Bright Tripartite Quantum Steering Generated by Above-Threshold Optical Parametric Oscillation

Abstract

Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering is the key resources in quantum information processing. EPR steering light sources typically obtained through spontaneous parametric down conversion below a threshold are relatively weak. Strong bright EPR steering light source can be obtained by operating the resonant cavity above the threshold. Here, the quantum steering correlations of the system above the threshold are analyzed using numerical simulations based on the quantum random trajectory method in Wigner representation. By employing the genuine multipartite EPR steering criterion, it is demonstrated that genuine bright tripartite EPR steering can be generated above the threshold, and investigate the influences of the nonlinear parameters on the genuine tripartite EPR steering. The scheme of bright EPR steering light source generated by cascaded nonlinear process can be used as a quantum repeater in quantum communication.
