Characterization of high-dimensional entangled systems via mutually unbiased measurements.

چکیده
Mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) play a key role in many protocols in quantum science, such as quantum key distribution. However, defining MUBs for arbitrary high-dimensional systems is theoretically difficult, and measurements in such bases can be hard to implement. We show experimentally that efficient quantum state reconstruction of a high-dimensional multipartite quantum system can be performed by considering only the MUBs of the individual parts. The state spaces of the individual subsystems are always smaller than the state space of the composite system. Thus, the benefit of this method is that MUBs need to be defined for the small Hilbert spaces of the subsystems rather than for the large space of the overall system. This becomes especially relevant where the definition or measurement of MUBs for the overall system is challenging. We illustrate this approach by implementing measurements for a high-dimensional system consisting of two photons entangled in the orbital angular momentum degree of freedom, and we reconstruct the state of this system for dimensions of the individual photons from d = 2 to 5.

Separability criteria via sets of mutually unbiased measurements
Mutually unbiased measurements (MUMs) are generalized from the concept of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) and include the complete set of MUBs as a special case, but they are superior to MUBs as they do not need to be rank one projectors. We investigate entanglement detection using sets of MUMs and derive separability criteria for multipartite qudit systems, arbitrary high-dimensional bipartite ...
متن کاملViolations of local realism by two entangled N-dimensional systems are stronger than for two qubits
Tests of local realism versus quantum mechanics based on Bell's inequality employ two entangled qubits. We investigate the general case of two entangled quantum systems defined in N-dimensional Hilbert spaces, or " quNits." Via a numerical linear optimization method we show that violations of local realism are stronger for two maximally entangled quNits ( 3</=N</=9) than for two qubits and that...
متن کاملDetecting three-qubit bound MUB diagonal entangled states via Nonlinear optimal entanglement witnesses
One of the important approaches to detect quantum entanglement is using linear entanglement witnesses (EW s). In this paper, by determining the envelope of the boundary hyper-planes defined by a family of linear EW s, a set of powerful nonlinear optimal EW s is manipulated. These EW s enable us to detect some three qubits bound MUB (mutually unbiased bases) diagonal entangled states, i.e., the ...
متن کاملCluster state quantum computation for many-level systems
The cluster state model for quantum computation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 5188] outlines a scheme that allows one to use measurement on a large set of entangled quantum systems in what is known as a cluster state to undertake quantum computations. The model itself and many works dedicated to it involve using entangled qubits. In this paper we consider the issue of using entangled qudits instead. We...
