ENTANGLEMENT CONCENTRATION WITH CROSS-KERR NONLINEARITY

Abstract

We propose a protocol for realizing two entanglement concentration scheme with cross-Kerr nonlinearity and double cross-phase modulation method. In our protocols, two remote parties do not require the accurate information of the less entangled state and the double cross-phase modulation is introduced to overcome the errors caused by the imperfect Kerr interaction. By this way, a single-photon entanglement is concentrated, and a three-photon polarized GHZ state is also achieved. Furthermore this protocol can be scaled to multiphoton polarized GHZ state concentration and the giant Kerr media is not needed, which makes our protocols more feasible in experiment.
