Genuine entanglement under squeezed generalized amplitude damping channels with memory

We study genuine entanglement among three qubits undergoing a noisy process that includes dissipation, squeezing,and decoherence. We obtain a general solution and analyze the asymptotic quantum states. We find that most of these asymptotic states can be genuinely entangled depending upon the parameters of the channel, memory parameter, and the parameters of the initial states. We study Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger(GHZ) states and W states, mixed with white noise,and determine the conditions for them to be genuinely entangled at infinity. We find that for these mixtures, it is possible to start with a bi-separable state(with a specific mixture of white noise) and end with genuine entangled states. However, the memory parameter μ must be very high. We find that in contrast to the two-qubit case, none of the three-qubit asymptotic states for n → ∞ are genuinely entangled.

Measures of genuine multipartite entanglement for graph states

Graph states are special multipartite entangled states that have been proven useful in a variety of quantum information tasks. We address the issue of characterizing and quantifying the genuine multipartite entanglement of graph states up to eight qubits. The entanglement measures used are the geometric measure, the relative entropy of entanglement, and the logarithmic robustness, have been proved to be equal for the genuine entanglement of a graph state. We provide upper and lower bounds as well as an iterative algorithm to determine the genuine multipartite entanglement.

Robustness of Genuine Tripartite Entanglement under Collective Dephasing

We study the robustness of genuine multipartite entanglement for a system of three qubits under collective dephasing. Using a computable entanglement monotone for multipartite systems, we find that almost every state is quite robust under this type of decoherence. We analyze random states and weighted graph states at infinity and find all of them to be genuinely entangled.

Generating genuine multipartite entanglement via XY-interaction and via projective measurements

We have studied the generation of multipartite entangled states for the superconducting phase qubits. The experiments performed in this direction have the capacity to generate several specific multipartite entangled states for three and four qubits. Our studies are also important as we have used a computable measure of genuine multipartite entanglement whereas all previous studies analyzed certain probability amplitudes. As a comparison, we have reviewed the generation of multipartite entangled states via von Neumann projective measurements.

Schemes for Splitting Quantum Information with Four-Particle Genuine Entangled States

We propose two schemes for splitting single- and two-qubit states by using four-particle genuine entangled state as the quantum channel. After the sender performs Bell-basis （or three-partite GHZ- basis） measurements on her particles, and the cooperators operate single-particle measurements on their particles, the state receiver can reconstruct the original state of the sender by applying the appropriate unitary operation. In particular, in the scheme for splitting two-qubit state, the receiver needs to introduce an auxiliary particle and carries out a C-NOT operation.

Quantum Secure Direct Communication with Four-Particle Genuine Entangled State and Dense Coding

A quantum secure direct communication scheme using dense coding is proposed.At first,the sender (Alice)prepares four-particle genuine entangled states and shares them with the receiver (Bob) by sending two particles in eachentangled state to him.Secondly,Alice encodes secret information by performing the unitary transformations on herparticles and transmits them to Bob.Finally,Bob performs the joint measurements on his particles to decode the secretinformation.The two-step security test guarantees the security of communication.

Deterministic Joint Remote Preparation of Arbitrary Four-Particle Genuine Entangled State

A novel deterministic joint remote preparation scheme of arbitrary four-particle genuine entangled state from one sender to either of two receivers is proposed. Two three-particle Green-Horne-Zeilinger （GHZ） states and one four-particle GHZ state are used as the quantum channel. The presented scheme is realized through orthogonal projective mea-surement of the Hadamard transferred basis and recovery operation Ulijk）. Some useful and general measurement bases have been con-structed. The classical communication cost of the presented scheme is also calculated. Our analysis confirms the feasibility and validity of the proposed method, and shows that it has a 100% probability of success in preparation of the target quantum state.

Preparation of Genuinely Entangled Six-Atom State via Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

A cavity quantum electrodynamics scheme for preparing a genuinely entangled state [A. Borras, et al., J. Phys. A 40 （2007） 13407] on six two-level atoms is proposed. In the scheme, the atom-cavity detuning is much bigger than the atom-cavity coupling strength and the necessary preparation time is much shorter than the Rydberg-atom lifespan. Hence the scheme has two distinct features, i.e., insensitive to the cavity decay and the atom radiation.

Experimental verification of genuine multipartite entanglement without shared reference frames

Quantum entanglement is an essential resource for quantum information processing, either for quantum communication or for quantum computation. The multi- partite case of entanglement, especially the so called gen- uine multipartite entanglement, has significant importance for multipartite quantum information protocols. Thus, it is a natural requirement to experimentally verify multipartite quantum entanglement when performing many quantum int^rmation tasks. However, this is often technically chal- lenging due to the difficulty of building a shared reference lYame among all involved parties, especially when these parties are distant l^om each other. In this paper, we experimentally verify the genuine tripartite entanglement of a three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state without shared reference frames. A high probability 0.79 of successfully verifying the genuine tripartite entanglement is achieved when no reference frame is shared. In the case of sharing only one common axis, an even higher success probability of 0.91 is achieved.

Quantum Private Comparison of Equal Information Based on Highly Entangled Six-Qubit Genuine State

Using the highly entangled six-qubit genuine state we present a quantum private comparison(QPC)protocol, which enables two users to compare the equality of two bits of their secrets in every round comparison with the assistance of a semi-honest third party(TP). The proposed protocol needs neither unitary operations nor quantum entanglement swapping technology, both of which may consume expensive quantum devices. Single particle measurements and Bell-basis measurements, which are easy to implement with current technologies, are employed by two users and TP in the proposed protocol, respectively. The proposed protocol can withstand all kinds of outside attacks and participant attacks. Moreover, none of information about the two users' private secrets and the comparison result is leaked out to TP.

Generation of a Genuine Six-Atom Entangled State in Cavity QED

We propose a potential scheme to generate a genuine six-atom entangled state [J. Phys. A 42 (2009) 415301] by using atoms in cavity QED system, where the atoms interact simultaneously with the highly detuned single-mode cavity and the strong classical driving field. Thus our approach is insensitive to both the cavity decay and thermal field.
