Abstract

It has been shown that entanglement distillation of Gaussian entangled states by means of local photon subtraction can be improved by local Gaussian transformations. Here we show that a similar effect can be expected for the distillation of an asymmetric Gaussian entangled state that is produced by a single squeezed beam. We show that for low initial entanglement, our largely simplified protocol generates more entanglement than previous proposed protocols. Furthermore, we show that the distillation scheme also works efficiently on decohered entangled states as well as with a practical photon subtraction setup.

(a) Logarithmic negativity as a function of the average number of photons of the initial squeezed state. 1(2)MSV: Single (two) mode squeezed vacuum states used initially. 1(2)PS: Single (two) photon subtraction. D2PS: Displacement based two-photon subtraction with optimal displacement. (b) The logarithmic negativities obtained in the 1MSV D2PS setting for varying displacement amplitudes α = −β. The color scale goes from EN = 0 (blue) to EN = 2.1. The dashed black curves indicate the α values that optimize EN (which results in the entanglement curve in (a)), while the solid line follows the optimal value in the low-squeezing limit of Eq. (5). (c) As (b), but for the 2-mode squeezed vacuum.

Two-mode squeezing: Variance of the x-quadrature difference (left), p-quadrature sum (center) and their sum (right) for the same states as studied in Fig. 2(a). See that figure for abbreviations. The gray line at 2 in the right graph indicates the Simon-Duan entanglement criterion for Gaussian states. In these plots, however, only the 1MSV and 2MSV states are Gaussian.

(a) The logarithmic negativity is plotted as a function of the loss of the two channels. The attenuation is identical in the two channels. See caption of Fig. 2 for abbreviations. (b) The logarithmic negativity as a function of the displacement amplitude for the two-photon subtracted single- and two-mode squeezed vacuum with losses varying from 0 (top curves) to 0.9 (bottom curves) in steps of 0.15. In both panels, the initial photon number is 0.1.
