Controllable entanglement sudden birth of Heisenberg spins

We investigate the Entanglement Sudden Birth (ESB) of two Heisenberg spins A and B. The third controller, qutrit C is introduced, which only has the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) spin-orbit interaction with qubit B. We find that the DM interaction is necessary to induce the Entanglement Sudden Birth of the system qubits A and B, and the initial states of the system qubits and the qurit C are also important to control its Entanglement Sudden Birth.

Control of entanglement sudden death induced by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a system composed of two non-interacting qubits,A and B.A third qubit,C,only has the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya(DM)spin-orbit interaction with qubit B.We find that the DM interaction can induce the entanglement sudden death(ESD)of the system qubits A and B,andproperly mixing the initial state of the system and adjusting the state of qubit C are two effective methods of controlling ESD.     

The entanglement dynamics of interacting qubits embedded in a spin environment with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya term

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two interacting qubits in a spin environment, which is described by an XY model with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction. The competing effects of environmental noise and interqubit coupling on entanglement generation for various system parameters are studied. We find that the entanglement generation is suppressed remarkably in weak-coupling region at quantum critical point (QCP). However, the suppression of the entanglement generation at QCP can be compensated both by increasing the DM interaction and by decreasing the anisotropy of the spin chain. Beyond the weak-coupling region, there exist resonance peaks of concurrence when the system-bath coupling equals to external magnetic field. We attribute the presence of resonance peaks to the flat band of the self-Hamiltonian. These peaks are highly sensitive to anisotropy parameter and DM interaction.     

Bipartite Entanglement Dynamics in Three Qubits System withDzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction

We investigate the bipartite entanglement dynamics of the systemcomposed by three qubits A, B, and C. There is no interaction betweenA and B, and that of C and B is Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) spin-orbit interaction. We find that the purity of qubits A and B and the initial state of the qubit C are the two effective parameters to control the entanglement dynamics of the bipartite subsystems. This study sheds some lights on the control of quantum entanglement, which would be helpful for quantum information processing.

Bipartite all-versus-nothing proofs of Bell's theorem with single-qubit measurements

If n qubits were distributed between 2 parties, which quantum pure states and distributions of qubits would allow all-versus-nothing (or Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-like) proofs of Bell's theorem using only single-qubit measurements? We show a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of these proofs for any number of qubits, and provide all distinct proofs up to n=7 qubits. Remarkably, there is only one distribution of a state of n=4 qubits, and six distributions, each for a different state of n=6 qubits, which allow these proofs.     

Compressed quantum simulation of the Ising model

Jozsa et al. [Proc. R. Soc. A 466, 809 2009)] have shown that a match gate circuit running on n qubits can be compressed to a universal quantum computation on log(n)+3 qubits. Here, we show how this compression can be employed to simulate the Ising interaction of a 1D chain consisting of n qubits using a universal quantum computer running on log(n) qubits. We demonstrate how the adiabatic evolution can be realized on this exponentially smaller system and how the magnetization, which displays a quantum phase transition, can be measured. This shows that the quantum phase transition of very large systems can be observed experimentally with current technology.

Entangled quantum heat engines based on two two-spin systems with Dzyaloshinski-Moriya anisotropic antisymmetric interaction

We construct an entangled quantum heat engine (EQHE) based on two two-spin systems with Dzyaloshinski-Moriya (DM) anisotropic antisymmetric interaction. By applying the explanations of heat transferred and work performed at the quantum level in Kieu’s work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 140403 (2004)], the basic thermodynamic quantities, i.e., heat transferred, net work done in a cycle and efficiency of EQHE are investigated in terms of DM interaction and concurrence. The validity of the second law of thermodynamics is confirmed in the entangled system. It is found that there is a same efficiency for both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic cases, and the efficiency can be controlled in two manners: (1) only by spin-spin interaction J and DM interaction D; (2) only by the temperature T and concurrence C. In order to obtain a positive net work, we need not entangle all qubits in two two-spin systems and we only require the entanglement between qubits in a two-spin system not be zero. As the ratio of entanglement between qubits in two two-spin systems increases, the efficiency will approach infinitely the classical Carnot one. An interesting phenomenon is an abrupt transition of the efficiency when the entanglements between qubits in two two-spin systems are equal.     

Dynamics of quantum discord in a two-qubit system under classical noise

We study the quantum discord dynamics of two noninteracting qubits that are, respectively, subject to classical noise. The results show that the dynamics of quantum discord are dependent on both the coupling between the qubits and classical noise, and the average switching rate of the classical noise. In the weak-coupling Markovian region, quantum discord exhibits exponent decay without revival, and can be well protected by increasing the average classical noise switching rate. While in the strong-coupling non-Markovian region, quantum discord reveals slowly decayed oscillations with quick revival by decreasing the average switching rate of the classical noise. Thus, our results provide a new method of protecting quantum discord in a two-qubit system by controlling the coupling between the qubits and classical noise, and the average switching rate of the classical noise.     

Dynamics of quantum discord for two correlated qubits in two independent reservoirs at finite temperature

We investigate dynamics of quantum discord (QD) for two initially-correlated qubits in two independent Ohmic reservoirs at finite temperature. It is indicated that the QD changes from a constant regime to a decaying regime when the two qubits are initially prepared in X-type quantum states. In the QD constant regime, the initial QD can be preserved despite decoherence in the system. It is found that temperature difference between two reservoirs significantly affects the preservation duration (PD) of the initial QD. We show that it is possible to enhance the preservation duration by properly choosing system parameters of the two qubits and reservoir parameters. Physically, it is found that the PD of the QD can reflect the temperature inhomogeneity of the non-equilibrium system which consists of the two qubits and their reservoirs.     

Programmable Quantum Processor with Quantum Dot Qubits

The realization of controllable couplings between any two qubits and among any multiple qubits is the critical problem in building a programmable quantum processor(PQP). We present a design to implement these types of couplings in a double-dot molecule system, where all the qubits are connected directly with capacitors and the couplings between them are controlled via the voltage on the double-dot molecules. A general interaction Hamiltonian of n qubits is presented, from which we can derive the Hamiltonians for performing operations needed in building a PQP, such as gate operations between arbitrary two qubits and parallel coupling operations for multigroup qubits. The scheme is realizable with current technology.     

Dynamics of Quantum Dissonance of Two Qubit XXZ Model with Dzyloshinsky-Moriya Interaction Coupled to Non-Markovian Environment

We consider the dynamics of quantum correlations of two coupled spin qubits with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction influenced by a local external magnetic field along the z-direction and coupled to bath spin- $\frac{1}{2}$ particles as independent non-Markovian environment. For this model, we calculate the entanglement measure of concurrence, quantum discord and quantum dissonance and find effects of DM interaction, bath-system coupling constant and temperature on the dynamics of quantum correlation. At last, we obtain the teleportation for this model by using fidelity and observe changes of DM interaction, bath-system coupling constant, temperature and magnetic field on fidelity.     

Producing cluster states in charge qubits and flux qubits

We propose a method to efficiently generate cluster states in charge qubits, both semiconducting and superconducting, as well as flux qubits. We show that highly entangled cluster states can be realized by a "one-touch" entanglement operation by tuning gate bias voltages for charge qubits. We also investigate the robustness of these cluster states for nonuniform qubits, which are unavoidable in solid-state systems. We find that quantum computation based on cluster states is a promising approach for solid-state qubits.     

Only n-Qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states are undetermined by their reduced density matrices

The generalized n-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states and their local unitary equivalents are the only states of n qubits that are not uniquely determined among pure states by their reduced density matrices of n-1 qubits. Thus, among pure states, the generalized GHZ states are the only ones containing information at the n-party level. We point out a connection between local unitary stabilizer subgroups and the property of being determined by reduced density matrices.     

Acoustic spin-1 Weyl semimetal

The study of topological semimetals hosting spin-1 Weyl points(WPs) beyond Dirac points and WPs has attracted a great deal of attention. However, a spin-1 Weyl semimetal that exclusively possesses spin-1 WPs in a clean frequency window without being shadowed by any other nodal points is yet to be discovered. This study reports a spin-1 Weyl semimetal in a phononic crystal. Its spin-1 WPs are touched by two linear dispersions and an additional flat band and carry monopole charges(-2,0,2) or(2,0,-2) for the three bands from the bottom to the top. They result in double Fermi arcs, which occur between the first and second bands, as well as between the second and third bands. Further robust propagation is observed against the multiple joints and topological negative refraction of the acoustic surface arc wave. The results of this study create the basis for the exploration of the unusual properties of spin-1 Weyl physics on a macroscopic scale.     

Realization of adiabatic and diabatic CZ gates in superconducting qubits coupled with a tunable coupler

High fidelity two-qubit gates are fundamental for scaling up the superconducting qubit number.We use two qubits coupled via a frequency-tunable coupler which can adjust the coupling strength,and demonstrate the CZ gate using two different schemes,adiabatic and diabatic methods.The Clifford based randomized benchmarking(RB) method is used to assess and optimize the CZ gate fidelity.The fidelities of adiabatic and diabatic CZ gates are 99.53(8)% and 98.72(2)%,respectively.We also analyze the errors induced by the decoherence.Comparing to 30 ns duration time of adiabatic CZ gate,the duration time of diabatic CZ gate is 19 ns,revealing lower incoherence error rate r'_(incoherent,int)=0.0197(5) compared to r_(incoherent,int)=0.0223(3).     

Evolution of entanglement between qubits ultra-strongly coupling to a quantum oscillator

We investigate the dynamics of two qubits coupled with a quantum oscillator by using the adiabatic approximation method. We take account of the interaction between the qubits and show how the entanglement is affected by the interaction parameter. The most interesting result is that we can prolong the entanglement time or improve the entanglement degree by using an appropriate interaction parameter. As the generation and preservation of entanglement of qubits are crucial for quantum information processing, our research will be useful.     

Spectra and Eigenstates of Spin Chain Hamiltonians

We prove that translationally invariant Hamiltonians of a chain of n qubits with nearest-neighbour interactions have two seemingly contradictory features. Firstly in the limit \({n \rightarrow \infty}\) we show that any translationally invariant Hamiltonian of a chain of n qubits has an eigenbasis such that almost all eigenstates have maximal entanglement between fixed-size sub-blocks of qubits and the rest of the system; in this sense these eigenstates are like those of completely general Hamiltonians (i.e., Hamiltonians with interactions of all orders between arbitrary groups of qubits). Secondly, in the limit \({n \rightarrow \infty}\) we show that any nearest-neighbour Hamiltonian of a chain of n qubits has a Gaussian density of states; thus as far as the eigenvalues are concerned the system is like a non-interacting one. The comparison applies to chains of qubits with translationally invariant nearest-neighbour interactions, but we show that it is extendible to much more general systems (both in terms of the local dimension and the geometry of interaction). Numerical evidence is also presented that suggests that the translational invariance condition may be dropped in the case of nearest-neighbour chains.
