摘要

We study entanglement concentration of continuous-variable Gaussian states by local photon subtractions enhanced by coherent displacements. Instead of the previously considered symmetric two-mode squeezed vacuum states, we investigate the protocol for input states in the form of split single-mode squeezed vacuum (i.e., states obtained by mixing a single-mode squeezed vacuum with a vacuum state on a beam splitter), which is an experimentally highly relevant configuration. We analyze two scenarios in which the displacement-enhanced photon subtraction is performed either only on one or on both of the modes and show that local displacements can lead to improved performance of the concentration protocol.
