  • 基于纠缠交换方法进行多跳量子信息传输,是实现远距离量子网络通信的基本方式之一. 传统的多跳量子网络通常使用单自由度极化光子纠缠态作为量子信道, 信息传输容量较低且容易受到噪声的干扰. 本文提出一种基于超纠缠的高效量子网络多跳纠缠交换方法,利用极化-空间模式两自由度的纠缠光子, 建立超纠缠量子多跳信息传输通道. 以远程超纠缠隐形传态的信道建立需求为例, 首先给出了基础的逐跳超纠缠交换方案, 为降低该方案的端到端超纠缠建立时延, 提出在中间量子节点进行同时测量的并行超纠缠交换方案. 在此基础上, 为降低并行超纠缠交换的经典信息开销, 进一步提出一种分级并行超纠缠交换方案. 理论分析及仿真结果表明该方案的纠缠建立时延接近于并行超纠缠交换方案, 但可以减少经典信息传输量, 在一定程度上实现两者的平衡. 相比传统的纠缠交换方法, 本文方案有利于解决远程超纠缠通信的需求,对未来构建更高效率的量子网络有积极意义.

     

    Entanglement swapping (ES) based multi-hop quantum information transmission is a fundamental way to realize long-distance quantum communication. However, in the conventional quantum networks, the entanglement in one degree of freedom (DOF) of photon system is usually used as a quantum channel, showing disadvantages of low capacity and susceptibility to noise. In this paper, we present an efficient multi-hop quantum hyperentanglement swapping (HES) method based on hyperentanglement, which utilizes the entangled photos in polarization and spatial-mode DOFs to establish the hyperentangled multi-hop quantum channel. Taking long-distance hyperentanglement based quantum teleportation for example, we first describe a basic hop by hop HES scheme. Then, in order to reduce the end-to-end delay of this scheme, we propose a simultaneous HES (SHES) scheme, in which the intermediate quantum nodes perform hyperentangled Bell state measurements concurrently. On the basis of this scheme, we further put forward a hierarchical SHES (HSHES) scheme that can reduce the classical information cost. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the end-to-end delay of HSHES is similar to that of SHES, meanwhile, the classical information cost of HSHES is much lower than that of SHES, showing a better tradeoff between the two performance metrics. Compared with the traditional ES methods, the scheme proposed in this paper is conductive to meeting the requirements for long-distance hyperentanglement based quantum communication, which has positive significance for building more efficient quantum networks in the future.
