Abstract

Many experiments in quantum information aim at creating multi-partite entangled states. Quantifying the amount of entanglement that was actually generated can, in principle, be accomplished using full-state tomography. This method requires the determination of a parameter set that is growing exponentially with the number of qubits and becomes infeasible even for moderate numbers of particles. Non-trivial bounds on experimentally prepared entanglement can however be obtained from partial information on the density matrix. As introduced in the paper of K.M.R. Audenaert and M.B. Plenio [New J. Phys. 2006, 8, 266], the fundamental question is then formulated as: What is the entanglement content of the least entangled quantum state that is compatible with the available measurement data? We formulate the problem mathematically [Audenaert, K.M.R.; Plenio, M.B. New J. Phys. 2006, 8, 266] employing methods from the theory of semi-definite programming and then address this problem for the case, where the goal of the experiment is the creation of graph states. The observables that we consider are the generators of the stabilizer group, thus the number of measurement settings grows only linearly in the number of qubits. We provide analytical solutions as well as numerical methods that may be applied directly to experiments, and compare the obtained bounds with results from full-state tomography for simulated data.

  • In the ideal case, detection of the two ancilla photons in the heralded CNOT occurs with probability p = 1/16 and guarantees the CNOT logic has been performed on the two photonic qubits.

    “In the ideal case, the detection of the two ancilla photons, which occurs with probability p = 1 / 16, guarantees the CNOT logic has been performed on the two photonic qubits.”

  • The heralded CNOT gate is a four-photon scheme [32] adapted for implementation with the six-mode LPU plus a seventh auxiliary coupling mode on chip.

    “The heralded CNOT gate shown in Fig. 2(e), is a four-photon scheme [32] that has been adapted for implementation with the six-mode LPU, plus a seventh auxiliary coupling mode (mode 0) also contained on our chip.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
