Scheme for Generation of Maximally Entangled States via Entanglement Swapping
Wu Zhen-Zhen, Mao-Fa Fang, Chunlei Jiang · Communications in Theoretical Physics · 2006
Based on two atoms and two cavities initially in two pairs of atom-photon nonmaximally entangled states, we propose a relatively simple scheme to create maximally entangled photon-photon and atom-photon states via entanglement swapping using techniques of cavity QED inspired by the scheme proposed in [Phys. Rev. A 71 (2005) 044302] and [Phys. Rev. A 71 (2005) 034312]. Our scheme does not involve the measurement in Bell basis, we only require detecting the states of atoms.
