Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.2.7 Entanglement swapping

Course subject(s) Module 2: Working with Multiple Qubits

Can two parties share entanglement without ever interacting with each other?  In this video Gustavo will answer this question and take you through the steps of the entanglement swapping protocol.

  • Two non-connected parties can achieve entanglement using two Bell States, two classical bits and a common intermediate station.
  • Throughout the process the intermediate station gains no information about the states of the two parties.
