Symmetric joint measurement as a complement to the elegant joint measurement

Traditional Bell state measurement (BSM) and product basis measurements (PBM) have been integral to nearly the entire development of quantum computing. Unlike the BSM and the PBM, a recently proposed two-qubit joint measurement called the elegant joint measurement (EJM) exhibits novel tetrahedral symmetry in its single-qubit reduced states. In [Phys.Rev.Lett.126:220401], a parameterized two-qubit iso-entangled basis was proposed, with concurrence between 1/2 and 1, perfectly spanning the original EJM and conventional BSM. We present a two-qubit symmetric joint measurement having concurrence from 0 to 1/2, which is complementary to [Phys.Rev.Lett.126:220401] and contains the PBM and the original EJM. We investigate the symmetry of the current structure and its application in triangular networks. The results indicate that the reduction vectors of the current basis states exhibit rotational symmetry, rather than the aforementioned mirror symmetry; moreover, the output probability distributions of three parties in the network explicitly demonstrate the expected permutation symmetry. Furthermore, we generalize the two-qubit symmetric joint measurement to the multiqubit systems with an even number of qubits.

Symmetric quantum joint measurements on multiple qubits

We investigate the generalization of symmetric quantum joint measurements on multiple qubits. We first describe a method for constructing a symmetric joint measurement basis for three qubits by utilizing single-qubit states corresponding to the four vertices of a tetrahedron on the Bloch sphere. We demonstrate the expected tetrahedral symmetry of the current measurement basis and discuss its application in a trilocal star-shaped network. This architecture enables us to generalize the two-qubit symmetric joint measurement to an $n$-qubit version, preserving the tetrahedral or hexahedral symmetry.

A more generalized two-qubit symmetric quantum joint measurement

A standard two-qubit joint measurement is the well-known Bell state measurement (BSM), in which each reduced state (traced out one qubit) is the completely mixed state. Recently, a novel quantum joint measurement named elegant joint measurement (EJM) has been proposed, where the reduced states of the EJM basis have tetrahedral symmetry. In this work, we first suggest a five-parameter entangled state and reveal its inherent symmetry. Based on this, we define a more generalized EJM parameterized by $z$, $\varphi$ and $\theta$, and provide the quantum circuits for preparing and detecting these basis states. There are three main results: (i) the previous single-parameter EJM can be directly obtained by specifying the parameters $z$ and $\varphi$; (ii) the initial unit vectors related to the four vertices of the regular tetrahedron are not limited to the original choice and not all the unit vectors in cylindrical coordinates are suitable for forming the EJM basis; and (iii) the reduced states of the present EJM basis can always form two mirrorimage tetrahedrons, robustly preserving its elegant properties. We focus on figuring out what kind of states the EJM basis belongs to and providing a method for constructing the more generalized three-parameter EJM, which may contribute to the multi-setting measurement and the potential applications for quantum information processing.

$(n,m,p)$-type quantum network configuration and its nonlocality

A quantum network shared entangled sources among distant nodes enables us to distribute entanglement along the network by suitable measurements. Network nonlocality means that it does not admit a network model involving local variables emitted from independent sources. In this work, we construct an $(n,m,p)$-type quantum network configuration and then derive the corresponding $n$-local correlation inequalities based on the assumption of independent sources. As a universal acyclic network configuration, it can cover most of the existing network models, such as the typical chain-network and star-network, and admit both centerless and asymmetric configurations. Then we demonstrate the non-$n$-locality of the present network by calculating the violation of the $n$-local inequality with bipartite entangled sources and Pauli measurements.

Quantum teleportation based on the elegant joint measurement

As a generalization of the well-known Bell state measurement (BSM), the elegant joint measurement (EJM) is a kind of novel two-qubit joint measurement, parameterized by a subtle phase factor $\theta \in [0,\pi/2]$. We explore quantum teleportation based on the EJM, inspired by Gisin's idea that quantum entanglement not only provides quantum channel and also quantum joint measurement for quantum teleportation. It is a probabilistic teleportation caused by undesired nonunitary quantum evolution. There are two interesting features in the present scenario. First, it goes beyond the conventional teleportation scenario, which can be included in the present scenario. Second, different from the BSM being single input and four outcomes, it can provide an adjustable input setting or even multiple measurement settings for the sender (or the controller). Moreover, we show in detail the feasible quantum circuits to realize the present scenario, where a few unitary operations and a nonunitary quantum gate are being utilized.

A scalable tripartite Wigner's friend scenario

Wigner's friend thought experiment is intended to reveal the inherent tension between unitary evolution and measurement collapse. On the basis of Wigner's friend experiment, Brukner derives a no-go theorem for observer-independent facts. We construct an extended Wigner's friend scenario including three laboratories, namely, Alice's laboratory, Bob's laboratory and Charlie's laboratory, where Alice, Bob and Charlie are standing outside the laboratories while their friends are placed inside their own laboratories. We consider quantum simulation via Q\# quantum programming and also realize the primary quantum circuits using IBM quantum computers. Then, we calculate the probabilities and corresponding statistical uncertainties. It has been shown that the results of quantum simulation are clearly consistent with theoretical values, while it has a slightly higher error rates for the experimental results of quantum computers mainly because of a series of quantum gates, especially CNOT gates.

On six-photon entangled state emitted from a single third-order parametric down-conversion process

We consider six-photon entangled state emitted from a single third-order parametric down-conversion process. In the regime of weak nonlinearities, we present a symmetry detector which is capable of analyzing the twin-beam six-photon symmetric states. By cascading the symmetry detectors, as an application, it is shown that one can purify the desired six-photon entangled state from an arbitrary twin-beam six-photon symmetric state. With linear optics we propose a fruitful scheme for exploring a class of multimode-photon entangled states from third-order parametric down-conversion process. Furthermore, we provide a method to generate the six-photon polarization entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state based on linear optics and weak nonlinearities.

Scalable Bell inequalities for multiqubit systems

Based on Clauser-Horner-Shimony-Holt inequality, we show a fruitful method to exploit Bell inequalities for multipartite qubit systems. These Bell inequalities are designed with a simpler architecture tailored to experimental demonstration. Under the optimal setting we derive a set of compact Mermin-type inequalities and discuss quantum violations for generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GGHZ) states. Also, we reveal relationship between quantum nonlocality and four-partite entanglement for four-qubit GGHZ states.

Preparation and purification of four-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state

We present an efficient scheme for preparing and purifying of four-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state based on linear optics and postselection. First, we describe how to create a four-photon GHZ state in both polarization and spatial degrees of freedom from two pairs. Moreover, in the presence of depolarization noise our scheme is capable of purifying the desired state. In the regime of weak nonlinearity we design an indirect photon number-resolving detection to distinguish two states of the two pairs. At last, a fourfold coincidence detector click indicates creating of a polarization-entangled four-photon GHZ state.
