Simplified scheme for continuous-variable entanglement distillation: multicopy distillation of Gaussian entanglement without heralding Gaussian measurements
arXiv:2509.15065 · doi:10.1088/2058-9565/ae36cd
Abstract
Entanglement of continuous-variable Gaussian states can be distilled by combination of de-Gaussifying operation such as single-photon subtraction and iterative heralded Gaussification. Here we present and analyze a simplified equivalent version of such entanglement distillation protocol, where the Gaussian measurements utilized in heralded Gaussification are eliminated and are absorbed into the preparation of suitable input Gaussian states of the simplified protocol. The simplified scheme contains less detectors and its overall success probability increases in comparison with the original scheme, while producing completely equivalent outputs. Our simplification of the entanglement distillation protocol closely parallels the recently proposed simplification of a scheme for breeding optical single-mode Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill states [H. Aghaee Rad et al., Nature 638, 912 (2025)]. We investigate operation of the simplified entanglement distillation scheme for both pure and mixed input states and clarify how multicopy distillation of Gaussian entanglement emerges in a setup without any heralding Gaussian measurements.
