Long-range entanglement generation via frequent measurements
arXiv:quant-ph/0402209 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.70.032322
Abstract
A method is introduced whereby two non-interacting quantum subsystems, that each interact with a third subsystem, are entangled via repeated projective measurements of the state of the third subsystem. A variety of physical examples are presented. The method can be used to establish long range entanglement between distant parties in one parallel measurement step, thus obviating the need for entanglement swapping.
