Entanglement distillation from Gaussian input states by coherent photon addition

The entanglement between Gaussian entangled states can be increased by non-Gaussian operations. We design a new scheme named coherent photon addition, which can coherently add one photon generated by spontaneous parametric down conversation process to Gaussian quadrature-entangled light pulses created by a non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier. This operation can increase the entanglement of input two-mode Gaussian states as an entanglement distillation, and provides us a new method of non-Gaussian operation. This scheme can also help us to study the decoherence of adding one to two-mode Gaussian states from coherent photon addition to normal photon addition.

Implementation of one-dimensional quantum walks on spin-orbital angular momentum space of photons

Photons can carry spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM), which can be used to realize a qubit system and a high-dimension system respectively. This spin-orbital system is very suitable for implementing one-dimensional discrete-time quantum random walks. We propose a simple scheme of quantum walks on the spin-orbital angular momentum space of photons, where photons walk on the infinity OAM space controlled by their SAM. By employing the recent invention of an optical device, the so-called 'q-plate', our scheme is more simple and efficient than others because there is no Mach-Zehnder interferometer in the scheme.
