[0041] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and techniques are provided for purposes of illustration rather than limitation to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application may be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid obscuring the description of the present application with unnecessary detail.

[0042] In addition, in the description of the present application specification and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present application. The terms "including," "comprising," "having," and their variations all mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0044] In a quantum communication system based on continuous variables of quantum entanglement, the entanglement degree of the quantum entangled source decreases due to factors such as signal loss, thereby reducing the performance of the communication system.

[0045] The traditional method of preparing an entangled quantum entanglement source is to first use two Type I non-critical phase-matched optical parametric resonators to generate single-mode squeezed vacuum state optical signals with orthogonal squeezing dimensions. The two single-mode squeezed vacuum state optical signals with orthogonal squeezing dimensions are then combined through a balanced optical beam splitter to obtain an entangled two-mode squeezed vacuum state (Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum State, abbreviated as TMSV) optical signal. Among them, the optical parametric oscillator (OPO) can also serve as an optical parametric amplifier (OPA).

[0046] There are currently two main methods to enhance the entanglement of continuous variable quantum entanglement sources:

[0047] The first is the noiseless linear amplification method, which is achieved through quantum scissors, quantum catalysis or measurement-based post-selection. However, the noiseless linear amplification technology based on quantum scissors and quantum catalysis requires auxiliary photons during the implementation process, which increases the complexity of the preparation method. In addition, the enhanced quantum entangled source generated by the measurement-based post-selection noiseless linear amplification technology cannot be transmitted freely, and its application in quantum communication systems is greatly limited.

[0048] The second method is to achieve this by performing non-Gaussian operations of adding and subtracting photons from the two modes of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state that has formed a quantum entanglement source (Photon-Subtracted Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum state, abbreviated as PSTMSV). The method of enhancing quantum entanglement based on PSTMSV can only increase the entanglement to a smaller extent, especially for quantum entanglement with relatively low compression strength. The improvement is limited and cannot meet the requirements for effective transmission of quantum information over long distances.

[0049] The preparation method of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: a first laser outputs a first pump light of a preset wavelength; a first optical parametric resonator is connected to the first pump light, and outputs a first optical signal in a first photon state, wherein the frequency of the first optical signal is a first frequency and the first photon state is a single-mode squeezed vacuum state; a first operation module is connected to the first optical signal, performs a non-Gaussian operation on the first optical signal, and outputs a second optical signal in a second photon state, wherein the second photon state is a non-Gaussian state; a second laser outputs a second pump light of a preset wavelength; a second optical parametric resonator is connected to the second pump light, and outputs a third optical signal in the first photon state, wherein the frequency of the third optical signal is a second frequency, and the first frequency is equal to the second frequency; a second operation module is connected to the third optical signal, performs a non-Gaussian operation on the third optical signal, and outputs a fourth optical signal in the second photon state; a first optical beam splitter is connected to the second optical signal in the second photon state and the fourth optical signal in the second photon state, and the second optical signal and the fourth optical signal pass through the first optical beam splitter to obtain an entanglement-enhanced quantum entanglement source, thereby improving the robustness of the continuous variable quantum communication system based on the entangled state, thereby improving the communication performance of the quantum communication system.

[0050] Some professional terms in the examples of this application are defined as follows:

[0051] The eigenvalue equation of the photon number operator is: n=0, 1, 2, ..., wherein the state |0> when n=0 is called a vacuum state, which is the state with the minimum uncertainty of the orthogonal components.

[0052] Without violating the uncertainty relationship (ΔX)×(ΔY)≧1 / 4, (ΔX)<1 / 2. The quantum state that satisfies the above relationship is called a squeezed state, where ΔX is the deviation of the orthogonal operator X and ΔY is the deviation of the orthogonal operator Y.

[0053] The compressed vacuum state satisfies both the compressed state and the vacuum state requirements, that is,

[0054] |ξ>=S(ξ)|0>

[0055] in, is the compression operator; ξ=re iθ , ξ is the compression parameter; r is the compression amplitude, which describes the strength of the compression, 0≦r<∞; θ is the compression angle (also called phase difference), which describes the direction of compression, 0≦θ≦2π, e is the base of the natural logarithm, and i is the sign of the imaginary part.

[0056] Assume that the states of subsystem A and subsystem B are |ψ A > and |ψ B >, the state vector of the composite system is |ψ AB >, if Then the composite system is said to be in a direct product state, also called a separable state, if |ψAB >≠|ψ A >|ψ B >,|ψ AB >=α|ψ A1 >|ψ B1 >+β|ψ A2 >|ψ B2 >, α≠0, β≠0, then the composite system is said to be in an entangled state, also called an inseparable state.

[0057] A method or device that can enhance the degree of entanglement between entangled particles in a quantum entanglement source is also referred to as a quantum entanglement distillation method or device. Entanglement entropy characterizes the degree of entanglement between entangled particles when the entangled state is pure. When the entangled state is a mixed state, logarithmic negativity is the most commonly used indicator to characterize the degree of entanglement between entangled particles. After partially transposing the density matrix of the entangled state, the eigenvalue of the density matrix is ​​negative, and the logarithm of the sum of the absolute values ​​of all negative eigenvalues ​​is the logarithmic negativity. Therefore, entanglement entropy and logarithmic negativity can both be used as indicators to evaluate the performance of quantum entanglement distillation methods or devices.

[0058] Among them, the calculation formula for the negative logarithm of the quantum entangled source prepared by the traditional method of entangled state is:

[0059]

[0060] Among them, E TMSV is the negative logarithm of the quantum entanglement source prepared by TMSV, λ = tanhξ, tanh is the hyperbolic tangent function, ξ is the compression parameter of the compressed vacuum state, when ξ approaches 0, the negative logarithm E TMSV tends to 0, that is, there is no correlation between the two particles.

[0061] The calculation formula for the logarithmic negative value of the enhanced quantum entanglement degree in the PSTMSV method is:

[0062]

[0063] Among them, E PSTMSV is the negative logarithm of the quantum entanglement source prepared by the PSTMSV method, λ = tanhξ, tanh is the hyperbolic tangent function, ξ is the compression parameter of the compressed vacuum state, T is the transmittance of the optical beam splitter used to add and subtract photons, when ξ approaches 0, the negative logarithm E PSTMSV When it approaches 0, the two particles are separable and there is no correlation between the two particles.

[0064] An optical frequency comb (OFC) is a spectrum consisting of a series of frequency components that are evenly spaced and have relatively stable phase relationships.

[0065] The optical beam splitter includes at least one of an optical energy beam splitter and an optical frequency beam splitter, and the photon number detector includes a single photon detector.

It is one of the four Bell states with the highest degree of entanglement. When the compression parameter is relatively large, the quantum entangled source prepared by the method of this embodiment still has a strong correlation.

When the compression parameter ξ=0.31 of the single-mode squeezed vacuum state (that is, the compression intensity is -2.69dB), the negative logarithm of the entangled quantum entangled source is 1.80; in addition, when l1=l2=3, 4, k1=k2=0, the non-Gaussian operation of subtracting 3 and 4 photons from the second and fourth optical signals respectively is realized. When the compression parameter ξ=0.31 of the single-mode squeezed vacuum state (that is, the compression intensity is -2.69dB), the negative logarithm of the entangled quantum entangled source is 2.12 and 2.21 respectively.
