摘要

Abstract

The robust operation of quantum entanglement states is crucial for applications in quantum information

computing

and communications

–

1–3

. However

it has always been a great challenge to complete such a task because of decoherence and disorder. Here

we propose theoretically and demonstrate experimentally an effective scheme to realize robust operation of quantum entanglement states by designing quadruple degeneracy exceptional points. By encircling the exceptional points on two overlapping Riemann energy surfaces

we have realized a chiral switch for entangled states with high fidelity. Owing to the topological protection conferred by the Riemann surface structure

this switching of chirality exhibits strong robustness against perturbations in the encircling path. Furthermore

we have experimentally validated such a scheme on a quantum walk platform. Our work opens up a new way for the application of non-Hermitian physics in the field of quantum information.
