Quantum entanglement has multiple applications in quantum information processing. Methods to generate highly entangled states independent of initial conditions is an essential task. Herein we aim to generate highly entangled states via discrete time quantum walks. We propose deterministic Parrondo sequences that generate states that are, in general, much more entangled than states produced by sequences using only either one of the two coins. We show that some Parrondo sequences generate highly entangled states which are independent of the phase of the initial state used and further lead to maximally entangled states in some cases. We study Parrondo sequences for both small number of time steps as well as the asymptotic limit of a large number of time steps.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
