Nonmaximally-entangled-state quantum photolithography
نویسنده
چکیده
Many previous works on quantum photolithography are based on maximally-entangled states (MES). In this paper, we generalize the MES quantum photolithography to the case where two light beams share a N-photon nonmaximally-entangled state. we investigate the correlations between quantum entanglement and quantum photolithography. It is shown that for nonlocal entanglement between the two light beams the amplitude of the deposition rate can be changed through varying the degree of entanglement described by an entanglement angle while the resolution remains unchanged, and found that for local entanglement between the two light beams the effective Rayleigh resolution of quantum photolithography can be resonantly enhanced.

An operator description of entanglement matching in quantum teleportation
The antilinear operator representation of bipartite pure states of the relative state formulation of quantum mechanics is applied to describe quantum teleportation schemes utilizing an arbitrary pure state as the entangled resource. Bennett type teleportation schemes with nonmaximally entangled pure states are characterized and the notion of ‘entanglement matching’ is introduced in general. Exa...
متن کاملMixed-state sensitivity of several quantum-information benchmarks
We investigate an imbalance between the sensitivity of the common state measures—fidelity, trace distance, concurrence, tangle, von Neumann entropy, and linear entropy—when acted on by a depolarizing channel. Further, in this context we explore two classes of two-qubit entangled mixed states. Specifically, we illustrate a sensitivity imbalance between three of these measures for depolarized (i....
متن کاملGreenberger-Horne-Zeilinger nonlocality in phase space
We show that the continuous-variable analogues to the multipartite entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of qubits violate Bell-type inequalities imposed by local realistic theories. Our results suggest that the degree of nonlocality of these nonmaximally entangled continuous-variable states, represented by the maximum violation, grows with increasing number of parties. This growth does ...
متن کاملEntanglement swapping via three-step quantum walk-like protocol
We present an entanglement swapping process for unknown nonmaximally entangled photonic states, where the standard Bell-state measurement is replaced by a three-step quantum walk-like state discrimination process, i.e., the practically nontrivial coupling element of two photons is replaced by manipulating their trajectories, which will greatly enrich the dynamics of the coupling between photons...
متن کاملProbabilistic Teleportation of a Qudit
Abstract It is known that if the shared resource is a maximally entangled state then it is possible to teleport an unknown state with unit fidelity and unit probability. However, if the shared resource is a nonmaximally entangled state then one has to follow a probabilistic scheme where one can teleport a qubit with unit fidelity and non-unit probability. In this work, we investigate the feasib...
