- Abstract: Losses are ubiquitous in physics and are usually regarded as harmful in quantum information processing. Here, we propose a loss-induced scheme to achieve nonreciprocity and nonreciprocal entanglement in a superconducting platform, where two remote superconducting transmon qubits are connected via two lossy auxiliary cavities. The nonreciprocity in our scheme originates from interference between multiple lossy coupling paths. The coherent phases associated with the qubit-resonator couplings reverse sign under propagation reversal, while the loss-induced phases remain direction independent. Their combined effect leads to different interference conditions in the opposite directions, resulting in unequal effective couplings. We show that this loss-induced scheme can generate nonreciprocal quantum entanglement, indicating that loss can be utilized as a resource. Moreover, the tunability of nonreciprocity and nonreciprocal entanglement in our scheme can be manipulated by the relative phase induced by loss, allowing to tailor both reciprocal and nonreciprocal behaviors. Our results establish a direct link between engineered loss and nonreciprocal entanglement in quantum information processing and offer potential applications in scalable quantum networks.
