Generation of hyperentangled four-photon cluster state via cross-Kerr nonlinearity

We propose a scheme for generating a hyperentangled four-photon cluster state that is simultaneously entangled in polarization modes and spatial modes. This scheme is based on linear optical elements, weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity, and homodyne detection. Therefore, it is feasible with current experimental technology.

Schemes for Generating Cluster States via Cavity Systems

We propose a scheme for generating an N-atom cluster state via cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED). In our scheme, there is no transfer of quantum information between the atoms and the cavity, i.e., the cavity is always in the vacuum state, so the cavity decay can be suppressed. Also, the generated cluster state is the entanglement of the ground states, so the atomic spontaneous emission can be avoided. Therefore, the cluster state generated in our scheme has a longer lifetime. Furthermore, the requirement on the quality factor of the cavity greatly loosened for the cavity is only virtually excited.

Entangled States Used in Remote Information Concentration and Their Properties

We analyse a process of remote information concentration achieved by the W state. The result turns out to be neither as good as performed by the GHZ state nor as by the Smolin bound entangled state. Based on this particular phenomenon, the properties of the three entangled states are realized.

Generation of a four-particle entangled state via cross-Kerr nonlinearity

We propose a scheme for generating a genuine four-particle polarisation entangled state |χ00) that has many interesting entanglement properties and potential applications in quantum information processing. In our scheme, we use the weak cross-Kerr nonlinear interaction between field-modes and the non-demolition measurement method based on highly efficient homodyne detection, which is feasible under the current experiment conditions.

Universal Quantum Cloning Machine in Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics

We propose a scheme for realizing the 1 → 2 universal quantum cloning machine (UQCM) with superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) qubits in circuit quantum electrodynamics (circuit QED). In this scheme, in order to implement UQCM, we only need phase shift gate operation on SQUID qubits and the Raman transitions. The cavity number we need is only one. Thus our scheme is simple and has advantages in the experimental realization. Furthermore, both the cavity and the SQUID qubits are virtually excited, so the decoherence can be neglected.

A Scheme for Generating Entangled Squeezed States Based on Cavity QED

We propose a scheme for generating entangled squeezed vacuum states of electromagnetical fields. The scheme is based on cavity QED. In this scheme, an atom interacts, successively, with a classical field, two quantum cavity fields, and another classical field. By detecting the final states of the atom, the two quantum cavity fields will be projected to an entangled state.

Ponderomotive squeezing and entanglement in a ring cavity with two vibrational mirrors

We investigate the properties of the ponderomotive squeezing and the entanglements in a ring cavity with two vibrational mirrors. In the part about squeezing, we find that the squeezing spectrum of the transmitted field shows a distinct feature when the two vibrational mirrors have different frequencies. We also study the effects of some external parameters such as the temperature and the laser power on the degree of squeezing. In the part concerning entanglement, we study the entanglements between the cavity field and one of the vibrational mirrors, and that between the two vibrational mirrors, with emphasis focusing on the robustness of entanglements with respect to the environment temperature.

Three-qubit quantum-gate operation with an SQUID in a cavity

We propose a method of realizing a three-qubit quantum gate with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) in a cavity. In this proposal, the gate operation involves the SQUID ground-states and the Fock states of cavity modes b and ĉ. The two field-modes act as the controlling qubits, and the two SQUID states form the target qubit. Since only the metastable lower levels are involved in the gate operation, the gate is not affected by the SQUID decay rates.

Controlled Phase Gate Based on an Electron Floating on Helium

We propose a scheme to generate the controlled phase gate by using an electron floating on liquid helium. The electron is also driven by a classical laser beam and by an oscillating magnetic field. In the process, the vibration of the electron is used as the qubus to couple the energy level qubit (1D Stark-shifted hydrogen) and spin qubit. Ultimately, the controlled phase gate can be generated.

One-step implementation of an N-qubit quantum phase gate through a double Raman passage

We propose a scheme for controllably implementing an N-qubit phase gate by one step within a ground-state subspace of N three-state atoms trapped in a cavity through a double Raman passage. We can extend our scheme to the realisation of an arbitrary N-qubit phase gate by appropriately adjusting coupling strengths and detunings between atoms and external driving fields. The advantage of this one-step scheme is its robustness against decoherence.
