Entanglement generation via diffraction

Abstract: Quantum entanglement is an important resource for next-generation technologies. We show that diffracting systems can supplant beam splitters, and more generally interferometric networks, for entanglement generation -systems as simple as screens with pinholes can create entanglement. We then discuss the necessary and sufficient conditions for entanglement to be generated by states input to any passive linear interferometric network. Entanglement generated in free space can now be harnessed in quantum-optical ap… Show more

“…As a parallel method of development, one can mention high-frequency physical diffraction theories (for example, quantum diffraction by apertures [22,23]) and their comparison with the physics of simple quantum-optical devices (beam-splitters, interferometers, etc. [24]).…”

“…Hence, exploring effective and practical schemes for entanglement generation, improvement, and protection in open quantum systems is important for applying quantum entanglement and developing quantum technology. In recent decades, numerous protocols [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] have been proposed to generate and enhance quantum entanglement. For example, in refs.…”

“…Entanglement, apart from playing a crucial conceptual role in quantum mechanics [1,2], is widely considered a resource for quantum technologies since it enables various genuinely quantum protocols [3,4]. Accordingly, the study of suitable protocols to generate entangled states in a great variety of physical setups has attracted much attention in the last decades [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, generating quantum states with a certain amount of entanglement usually requires converting other resources into it, such as coherence [17,18], non-equilibrium thermal resources [18], and energy [19].…”

“…Protocols to generate entangled states typically exploit unitary processes [12,13,15] and, possibly, measurements [12,14,16]. On the other hand, dissipative processes have been also identified as possible sources of entangled states, e.g, when the steady states of the dissipative dynamics are entangled [5][6][7][8][9].…”
