Photon-induced Entanglement of Distant Mesoscopic Squid Rings
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experiment that involves two distant mesoscopic SQUID rings is studied. The superconducting rings are irradiated with correlated photons, which are produced by a single microwave source. Classically correlated (separable) and quantum mechanically correlated (entangled) microwaves are considered, and their effect on the Josephson currents is quantified. It is shown that the currents tunnelling through the Josephson junctions in the distant rings, are correlated.

Electron interference in mesoscopic devices in the presence of nonclassical electromagnetic fields
The interaction of mesoscopic interference devices with nonclassical electromagnetic fields is studied. The external quantum fields induce a phase factor on the electric charges. This phase factor, which is a generalization of the standard Aharonov-Bohm phase factor, is in the case of nonclassical electromagnetic fields a quantum mechanical operator. Its expectation value depends on the density...
متن کاملEntangled quantum currents in distant mesoscopic Josephson junctions
Two mesoscopic SQUID rings which are far from each other, are considered. A source of twomode nonclassical microwaves irradiates the two rings with correlated photons. The Josephson currents are in this case quantum mechanical operators, and their expectation values with respect to the density matrix of the microwaves, yield the experimentally observed currents. Classically correlated (separabl...
متن کاملCounterfactual quantum-information transfer without transmitting any physical particles
We demonstrate quantum information can be transferred between two distant participants without any physical particles traveling between them. The key procedure of the counterfactual scheme is to entangle two nonlocal qubits with each other without interaction, so the scheme can also be used to generate nonlocal entanglement counterfactually. We here illustrate the scheme by using flying photon ...
متن کاملThe Impact of the Spectral Filter Bandwidth on the Spectral Entanglement and Indistinguishability of Photon Pairs of SPDC Process
In this paper, we have investigated the dependence of the spectral entanglement and indistinguishability of photon pairs produced by the spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) procedure on the bandwidth of spectral filters used in the detection setup. The SPDC is a three-wave mixing process which occurs in a nonlinear crystal and generates entangled photon pairs and utilizes as one of th...
متن کاملEntangling single- and N-atom qubits for fast quantum state detection and transmission
Isolated neutral atoms trapped by electromagnetic fields are being studied intensively as a way of implementing a scalable quantum processor. In this approach to quantum logic the qubit basis states are represented by different ground-state hyperfine levels. The hyperfine states have decoherence times that are potentially many seconds long, limited mainly by weak interactions with the trapping ...
