A Graphical Formalism for Entanglement Purification — •Lina Vandré and Otfried Gühne — Universität Siegen, Germany

Hypergraph states form an interesting family of multi-qubit quantum states which are useful for quantum error correction, non-locality and measurement-based quantum computing. They are a generalisation of graph and cluster states. The states can be represented by hypergraphs, where the vertices and hyperedges represent qubits and entangling gates, respectively.

For quantum information processing, one needs high-fidelity entangled states, but in practice most states are noisy. Purification protocols address this problem and provide a method to transform a certain number of copies of a noisy state into single high-fidelity state. There exists a purification protocol for hypergraph states [1]. In my talk, I will first reformulate the purification protocol in a graphical manner, which makes it intuitively understandable. Based on this, I will propose systematic extensions, which naturally arise from the graphical formalism.
