On preparation of the W-states from atomic ensembles

A scheme, where three atomic ensembles can be prepared in the states of the W-class via Raman type interaction of strong classical field and a projection measurement involved three single-photon detectors and two beamsplitters, are considered. The obtained atomic entanglement consists of the Dicke or W-states of each of the ensembles.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, minor correction

Quantum teleportation of EPR pair by three-particle entanglement

Teleportation of an EPR pair using triplet in state of the Horne-Greenberger-Zeilinger form to two receivers is considered. It needs a three-particle basis for joint measurement. By contrast the one qubit teleportation the required basis is not maximally entangled. It consists of the states corresponding to the maximally entanglement of two particles only. Using outcomes of measurement both receivers can recover an unknown EPR state however one of them can not do it separately. Teleportation of the N-particle entanglement is discussed.Comment: 7 pages, LaTeX, 3 figure

On Multiparticle Entanglement via Resonant Interaction between Light and atomic Ensembles

Multiparticle entangled states generated via interaction between narrow-band light and an ensemble of identical two-level atoms are considered. Depending on the initial photon statistics, correlation between atoms and photons can give rise to entangled states of these systems. It is found that the state of any pair of atoms interacting with weak single-mode squeezed light is inseparable and robust against decay. Optical schemes for preparing entangled states of atomic ensembles by projective measurement are described.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, revtex

Efficient symmetric multiparty quantum state sharing of an arbitrary m-qubit state

We present a scheme for symmetric multiparty quantum state sharing of an arbitrary $m$-qubit state with $m$ Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states following some ideas from the controlled teleportation [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{72}, 02338 (2005)]. The sender Alice performs $m$ Bell-state measurements on her $2m$ particles and the controllers need only to take some single-photon product measurements on their photons independently, not Bell-state measurements, which makes this scheme more convenient than the latter. Also it does not require the parties to perform a controlled-NOT gate on the photons for reconstructing the unknown $m$-qubit state and it is an optimal one as its efficiency for qubits approaches the maximal value.Comment: 6 pages, no figures; It simplifies the process for sharing an arbitrary m-qubit state in Phys.
