The development of quantum computing in quantum dots systems requires highly efficient and continuous solid-state source of spatially separated spin-entangled electrons. One of the approaches is a use of double quantum dot system connected to superconducting lead, where Cooper pairs provide a source of naturally entangled electrons. Apart from the source, an useful tool for detection of quantum entanglement is needed. We present entanglement detection by the ferromagnetic electrodes using entanglement witness operator method and direct measurement of spin polarized current in the system. We investigate requirements that have to be fulfilled by ferromagnetic detectors.
Entangled states are essential in basics quantum communication protocols and quantum cryptography. Ferromagnetic contacts can work as a spin detector, giving possibility of converting information about electron spin to the electric charge, and therefore, detection of entangled states with the electric current measurements is possible. Method of confirming entanglement with non-ideal detectors is presented, the impact of decoherence and noise on states and quality of entanglement is discussed. Entanglement witness (EW) operator method is compared with the CHSH inequalities approach. Required spin polarization for the EW is lower than for the CHSH inequalities. System with asymmetric spin polarizations of detectors was analyzed, including the CHSH inequalities and the EW method.
