisy channels
We study entanglement dynamics of the three-qubit system which is initially
prepared in pure Greenberger-Horne- Zeilinger (GHZ) or W state and transmitted
through one of the Pauli channels or the
depolarizing channel. With the help of the lower bound for three-qubit
concurrence we show that the W state preserves more entanglement than the GHZ
state in transmission through the Pauli channel . For the Pauli
channels and the depolarizing channel, however, the
entanglement of the GHZ state is more resistant against decoherence than the
W-type entanglement. We also briefly discuss how the accuracy of the lower
bound approximation depends on the rank of the density matrix under
consideration.Comment: 2 figures, 32 reference
Demonstrating various quantum effects with two entangled laser beams
We report on the preparation of entangled two mode squeezed states of yet
unseen quality. Based on a measurement of the covariance matrix we found a
violation of the Reid and Drummond EPR-criterion at a value of only 0.36\pm0.03
compared to the threshold of 1. Furthermore, quantum state tomography was used
to extract a single photon Fock state solely based on homodyne detection,
demonstrating the strong quantum features of this pair of laser-beams. The
probability for a single photon in this ensemble measurement exceeded 2/3
