无噪声线性放大与纠缠态的提取

Noiseless Linear Amplification and Distillation of Entanglement

G. Y. Xiang, T. C. Ralph, A. P. Lund, N. Walk, G. J. Pryde

摘要:

信号放大的思想在物理系统的控制中无处不在,放大器的最终性能极限由量子物理学设定。增加未知量子光场的振幅,或者更一般地说,增加任何谐振子态的振幅,必然会引入噪声。这种线性放大噪声阻止了量子态的完美复制,对通信和计量学施加了量子限制,并且是防止通过本地操作增加纠缠的物理机制。已知理想克隆和局域纠缠增加(蒸馏)的非确定性版本是允许的,这表明非确定性无噪声线性放大的可能性。在这里,我们介绍,并实验证明,这样一个无噪声的线性放大器的连续变量状态的光场,并用它来证明场模纠缠的纠缠蒸馏。这种简单但功能强大的电路可以成为增强量子技术的实用设备的基础。无噪声放大的想法统一了克隆和蒸馏的方法,并将在量子精密测量和通信中得到应用。

英文摘要:

The idea of signal amplification is ubiquitous in the control of physical systems, and the ultimate performance limit of amplifiers is set by quantum physics. Increasing the amplitude of an unknown quantum optical field, or more generally any harmonic oscillator state, must introduce noise. This linear amplification noise prevents the perfect copying of the quantum state, enforces quantum limits on communications and metrology, and is the physical mechanism that prevents the increase of entanglement via local operations. It is known that non-deterministic versions of ideal cloning and local entanglement increase (distillation) are allowed, suggesting the possibility of non-deterministic noiseless linear amplification. Here we introduce, and experimentally demonstrate, such a noiseless linear amplifier for continuous-variables states of the optical field, and use it to demonstrate entanglement distillation of field-mode entanglement. This simple but powerful circuit can form the basis of practical devices for enhancing quantum technologies. The idea of noiseless amplification unifies approaches to cloning and distillation, and will find applications in quantum metrology and communications.
