The entanglement of damped noon-state and its performance in phase measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
The state evolution of the initial optical noon state is investigated. The residue entanglement of the state is calculated after it is damped by amplitude and phase damping. The relative entropy of entanglement of the damped state is exactly obtained. The performance of direct application of the damped noon state is compared with that of firstly distilling the docoherence damped state then applying it in measurement.

Entanglement of an Atom and Its Spontaneous Emission Fields via Spontaneously Generated Coherence
The entanglement between a ?-type three-level atom and its spontaneous emission fields is investigated. The effect of spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) on entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed. We find that in the presence of SGC the entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is completely phase dependent, while in absen...
متن کاملObservation of Four-Photon de Broglie Wavelength by State Projection Measurement
A measurement process is constructed to project an arbitrary two-mode N-photon state to a maximally entangled N-photon state (the NOON-state). The result of this projection measurement shows a typical interference fringe with an N-photon de Broglie wavelength. For an experimental demonstration, this measurement process is applied to a four-photon superposition state from two perpendicularly ori...
متن کاملNew fingerprint of the entanglement on the thermodynamic properties
The realization that entanglement can affect macroscopic properties of bulk solid-state systems is a challenge in physics and Chemistry. Theoretical physicists often are considered the entanglement between nearest-neighbor (NN) spins and tried to find its characterizations in terms of macroscopic thermodynamics observables as magnetization and specific heat. Here, we focus on the entanglement b...

The presence of loss limits the precision of an approach to phase measurement using maximally entangled states, also referred to as NOON states. A calculation using a simple beam-splitter model of loss shows that, for all nonzero values L of the loss, phase measurement precision degrades with increasing number N of entangled photons for N sufficiently large. For L above a critical value of appr...
