Concentration of entanglement in collective-rotating decoherence-free subspace

Abstract

An entanglement concentration protocol in photonic collective-rotating decoherence-free subspace (CRDFS) is proposed. To accomplish the scheme, two methods to construct parity measurement devices in CRDFS are presented by exploiting the cross-Kerr nonlinearity, through which partially entangled states are converted to maximally entangled states. The performance of the protocol can be improved by iteration method. Fidelity in consideration of dissipation is discussed, which demonstrates good robustness. In contrast to the conventional protocols, the present one has distinctive feature since it can not only get maximally entangled state from less entangled state, but also maintain the maximal entanglement in collective-rotating noise environment.
