چکیده

We introduce the definition of generic bound entanglement for the case of continuous variables. We provide some examples of bound entangled states for that case, and discuss their physical sense in the context of quantum optics. We raise the question of whether the entanglement of these states is generic. As a by-product we obtain a new many parameter family of bound entangled states with positive partial transpose. We also point out that the "entanglement witnesses" and positive maps revealing the corresponding bound entanglement can easily be constructed.

We show the existence of Gaussian multipartite bound information which is a classical analog of Gaussian multipartite bound entanglement. We construct a tripartite Gaussian distribution from which no secret key can be distilled between any two parties yet it cannot be created by local operations and public communication. This demonstrates a close link between entanglement and secrecy in the dom...

Virtual entanglement and reconciliation protocols for quantum cryptography with continuous variables

We discuss quantum key distribution protocols using quantum continuous variables. We show that such protocols can be made secure against individual gaussian attacks regardless the transmission of the optical line between Alice and Bob. This is achieved by reversing the reconciliation procedure subsequent to the quantum transmission, that is, using Bob’s instead of Alice’s data to build the key....

Dealing with entanglement of continuous variables: Schmidt decomposition with discrete sets of orthogonal functions

Bipartite and multipartite entanglement is one of the features that give rise to many of the developments of quantum computation and information, like quantum teleportation [1, 2] and quantum cryptography [3, 4], among others [5]. The evaluation of the entanglement of a composite state is thus a main task to be done. For this purpose, the Schmidt decomposition [6, 7] has proven to be a valuable...

Teleportation of Continuous Quantum Variables

Quantum teleportation is analyzed for states of dynamical variables with continuous spectra, in contrast to previous work with discrete (spin) variables. The entanglement fidelity of the scheme is computed, including the roles of finite quantum correlation and nonideal detection efficiency. A protocol is presented for teleporting the wave function of a single mode of the electromagnetic field w...

Teleportation using continuous variable quantum cloning machine

We show that an unknown quantum state in phase space can be teleported via three-mode entanglement generated by continuous variable quantum cloning machine (transformation). Further, proceeding with our teleportation protocol we are able to improve the fidelity of teleportation obtained by Loock et.al. [Phys.Rev.Lett. 84, 3482(2000)]. Also we study here the entanglement between the two output c...
