ABSTRACT
We address the interaction of two Gaussian states of light interfering at a balanced beam splitter and analyze the correlations exhibited by the resulting bipartite system. Nonlocal quantum correlations (entanglement) arise if and only if the fidelity between the two input Gaussian states falls under a threshold value depending only on their purities. In particular, our result clarifies the role of squeezing as a prerequisite for entanglement and provide a tool to optimize the generation of entanglement by passive devices.

AbstractThe notion of entanglement fidelity is to measure entanglement preservation through quantum channels. Nevertheless, the amount of entanglement present in a state of a quantum system at any time is measured by quantities known as measures of ...
