Our method offers a reliable alternative to existing probabilistic protocols for W state entanglement swapping, which is crucial for various quantum information processing tasks. We present a detailed quantum circuit design, implemented using the Qiskit simulator, that outlines the preparation of W states and the execution of joint measurements required for the entanglement swapping process. Furthermore, we analyze the effects of imperfect operations and noisy communication channels on the fidelity of the resulting shared W state. To address these challenges, we introduce a weak measurement-based purification method that enhances fidelity in the presence of amplitude damping. Through mathematical analysis and Qiskit simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed protocol, offering a practical solution for high-fidelity W state generation in real-world quantum communication scenarios.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.03603v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.03603v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"deterministic-entanglement-swapping-of-w","repo_url":"https://github.com/Sjd-Hz/W-state-entanglement-swapping","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
