摘要: 基于光学量子行走, 设计了一个能够实现远程光子偏振态和空间态交换的方案, 使得光子的低质量偏振纠 缠与高质量空间纠缠发生互换, 最终使远程通信双方获得最大偏振纠缠态。也就是说, 利用光子在空间自由度上的 远程纠缠资源来辅助, 可提高光子在偏振自由度上的远程纠缠。所有的后选择结果都是成功的, 因此这里的态交换 是确定性的。该方案不仅适用于Werner态, 还适用于任意未知的远程光子偏振态, 因此该方案还具有普适性。方案 中的半波片和光束移位器都是成熟的光学器件, 所以该方案简单易行, 为远程偏振纠缠操控提供了另一种备选方案。

Abstract: Based on a three-step photonic quantum walk scheme, a swapping protocol is proposed for the spatial state and polarization state of two remotely distributed photons, so that the high-quality spatially entangled state and the poor polarization-entangled state of two photons can be swapped, enabling the two remote photons to be in maximally polarization-entangled state. That is to say, the polarization entanglement of the remotely distributed photons can be enhanced with the help of the spatial entanglement of them. Since all the post-selected states are maximally entangled states, the swapping scheme is realized in a deterministic way. The scheme is not only applicable to Werner state but also to arbitrary unknown remote polarization-entangled state, so the scheme is universal in this sense. In addition, half-wave plates and beam displacers used in the scheme are ordinary optical elements, so the scheme is simple and feasible, providing an alternative scheme for manipulating remote polarization entanglement in quantum communication.
