Abstract:
Hyperentangled-Bell-state analysis (HBSA) represents a key step in many quantum information processing schemes that utilize hyperentangled states. In this paper, we present a complete and faithful HBSA scheme for two-photon quantum systems hyperentangled in both the polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom, using a failure-heralded and fidelity-robust quantum swap gate for the polarization states of two photons (P-SWAP gate), constructed with a singly charged semiconductor quantum dot (QD) in a double-sided optical microcavity (double-sided QD-cavity system) and some linear-optical elements. Compared with the previously proposed complete HBSA schemes using different auxiliary tools such as parity-check quantum nondemonlition detectors or additional entangled states, our scheme significantly simplifies the analysis process and saves the quantum resource. Unlike the previous schemes based on the ideal optical giant circular birefringence induced by a single-electron spin in a double-sided QD-cavity system, our scheme guarantees the robust fidelity and relaxes the requirement on the QD-cavity parameters. These features indicate that our scheme may be more feasible and useful in practical applications based on the photonic hyperentanglement.
