Distillation of photon entanglement using a plasmonic metamaterial

Distillation of photon entanglement using a plasmonic metamaterial

Plasmonics is a rapidly emerging platform for quantum state engineering with the potential for building ultra-compact and hybrid optoelectronic devices. Recent experiments have shown that despite the presence of decoherence and loss, photon statistics and entanglement can be preserved in single plasmonic systems. This preserving ability should carry over to plasmonic metamaterials, whose proper...

Distillation of Two-Photon Entanglement by Anisotropic Metamaterial

By using the Green-function approach to the quantization of the electromagnetic field, the procrustean distillation for quantum entanglement by the anisotropic magnetodielectric metamaterial has been proposed. We study the distillation of the non-maximally entangled pure states by a single layer of the anisotropic magnetodielectric metamaterial. The Clauser– Horne–Shimony–Holt parameter S for t...

Distillation and bound entanglement

Renormalising entanglement distillation

It has long been noted in the field of quantum information science that entanglement constitutes the key resource in various information processing and specifically communication tasks [1]. Secure quantum key distribution necessarily relies on entanglement, even in a sense in prepare and measure schemes [2–4]. One of the main efforts in quantum information science has therefore been directed to...

Assisted entanglement distillation

Motivated by the problem of designing quantum repeaters, we study entanglement distillation between two parties, Alice and Bob, starting from a mixed state and with the help of “repeater” stations. To treat the case of a single repeater, we extend the notion of entanglement of assistance to arbitrary mixed tripartite states and exhibit a protocol, based on a random coding strategy, for extracti...
