High efficient scheme for remote state preparation with cavity QED

In this paper, a scheme is proposed for remote state preparation （RSP） with cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED）. In our scheme, two observers share two-atom nonmaximally entangled state as quantum channels and can realize remote preparation of state of an atom. We also propose a generalization for remote preparation of N-atom entangled state by （N＋1）-atom GHZ-like state （N ≥ 2）. By this scheme, one single-atom projective measurement is enough for the RSP of a qubit or N-atom entangled state, and the probability of success for RSP is unity. Furthermore, we have considered the case where observers use W-like state as quantum channels to realize RSP of a qubit. We compare our scheme with existing ones.     

Quantum interference between a single-photon Fock state and a coherent state

We derive analytical expressions for the single mode quantum field state at the individual output ports of a beam splitter when a single-photon Fock state and a coherent state are incident on the input ports. The output states turn out to be a statistical mixture between a displaced Fock state and a coherent state. Consequently we are able to find an analytical expression for the corresponding Wigner function. Because of the generality of our calculations the obtained results are valid for all passive and lossless optical four port devices. We show further how the results can be adapted to the case of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. In addition we consider the case for which the single-photon Fock state is replaced with a general input state: a coherent input state displaces each general quantum state at the output port of a beam splitter with the displacement parameter being the amplitude of the coherent state.     

Distribution of a modulated squeezed state over a lossy channel

The distribution of a modulated squeezed state over a quantum channel is the basis for quantum key distribution(QKD) with a squeezed state. In this Letter, a modulated squeezed state is distributed over a lossy channel. The Wigner function of the distributed state is measured to observe the evolution of the quantum state over a lossy channel, which shows that the squeezing level and the displacement amplitude of the quantum state are decreased along with the increase of the channel loss. We also measure the squeezing level in the frequency domain by the frequency shift technique. The squeezing of the modulated squeezed state at the modulation frequency is observed in this way. The presented results supply a reference for a QKD with a squeezed state.     

Classical Communication Help and Probabilistic Teleportation with One-Dimensional Non-maximally Entangled Cluster States

We present an explicit protocol for probabilistic teleport an arbitrary and unknown two-qubit entangled state via a one-dimensional four-particle non-maximally entangled cluster state. By construction, our four-partite state is not reducible to a pair of Bell states. We show that teleportation can be successfully realized with a certain probability. This protocol indicate that the four-qubit state is a likely candidate for the genuine four-particle analogue to a Bell state.     

Remote preparation of a Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger state via a two-particle entangled state

We present two schemes for realizing the remote preparation of a Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger (GHZ) state. The first scheme is to remotely prepare a general N-particle GHZ state with two steps. One is to prepare a qubit state by using finite classical bits from sender to receiver via a two-particle entangled state, and the other is that the receiver introduces N - 1 additional particles and performs N - 1 controlled-not (C-Not) operations. The second scheme is to remotely prepare an N-atom GHZ state via a two-atom entangled state in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). The two schemes require only a two-particle entangled state used as a quantum channel, so we reduce the requirement for entanglement.     

Physics behind the minimum of relative entropy measures for correlations

The relative entropy of a correlated state and an uncorrelated reference state is a reasonable measure for the degree of correlations. A key question is, however, which uncorrelated state to compare to. The relative entropy becomes minimal for the uncorrelated reference state that has the same one-particle density matrix as the correlated state. Hence, this particular measure, coined nonfreeness, is unique and reasonable. We demonstrate that for relevant physical situations, such as finite temperatures or a correlation enhanced orbital splitting, other choices of the uncorrelated state, even educated guesses, overestimate correlations.

Influence of shell structure and pairing correlations on the nuclear state density

A microscopic calculation of nuclear state densities was performed starting from realistic single-particle levels. Within this concept, a correspondence between microscopic ground state energy corrections and microscopic effects on state densities was deduced. It is shown that the approximations introduced by a simple analytical expression for the nuclear state density are comparable to the uncertainties of microscopically calculated state densities for nuclei in their ground state configuration. Guidelines for the determination of the parameters of this analytical expression were deduced from the microscopic computations.

Quantum Information Splitting by Using Asymmetric Multi-particle State

We propose schemes for quantum information splitting by using asymmetric multi-particle entangled state. Explicit protocols for the quantum information splitting of a single-qubit state and a two-qubit entangled state via asymmetric three-particle entangled state are illustrated. The four-particle asymmetric entangled state are also used as quantum channel to split the unknown two-qubit entangled state. We also consider the security against certain eavesdropping attacks.     

Decay width and final state in α-decay

If the theory for the decay of a prepared state is formulated in a model-independent way it leads to an equation for the final state. This continuum state is extremely non-resonant and orthogonal to the bound initial state which is used as a prepared state. The decay width is given by the matrix element of the exact Hamiltonian between these two states. Under certain conditions it can be reduced to a matrix element of the residual interaction. From the properties of the final state which are numerically tested with an example in potential scattering, follows the justification for the cluster ansatz in α-decay.     

Scheme for Cloning an Unknown Entangled State with Assistance via Non-maximally Entangled Cluster States

We propose a scheme for cloning unknown two-particle entangled state and its orthogonal complement state with assistance from a state preparer. Two stages were included in this scheme. The first stage requires usual teleportation by using a one-dimensional non-maximally four-particle cluster state as quantum channel, after Alice’s (the state sender) Bell measurement, Bob (the state receiver) can get the original state with certain probability. In the second stage, after having received Victor’s (the state preparer) classical message, the perfect copies and complement copies of an unknown state can be produced in Alice’s place, the probability of Alice to get the original state or its orthogonal complement state are calculated. Assisted cloning of an arbitrary unknown two-particle entangled state is discussed in the latter scheme.     

Deterministic Assisted Clone of an Arbitrary Two- and Three-qubit States via Multi-qubit Brown State

We present two schemes for deterministic assisted clone(DAC) of an unknown two- and three-qubit entangled states with assistance via muti-qubit Brown state. In the schemes, the sender wish to teleport an unknown original entangled state which from the state preparer, and then create a perfect copy of the unknown state at her place. The DAC schemes include two stages. The first stage requires teleportation with Bell-state measurements via a five-qubit Brown state(or seven-qubit Brown state) as the quantum channel. In the second stage, to help the sender realize the quantum cloning, the state preparer performs projective measurements on their own particles which from the sender, then the sender can acquire a perfect copy of the unknown state by means of some appropriate unitary operations. Furthermore, the total success probability for assisted cloning a perfect copy of the unknown state can reach 1 in our schemes.     

Analytical gradients of a state average MCSCF state and a state average diagnostic

An efficient method for calculating the Lagrange multipliers and the analytical gradients of one state included in a state average MCSCF wave function is presented. It is demonstrated that the state average energy of an ‘equal-weight’ scheme is invariant to rotations within the state average subspace and that the corresponding rotations should be eliminated from the Lagrangian equations. Finally, a diagnostic is presented, which gauges the energy difference between a state defined by a state average calculation and the corresponding fully variational multi-configurational SCF state.     

Dynamics of the even-binomial state in some quantum system

The effect of the even-binomial state (the state which interpolates between the even-number state and the even-coherent state) on the Jaynes-Cummings model and resonance fluorescence for a single atom and for many cooperative atoms is discussed. The study of two quantum optical systems in such a state provides more insight into the continuous passage from the even-number state to the even-coherent state. The squeezing phenomenon and the correlation functions are examined.     

Quantum speed limit for mixed states in a unitary system

Since the evolution of a mixed state in a unitary system is equivalent to the joint evolution of the eigenvectors contained in it, we could use the tool of instantaneous angular velocity for pure states to study the quantum speed limit (QSL) of a mixed state. We derive a lower bound for the evolution time of a mixed state to a target state in a unitary system, which automatically reduces to the quantum speed limit induced by the Fubini-Study metric for pure states. The computation of the QSL of a degenerate mixed state is more complicated than that of a non-degenerate mixed state, where we have to make a singular value decomposition (SVD) on the inner product between the two eigenvector matrices of the initial and target states. By combing these results, a lower bound for the evolution time of a general mixed state is presented. In order to compare the tightness among the lower bound proposed here and lower bounds reported in the references, two examples in a single-qubit system and in a single-qutrit system are studied analytically and numerically, respectively. All conclusions derived in this work are independent of the eigenvalues of the mixed state, which is in accord with the evolution properties of a quantum unitary system.     

Teleportation with Tripartite Entangled State via Thermal Cavity

Teleportation schemes with a tripartite entangled state in cavity QED are investigated. The schemes do not need Bell state measurements and the successful probabilities reach optimality. In addition, the schemes are insensitive to both the cavity decay and the thermal field. We first consider two teleportation schemes via a tripartite GHZ state. The first one is a controlled one for an unknown single-qubit state. The second scheme is teleportation of unknown two-atom entangled state. Then we consider teleporting of single-qubit arbitrary state via a tripartite W state.     

Teleportation of Three-Particle W State

We present two schemes for teleporting a three-particle W state by using four-particle state. We consider that the quantum channel is a maximally entangled state (four-particle cluster state) or a non-maximally entangled state. In our schemes, it is necessary to introduce additional particle and construct unitary transformation for realize perfect or probabilistic teleportation of the three-particle W state. In order to transmit target state successfully, Alice firstly performs two controlled-NOT on the initial state. The success probabilities of our two schemes are 1 and 4α ², respectively. Compared with other schemes proposed before, our scheme has higher efficiency.     

Teleportation and dense coding with genuine multipartite entanglement

We present an explicit protocol E0 for faithfully teleporting an arbitrary two-qubit state via a genuine four-qubit entangled state. By construction, our four-partite state is not reducible to a pair of Bell states. Its properties are compared and contrasted with those of the four-party Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and W states. We also give a dense coding scheme D0 involving our state as a shared resource of entanglement. Both D0 and E0 indicate that our four-qubit state is a likely candidate for the genuine four-partite analogue to a Bell state.     

Nonlocality and Multipartite Entanglement in Asymptotically Flat Space-Times

We study the Bell's inequality and multipartite entanglement generation for initially maximally entangled states of free Dirac field in a non inertial frame and asymptotically flat Robertson–Walker space-time.For two qubit case,we show that the Bell's inequality always is violated as measured by the accelerated observers which are in the causally connected regions.On the other hand,for those observers in the causally disconnected regions inequality is not violated for any values of acceleration.The generated three qubit state from two qubit state due to acceleration of one parties has a zero 3-tangle.For a three qubit state,the inequality violated for measurements done by both causally connected and disconnected observers.Initially GHZ state with non zero 3-tangle,in accelerated frame,transformed to a four qubit state with vanishing 4-tangle value.On the other hand,for a W-state with zero 3-tangle,in non inertial frame,transformed to a four qubit state with a non-zero 4-tangle acceleration dependent.In an expanding space-time with asymptotically flat regions,for an initially maximally entangled state,the maximum value of violation of Bell's inequality in the far past decreased in the far future due to cosmological particle creation.For some initially maximally entangled states,the generated four qubit state due to expansion of space-time,has non vanishing 4-tangle.
