Generation of polarization entanglement via the quantum Zeno effect
arXiv:2205.02315 · doi:10.1364/OE.464550
Abstract
The quantum Zeno effect reveals that the continuous observation of a quantum system can result in significant alterations to its evolution. Here, we present a method for establishing polarization entanglement between two initially unentangled photons in coupled waveguides via the quantum Zeno effect. We support our analytical investigation with numerical simulations of the underlying Schrodinger equation describing the system. Further, we extend our technique to three coupled waveguides in a planar configuration and determine the parameter regime required to generate three-qubit W-states. Our findings offer a powerful quantum state engineering approach for photonic quantum information technologies.
