Entangling efficiency of linear-optical quantum gates    [PDF]

Karel Lemr, Antonín Černoch, Jan Soubusta, Miloslav Dušek

We propose a new measure of non-classicality of quantum gates which is particularly suitable for probabilistic devices. This measure enables to compare, e.g., deterministic devices which prepare entangled states with low amount of entanglement with probabilistic devices which generate highly entangled states but which fail sometimes. We provide examples demonstrating advantages of this new measure over the so far employed entangling power.
