Entanglement accumulation, retrieval, and concentration in cavity QED
Daniel Ballester · Physical Review A · 2009
The ability to accumulate and retrieve entanglement in the fields of two remote cavities with pairs of two-level atoms is discussed. It is shown that this transfer and retrieval can be indeed ideal with a resonant interaction. The case of initial nonmaximally entangled atomic pairs is also considered. This leads to the possibility of concentrating entanglement into a single pair at the retrieval stage. A teleportation protocol based on the same setup is presented. This allows us to achieve teleportation with built-in entanglement concentration.
