Efficient entanglement concentration for arbitrary less-entangled NOON states
Abstract
We put forward an efficient entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for arbitrary less-entangled NOON state. In the protocol, we resort to the weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity to complete this task. Different from other ECPs, this protocol can be reused to get a high success probability. We do not need to know the exact coefficients of the initial state. Moreover, we even do not need to know the exact photon number of the initial NOON state. This protocol may be useful and convenient in the current quantum information processing.
