Heralded and Complete Interconversion Between W State and Knill–Laflamme–Milburn State via State‐Selective Reflection with Robust Fidelity

Abstract

AbstractThe interconversion of different types of entangled states not only can realize the information transmission but also play a significant role in quantum information technologies, including increasing scalability and computational power, and reducing error rates. Here, two protocols for achieving a complete interconversion between W state and Knill–Laflamme–Milburn state assisted by the quantum dot (QD)‐cavity systems and common quantum control gates are proposed. In particular, the protocols employ a heralded approach strategically designed to predict potential failures and facilitate seamless interaction between the QD‐cavity system and photons with the help of a single photon detectors, enhancing experimental accessibility. Through extensive analyzes and evaluations of two protocols, the proposed two protocols achieve remarkable utilization rates of photons (i.e., unit in principle) and achieve near‐unit fidelities and high efficiencies in principle.
