  • 近年来, 量子通信得到快速的发展, 利用超纠缠态进行量子通信越来越广泛, 量子通信过程中大多使用的是最大超纠缠态, 而最大超纠缠态容易受到噪声的影响, 变成非最大超纠缠态, 将直接影响通信的质量. 因此, 本文提出利用线性光学元件对偏振-时间超纠缠W态浓缩的方案, 方案不需要借助辅助光子, 只需要用光学元件对接收的光子进行局部操作, 通过参数分裂法实现三光子偏振-时间超纠缠W态的浓缩, 此外方案还可以推广到N光子的超纠缠W态的浓缩. 本研究将为多方量子通信的远距离实现提供理论参考.

     

    In recent years, quantum communication technology has developed rapidly, and quantum communication schemes based on hyperentangled states have attracted widespread attention due to their efficiency and security. However, in practical communication, maximally hyperentangled states are highly susceptible to environmental noise, which causes them to degrade into non-maximally hyperentangled states. This degradation significantly reduces the fidelity of the quantum information and communication efficiency. In this article, we propose an efficient entanglement concentration scheme to restore degraded polarization-time hyperentangled W states, thereby enhancing the reliability and transmission distance of multiparty quantum communication. The protocol employs the parameter-splitting approach, where the receiver performs local operations on received non-maximally hyperentangled photons by using linear optical elements, achieving hyperentanglement concentration through detector responses and post-selection. This method eliminates the need for auxiliary photons, thereby reducing the use of quantum resources and maintaining operational simplicity. Moreover, the scheme can be extended to N-photon hyperentangled W states. The theoretical calculations demonstrate that the success probability of the protocol is determined by the minimal parameter of the hyperentangled state, exhibiting a monotonic increase as this parameter grows. Under ideal conditions, the maximum success probability approaches unity and the success probability improves with the number of entangled photons increasing. When considering the efficiency of practical optical components, the maximal success probabilities for hyperentangled W states with N = 3, 4, and 5 are found to be 0.856, 0.791, and 0.732, respectively. Consequently, the proposed scheme efficiently concentrates the degraded polarization-time hyperentangled W state into the maximally hyperentangled state. This work is of significant importance for long-distance information transmission and provides theoretical references for implementing long-distance multi-party quantum communication.
