Heralded generation of symmetric and asymmetric entangled qudits with weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity

High-dimensional entangled states have attracted attention because of their strong nonlocality and powerful capability for quantum information processing. By the methods presented in this paper, arbitrary forms-entangled qudits including symmetric and asymmetric forms could be generated with weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity. These schemes are heralded by the use of single-photon detectors. If all the detectors do not register any single photons, the generation is a success with the probability 1/nM determined by dimension n and partite M. Furthermore, these schemes work well even with the common photon number nonresolving detectors; therefore they are feasible with the current experimental technology.
