Effect of cavity photons on the generation of multi-particle entanglement

Abstract

A study on the cause of the multi-particle entanglement is presented in this work. We investigate how dot-like single quantum well excitons, which are independently coupled through a single microcavity mode, evolve into maximally entangled state as a series of conditional measurements are taken on the cavity field state. We first show how cavity photon affects the entanglement purity of the double-exciton Bell state and the triple-exciton W state. Generalization to multi-excitons W states is then derived analytically. Our results pave the way for studying the crucial cause of multi-particle collective effect.
