Interaction of a Three-Level Atom and Field in a Squeezed Vacuum State with Added Photons: Quantum Phase and Nonclassical Properties

We present a detail study of the evolution of nonlocal correlations of an interacting quantum system comprising a three-level atom and a field mode initially prepared in a squeezed vacuum state with added photons. We compare the dynamical behavior of the quantum phase and entanglement by varying the number of photons added to the squeezed vacuum state. Furthermore, we examine the influence of the added-photon number and the squeeze parameter on the dynamical behavior of entanglement, quantum phase, and nonclassical properties of the field. Moreover, we explore the link between the quantum phase and the nonlocal correlation. Finally, we introduce an effective method to generate and maintain a high level of entanglement for this quantum system based on precise parameter ranges.     

Remote interactions between two d-dimensional distributed quantum systems： nonlocal generalized quantum control-NOT gate and entanglement swapping

We present a systematic simple method to implement a generalized quantum control-NOT （CNOT） gate on two d-dimensional distributed systems. First, we show how the nonlocal generalized quantum CNOT gate can be implemented with unity fidelity and unity probability by using a maximally entangled pair of qudits as a quantum channel. We also put forward a scheme for probabilistically implementing the nonlocal operation with unity fidelity by employing a partially entangled qudit pair as a quantum channel. Analysis of the scheme indicates that the use of partially entangled quantum channel for implementing the nonlocal generalized quantum CNOT gate leads to the problem of ＇the general optimal information extraction＇. We also point out that the nonlocal generalized quantum CNOT gate can be used in the entanglement swapping between particles belonging to distant users in a communication network and distributed quantum computer.[第一段]     

Generation of Different Classes of Multipartite Entanglement Using Cavity-QED

Using a system of cavity quantum electrodynamics(QED) we present two schemes for multipartite entanglement generation. In the first scheme, a three-level atom is interacting with three cavities successively. In the second one, two three-level atoms are interacted with a coherent optical cavity. These protocols allow us to generate the six classes of tripartite entanglement(GHZ, W, A-B-C, AB-C, C-AB, and B-AC class states) by controling the interaction time between atoms and cavities. Moreover, they allow us to generate entanglement between the cavity fields degrees of freedom(from the first scheme), and a mixed entanglement between the cavity field degrees of freedom and the atomic degrees of freedom.     

Quantum Entanglement of Two Flux Qubits Induced by an Auxiliary SQUID

We revisit a theoretical scheme to create quantum entanglement of two three-level superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) with the help of an auxiliary SQUID. In this scenario, two three-level systems are coupled to a quantized cavity field and a classical external field and thus form dark states. The quantum entanglement can be produced by a quantum measurement on the auxiliary SQUID. Our investigation emphasizes the quantum effect of the auxiliary SQUID. For the experimental feasibility and accessibility of the scheme, we calculate the time evolution of the whole system including the auxiliary SQUID. To ensure the efficiency of generating quantum entanglement, relations between the measurement time and dominate parameters of the system are analyzed according to detailed calculations.     

Entanglement transfer via two arrays of coupled resonator waveguides

We propose a scheme for transferring entanglement through two independent arrays of coupled resonator waveguides, where a three-level atom is embedded in each resonator. We investigate the entanglement dynamics of the transferred state. The influence of initial states and applied lasers on the entanglement sudden death phenomenon is also discussed. Furthermore, we study the dynamics of pairwise quantum correlations measured by the quantum discord.

Generation of an Entangled State of Two Three-Level Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices in Cavity

We propose a scheme for generating a maximally entangled state of two three-level superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) by using a quantized cavity field and classical microwave pluses in cavity. In this scheme, no quantum information will be transferred from the SQUIDs to the cavity since the cavity field is only virtually excited. Thus, the cavity decay is suppressed during the entanglement generation.     

Efficient long-distance quantum communication using microtoroidal resonators

Based on the interaction between a three-level system and a microtoroidal resonator, we present a scheme for long-distance quantum communication in which entanglement generation with near 0.5 success probability and swaps can be implemented by accurate state detection via measuring about 100 photons. With this scheme the average time of successful entanglement distribution over 2500 km with high fidelity can be decreased to only about 30 ms.     

Implementing a Nonlocal Toffoli Gate Using Partially Entangled Qubit Pairs

We investigate the local implementation of a nonlocal quantum Toffoli gate via partially entangled states. Firstly, we show how the nonlocal Toffoli gate can be implemented with unit fidelity and a certain probability by employing two partially entangled qubit pairs as quantum channels. The quantum circuit that does this proposed implementation is built entirely of local single-level and two-level gates if the target node harness a three-level qudit as a catalyser. This enables the construction of this key nonlocal quantum gate with existing technology. Then, we put forward a scheme to realize deterministic and exact implementation of this nonlocal gate via more partially entangled pairs. In this scheme, the control nodes’ local positive operator valued measurements (POVMs) lies at the heart. We construct the required POVMs. The fact that the deterministic and exact implementation of a nonlocal multi-qubit gate could be realized by using partially entangled qubit pairs and comparatively fewer resources cost is notable.     

Entanglement concentration and teleportation of multipartite entangled states in an ion trap

We propose an effective scheme for the entanglement concentration of a four-particle state via entanglement swapping in an ion trap. Taking the maximally entangled state after concentration as a quantum channel, we can faithfully and determinatively teleport quantum entangled states from Alice to Bob without the joint Bell-state measurement. In the process of constructing the quantum channel, we adopt entanglement swapping to avoid the decrease of entanglement during the distribution of particles. Thus our scheme provides a new prospect for quantum teleportation over a longer distance. Furthermore, the success probability of our scheme is 1.0.     

A Singlet State Generated with SQUIDs in Cavity QED

We propose a scheme to generate a three-qubit three-level singlet state in cavity QED, by placing three Λ-type SQUIDs in a single mode cavity. In this scheme, we make use of the interaction between the SQUIDs and cavity filed, and the classical pulses. The cavity fields are in vacuum state during the whole operation processes of creating the entanglement, and there is no quantum information transformation between the SQUIDs and cavity fields. Because of the advantage of the SQUID-cavity system, the quality factor of the cavity is greatly relaxed.     

Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing of Quantum States Using Entanglement States

A multi-partite-controlled quantum secret sharing scheme using several non-orthogonal entanglement states is presented with unconditional security. In this scheme, the participants share the secret quantum state by exchanging the secret polarization angles of the disordered travel particles. The security of the secret quantum state is also guaranteed by the non-orthogonal multi-partite-controlled entanglement states, the participants＇ secret polarizations, and the disorder of the travelling particles. Moreover, the present scheme is secure against the particle-number splitting attack and the intercept-and-resend attack. It may be still secure even if the distributed quantum state is embedded in a not-so-weak coherent-state pulse.     

Establishment of multi-particle entanglement between particles located at different nodes of a communication network

A scheme is presented for establishing the entanglement of many distant particles. The scheme is based on the measurement of Bell basis vectors. The possible application of the entanglement of many distant particles in quantum communication is pointed out.     

Nonlocal Correlations of Moving Three-level Atoms in Photon-added Squeezed Thermal States

We investigate nonlocal correlations between a three-level atom and the optical field initially being in the photon-added squeezed thermal state. We examine the effect of the squeezing parameter and the number of added photons to the squeezed thermal field on the entanglement during the time evolution. We show that the entanglement can be enhanced by increasing the number of added photons and the squeezing parameter for moving and nonmoving three-level atoms. We present a useful way to generate and restrain a large amount of entanglement by increasing the number of added photons when the atomic motion is described by the atomic velocity.     

A scheme of quantum repeaters with single atom and cavity-QED

To implement long-distance quantum communication, quantum repeaters have been proposed. The distribution and storage of quantum entanglement are essential to implement quantum repeaters. Here, we propose a new quantum repeaters protocol which is based on single atom-cavity QED. We use simple long-life two-level atoms to store quantum entanglement unlike three-level atoms which are commonly used in other quantum repeaters proposals. The property of long life-time (T₁) and transverse decay time (T₂) between excited level and ground level, such as rare-earth atoms, may store quantum entanglement as long as possible. Modulations of cavity mode and rate of coupling between cavity mode and output mode are also key steps to our scheme. And the efficiency of our protocol is analyzed by quantum trajectory theory.
