Error-rejecting entanglement purification and concentration for one-dimensional waveguide-emitter system

Abstract

The distribution of maximal entanglement stands as a pivotal technique in long-distance practical quantum communication. Specifically, achieving high-fidelity entanglement distribution leans upon efficacious entanglement purification and entanglement concentration. In this paper, we materialize error-rejecting nonlocal entanglement purification protocol (EPP) and entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for solid-state emitter systems assisted by the scattering property of photon-emitter in one-dimensional waveguide. The parity-check gates of both the EPP and ECP can herald the faulty events with the help of the detectors that click, so they are accomplished, in principle, with unity fidelities, which are conducive to implement two protocols. Moreover, additional emitters are unnecessary except a single photon.
