As quantum optics grows and develops, new sophisticated optical schemes require an increasing number of optical elements. Integrated photonic circuits have the capacity to provide a solution to this challenge, as they are intrinsically scalable and interferometrically stable. Integrated realization of multi-photon entanglement, quantum factoring algorithms, and polarization entanglement has alr...

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...

Imperfections in experimental measurement schemes can lead to falsely identifying, or over estimating, entanglement in a quantum system. A recent solution to this is to define schemes that are robust to measurement imperfections measurement device independent entanglement witness (MDI-EW). Here we introduce a novel approach for MDI-EW, which significantly reduces the experimental complexity and...

We study the exact non-Markovian dynamics of a multi-qubit system coupled to a photonic-crystal waveguide with infinite cavity-array structure. A general solution of the evolution state of the system is solved for a general initial state in the single-excitation subspace. With this solution, we find that the non-Markovian effect of the environment on the system could be enhanced not only by inc...

The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...

We improve previously proposed conditions each measure of entanglement has to satisfy. We present a class of entanglement measures that satisfy these conditions and show that the Quantum Relative Entropy and Bures Metric generate two measures of this class. We calculate the measures of entanglement for a number of mixed two spin 1/2 systems using the Quantum Relative Entropy, and provide an eff...

For entangled states of light both the amount of entanglement and the sensitivity to noise generally increase with the number of photons in the state. The entanglement-sensitivity tradeoff is investigated for a particular set of states, multi-dimensional entangled coherent states. Those states possess an arbitrarily large amount of entanglement E provided the number of photons is at least of or...

In the present study, temporal behavior of entanglement between photonic binomial distributions and a two-level atom in a leaky cavity, in equilibrium with the environment at a temperature T, is studied. In this regard, the master equation is solved in the secular approximation for the density matrix, when the initial photonic distribution is binomial, while the atomic states obey the Boltzmann...

The stabilization of steady state entanglement caused by action of a classical driving field in the system of two-level atoms with the dipole interaction accompanied by spontaneous emission is discussed. An exact solution shows that the maximum amount of concurrence that can be achieved in Lamb-Dicke limit is 0.43, which corresponds to the entanglement Emax = 0.285 ebit. Dependence of entanglem...
