Generation of Three-Mode Entanglement Based on Parametric Amplifiers Using Quantum Entanglement Swapping

Quantum entanglement swapping is one of the most promising quantum techniques to create or manipulate large-scale multi-mode entanglement between two distant quantum entangled systems. In this work, a scheme for the generation of three-mode entanglement based on parametric amplifiers using quantum entanglement swapping has been proposed. The newly generated three-mode entanglement is always present in the whole power gain region from parametric amplifiers and its dependence on transmission loss and feedforward gain is also investigated. In addition, the effects of power gain, transmission loss, and feedforward gain on the two-mode entanglement of the three pairs in the newly generated three-mode entanglement have also been analysed in detail. The results presented here may find some practical applications in quantum secure communication

Annealing effect on indium tin oxide thin films by DC magnetron sputtering for alkali vapor cell heating

This paper reports the annealing effect on the DC sputter transparent conducting tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) films for the alkali vapor cell heater of the chip-scale atomic sensors. ITO films with a thickness of 140 nm were deposited on BF33 glass substrates at [Formula: see text], followed by an annealing process in N2 atmosphere for 2 h at different temperatures between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The effect of annealing on the crystal structure, surface morphology, optical, and electrical properties of ITO films was characterized. The predominant orientation of crystal face of the as-deposited and annealed ITO thin films was (222) instead of (400). After annealing at [Formula: see text] the ITO film exhibits the highest transmittance ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]90%) to the lights at the wavelength of 780 nm, 795 nm and 894 nm regarding the probe light in a chip scale atomic device. Besides, the lowest sheet resistance and resistivity were obtained as 27.8 [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] separately. The refractive index and extinction coefficients results verified the crystal orientation and the transmittance results. This thin ITO film was expected to be the best candidate for the transparent heater in the chip scale atomic devices. </jats:p
