Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum entanglement was initially presented, over eighty years ago by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen, as a fundamental problem in the theory of quantum mechanics.  In the years since this problem was presented, we have studied it, measured it and now want to use it as a resource for communicating quantum information. As quantum entanglement is fundamentally described through distant correlations, the study of entropy measures and information theory has naturally been utilized in the study of quantum entanglement.  The aim of this Special Issue is to disseminate the latest advances in the generation, utilization and quantification of quantum entanglement, enabling the communication of quantum information. Experimental quantum technologies are rapidly approaching the performance of ideal theoretical models. We are therefore moving towards an era where interconnected networks of quantum entanglement are a practical reality. This Special Issue is a timely opportunity to present results that will shape the future of quantum communications networks. Topics that this Special Issue will be interested in include theoretical and experimental results in entanglement generation, entanglement distillation, entanglement measures and resource theory, entanglement-based quantum cryptography, the storage of entanglement over long distances, the verification and quantification of quantum entanglement, and protocols for the utilization of quantum entanglement over long distances.

The monogamy property of entanglement is an intriguing feature of multipartite quantum entanglement. Most entanglement measures satisfying the monogamy inequality have turned out to be convex. Whether nonconvex entanglement measures obey the monogamy inequalities remains less known at present. As a well-known measure of entanglement, the logarithmic negativity is not convex. We elucidate the constraints of multi-qubit entanglement based on the logarithmic convex-roof extended negativity (LCREN) and the logarithmic convex-roof extended negativity of assistance (LCRENoA). Using the Hamming weight derived from the binary vector associated with the distribution of subsystems, we establish monogamy inequalities for multi-qubit entanglement in terms of the αth-power (α≥4ln2) of LCREN, and polygamy inequalities utilizing the αth-power (0≤α≤2) of LCRENoA. We demonstrate that these inequalities give rise to tighter constraints than the existing ones. Furthermore, our monogamy inequalities are shown to remain valid for the high-dimensional states that violate the CKW monogamy inequality. Detailed examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our results in characterizing the multipartite entanglement distributions. Full article

Josephson parametric amplifier (JPA) engineering is a significant component in the quantum two-mode squeezed radar (QTMS) to enhance, for instance, radar performance and the detection range or bandwidth. We simulated a proposal of using engineered JPA (EJPA) to enhance the performance of a QTMS radar. We defined the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and detection range equations of the QTMS radar. The engineered JPA led to a remarkable improvement in the quantum radar performance, i.e., a large enhancement in SNR of about 6 dB more than the conventional QTMS radar (with respect to the latest version of the QTMS radar and not to the classical radar), a substantial improvement in the probability of detection through far fewer channels. The important point in this work was that we expressed the importance of choosing suitable detectors for the QTMS radars. Finally, we simulated the transmission of the signal to the target in the QTMS radar and obtained a huge increase in the QTMS radar range, up to 482 m in the current study. Full article

Quantum routers will provide for important functionality in emerging quantum networks, and the deployment of quantum routing in real networks will initially be realized on low-complexity (few-qubit) noisy quantum devices. A true working quantum router will represent a new application for quantum entanglement—the coherent superposition of multiple communication paths traversed by the same quantum signal. Most end-user benefits of this application are yet to be discovered, but a few important use-cases are now known. In this work, we investigate the deployment of quantum routing on low-complexity superconducting quantum devices. In such devices, we verify the quantum nature of the routing process as well as the preservation of the routed quantum signal. We also implement quantum random access memory, a key application of quantum routing, on these same devices. Our experiments then embed a five-qubit quantum error-correcting code within the router, outlining the pathway for error-corrected quantum routing. We detail the importance of the qubit-coupling map for a superconducting quantum device that hopes to act as a quantum router, and experimentally verify that optimizing the number of controlled-X gates decreases hardware errors that impact routing performance. Our results indicate that near-term realization of quantum routing using noisy superconducting quantum devices within real-world quantum networks is possible. Full article
