Experimental realization of 7-qubit universal perfect controlled-NOT and controlled square-root NOT gates

Experimental realization of linear-optical partial SWAP gates

We present a linear-optical implementation of a class of two-qubit partial SWAP gates for polarization states of photons. Different gate operations, including the SWAP and entangling square root of SWAP, can be obtained by changing a classical control parameter -- namely the path difference in the interferometer. Reconstruction of output states, full process tomography and evaluation of entanglement of formation prove very good performance of the gates.

Perfect transfer of multiple excitations in quantum networks

We present a general formalism to the problem of perfect state-transfer (PST), where the state involves multiple excitations of the quantum network. A key feature of our formalism is that it allows for inclusion of nontrivial interactions between the excitations. Hence, it is perfectly suited to addressing the problem of PST in the context of various types of physical realizations. The general formalism is also flexible enough to account for situations where multiple excitations are "focused" onto the same site.

Generation of perfect W-state and demonstration of its application to quantum information splitting

We report the first experimental realization of perfect W-state in a superconducting qubit based system. In contrast to maximally entangled state, the perfect W state is different in weights and phases of the terms contained in the maximally entangled W-state. The prefect W state finds important applications in quantum information processing tasks such as perfect teleportation, superdense coding, secret sharing etc. The efficiency of generation is quantified by fidelity which is calculated by performing full quantum state tomography. To verify the presence of genuine nonlocality in the generat…

Generation of entangled channels for perfect teleportation channels using multi-electron quantum dots

In this work we have proposed a scheme for generating $N$ qubit entangled states which can teleport an unknown state perfectly. By switching on the exchange interaction ($J$) between the qubits one can get the desired states periodically. A multi electron quantum dot can be a possible realization for generating such $N$ qubit states with high fidelity. In the limit of $N \to \infty$, there exists a unique time $t=\frac{1}{J}\cos^{-1}(-1/8)$ where the Hamiltonian dynamics gives the $N$ qubit state that can assist perfect teleportation. We have also discussed the effect of the nuclear spin envir…

Perfect transfer of quantum states in a network of harmonic oscillators

This work presents an exactly soluble scheme to address the problem of optimal transfer of quantum states through a set of $s$ harmonic oscillators composing a network with connected ends as a closed quantum circuit. For this purpose we start from a general quadratic Hamiltonian form. The relationship between the parameters of the Hamiltonian, the network size, and the time interval required for such transfer are explicitly shown. Particular physical realizations of this Hamiltonian, transfer of entangled states, including transfer of states at the expense of a quantum entanglement, are also c…

Perfect mirror transport protocol with higher dimensional quantum chains

A globally controlled scheme for quantum transport is proposed. The scheme works on a 1D chain of nearest neighbor coupled systems of qudits (finite dimension), or qunats (continuous variable), taking any arbitrary initial quantum state of the chain and producing a final quantum state which is perfectly spatially mirrored about the mid-point of the chain. As a particular novel application, the method can be used to transport continuous variable (CV) quantum states. A physical realization is proposed where it is shown how the quantum states of the microwave fields held in a chain of driven supe…

Broadband Coherent Perfect Absorber with PT-Symmetric 2D-Materials

We suggest graphene and a two-dimensional (2D) Weyl semimetal (WSM) as 2D materials for the realization of a broadband coherent perfect absorber (CPA) respecting overall PT-symmetry. We also demonstrate the conditions for mutually equal amplitudes and phases of the left and right incoming waves to realize a CPA. 2D materials in our system play the role to enhance the absorption rate of a CPA once the appropriate parameters are inserted in the system. We show that a 2D WSM is more effective than graphene in obtaining the optimal conditions. We display the behavior of each parameter governing th…

Perfect squeezing by damping modulation in circuit quantum electrodynamics

Dissipation-driven quantum state engineering uses the environment to steer the state of quantum systems and preserve quantum coherence in the steady state. We show that modulating the damping rate of a microwave resonator generates a vacuum squeezed state of arbitrary squeezing strength, thereby constituting a mechanism allowing perfect squeezing. Given the recent experimental realizations in circuit QED of a microwave resonator with a tunable damping rate [Yin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 107001 (2013)], superconducting circuits are an ideal playground to implement this technique. By dispers…
