Iterative entanglement distillation: approaching the elimination of decoherence.

چکیده
We experimentally demonstrate the two-step distillation of entanglement. The output of a first distillation stage underwent a second distillation step and was made available for subsequent steps. Our experiment displays the realization of the building blocks required for an entanglement distillation scheme that can fully overcome decoherence.

Efficient entanglement distillation without quantum memory
Entanglement distribution between distant parties is an essential component to most quantum communication protocols. Unfortunately, decoherence effects such as phase noise in optical fibres are known to demolish entanglement. Iterative (multistep) entanglement distillation protocols have long been proposed to overcome decoherence, but their probabilistic nature makes them inefficient since the ...
متن کاملEntanglement distillation : a discourse on bound entanglement in quantum information theory
In recent years entanglement has been recognised as a useful resource in quantum information and computation. This applies primarily to pure state entanglement which is, due to interaction with the environment, rarely available. Decoherence provides the main motivation for the study of entanglement distillation. A remarkable effect in the context of distillation is the existence of bound entang...
متن کاملTeleportation via an Entangled Coherent Channel and Decoherence Effect on This Channel
We study an entangled two-mode coherent state within the framework of2×2-dimensional Hilbert space. We investigate the problem of quantum teleportation ofa superposition coherent state via an entangled coherent channel. By three differentmeasures with the titles ``minimum assured fidelity (MASF)”, ``average teleportationfidelity” and ``optimal fidelity (f)” we study the ...
متن کاملCompact continuous-variable entanglement distillation.
We introduce a new scheme for continuous-variable entanglement distillation that requires only linear temporal and constant physical or spatial resources. Distillation is the process by which high-quality entanglement may be distributed between distant nodes of a network in the unavoidable presence of decoherence. The known versions of this protocol scale exponentially in space and doubly expon...
متن کاملPreparation of polarization-entangled mixed states of two photons
Entanglement has played a crucial role for many applications of quantum information, such as quantum teleportation @1#, superdense coding @2#, quantum error correction @3#, etc. To function optimally these applications require maximal pure entanglement. However, unwanted coupling to the environment causes decoherence of quantum systems and yields mixed state entanglement. Therefore entanglement...
