Deterministic preparation of W states via spin-photon interactions

Abstract

Spin systems such as silicon or nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond, quantum dots and quantum dot molecules coupled to optical cavities appear as key elements for creating quantum networks as not only constituting the nodes of the network, but also assisting the creation of photonic networks. Here we study deterministic preparation of arbitrary size $W$ states with spin systems. We present an efficient operation on three qubits, two being the logical qubits and one being the ancillary qubit, where no interaction between the logical qubits are required. The proposed operation can create a $W$-type Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair from two separable qubits, and expand that EPR pair or an arbitrary size $W$ state by one, creating a $W$-like state. Taking this operation as the fundamental building block, we show how to create a large scale $W$ state out of separable qubits, or double the size of a $W$ state. Based on this operation and focusing on nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond as an exemplary spin system, we propose a setup for preparing $W$ states of circularly polarized photons, assisted by a single spin qubit, where no photon-photon interactions are required. Next, we propose a setup for preparing $W$ states of spin qubits of spatially separated systems, assisted by a single photon. We also analyze the effects of possible imperfections in implementing the gates on the fidelity of the generated $W$ states. In our setups, neither post-measurement, nor post-processing on the states of spin or photonic qubit is required. Our setups can be implemented with current technology, and we anticipate that they contribute to quantum science and technologies.
