A 75, 032320 (2007)", "categories": [ "quant-ph" ], "abstract": "A simple and efficient quantum non-demolition measurement (QND) scheme is proposed in which the arrival of a signal photon is detected without affecting the qubit state. The proposed QND scheme functions even if the ancillary photon is replaced with weak light composed of vacuum and one-photon states. Although the detection scheme is designed for entanglement sharing applications, it is also suitable for general purification of a single photon state.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-02-14T07:25:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "atom-cavity system", "efficient quantum non-demolition measurement", "photon-arrival", "qnd scheme functions", "single photon state" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
