Coherent Preservation of Two-Qubit Quantum Entanglement in the Strong Coupling Region

The entanglement of two qubits is investigated in the range of their ultra-strongly coupling with a quantum oscillator. The two qubits are initially in four Bell states and they are under the control mechanism of the coherent state of the quantum oscillator. There are four parameters: the average number of the coherent state, the ultra-strong coupling strength, the ratio of two frequencies of qubit and oscillator, and the inter-interaction coupling of the two qubits in the mechanism, and they all are influential parameters on the entanglement of the two qubits. One Bell state |0>is easyily kept and is trivial case. The novel results show that there is one state |I₀> among the other three Bell states which the entanglement of the two qubits could be almost completely preserved. The possibility is made into reality by the appropriate choice of the four influential parameters. We give two different schemes to choose the respective parameters to maintain the entanglment of |I₀> almost undiminished. The results will be useful for the quantum information process.     

Linearly-Independent Quantum States Can Be Cloned by a Unitary-Reduct ion Operation

The famous quantum no-cloning theorem [Nature 299(1952)802] forbids replication of an arbitrary unknown quantum state. But it leaves open the follorc-ing question: If the state is not completely arbitrary, but secretly chosen from a certain set $ = {|Ψ₁>,| Ψ₂>,...,|Ψ_n>}, whether is the cloning possible? It is proved that the states from the set $ = {|Ψ₁>,| Ψ₂>,...,|Ψ_n>} can be faithfully cloned by a general unitary-reduction operation in a probabilistic fashion if and only if |Ψ₁>,| Ψ₂>,... and |Ψ_n> are linearly-independent.     

基于量子相干性的四体贝尔不等式构建

贝尔不等式在定域性和实在性的双重假设下,对于被分隔的粒子同时被测量时其结果的可能关联程度建立了一个严格的限制,违反贝尔不等式确保量子态存在纠缠.本文利用量子相干性的l1和相对熵测度构建了四体量子贝尔不等式,发现一般实系数Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger纯态和簇纯态总是违反四体相对熵相干性测度贝尔不等式,因此违反四体相对熵相干性测度贝尔不等式的这些态是纠缠态.     

Preparation of multi-photon Fock states and quantum entanglement properties in circuit QED

We demonstrate the controllable generation of multi-photon Fock states in circuit quantum electrodynamics （circuit QED）. The external bias flux regulated by a counter can effectively adjust the bias time on each superconducting flux qubit so that each flux qubit can pass in turn through the circuit cavity and thereby avoid the effect of decoherence. We further investigate the quantum correlation dynamics of coupling superconducting qubits in a Fock state. The results reveal that the lower the photon number of the light field in the number state, the stronger the interaction between qubits is, then the more beneficial to maintaining entanglement between qubits it will be.     

Degree of Entanglement and Violation of Bell Inequality by Two-Spin-1/2 States

Bell inequality is violated by the quantum mechanical predictions made from an entangled state of the composite system. In this paper we examine this inequality and entanglement measures in the construction of the coherent states for two-qubit pure and mixed states. we find a link to some entanglement measures through some new parameters (amplitudes of coherent states). Conditions for maximal entanglement and separability are then established for both pure and mixed states. Finally, we analyze and compare the violation of Bell inequality for a class of mixed states with the degree of
entanglement by applying the formalism of Horodecki et al.     

Quantum teleportation using entangled 3-qubit states and the ‘magic bases’

We study quantum teleportation of single qubit information state using 3-qubit general entangled states. We propose a set of 8 GHZ-like states which gives (i) standard quantum teleportation (SQT) involving two parties and 3-qubit Bell state measurement (BSM) and (ii) controlled quantum teleportation (CQT) involving three parties, 2-qubit BSM and an independent measurement on one qubit. Both are obtained with perfect success and fidelity and with no restriction on destinations (receiver) of any of the three entangled qubits. For SQT, for each designated one qubit which is one of a pair going to Alice, we obtain a magic basis containing eight basis states. The eight basis states can be put in two groups of four, such that states of one group are identical with the corresponding GHZ-like states and states of the other differ from the corresponding GHZ-like states by the same phase factor. These basis states can be put in two different groups of four-states each, such that if any entangled state is a superposition of these with coefficients of each group having the same phase, perfect SQT results. Also, for perfect CQT, with each set of given destinations of entangled qubits, we find a different magic basis. If no restriction on destinations of any entangled qubit exists, three magic semi-bases, each with four basis states, are obtained, which lead to perfect SQT. For perfect CQT, with no restriction on entangled qubits, we find four magic quarter-bases, each having two basis states. This gives perfect SQT also. We also obtain expressions for co-concurrences and conditional concurrences.     

Quantum entanglement and quantum nonlocality for N-photon entangled states

Quantum entanglement and quantum nonlocality of N-photon entangled states |\psi_{N m}\rangle =C_m[\cos\gamma|N-m\rangle₁|m\rangle₂ +\e^{\i\θ_m}\sin\gamma|m\rangle₁|N-m\rangle₂] and their superpositions are studied. We point out that the relative phase θ_m affects the quantum nonlocality but not the quantum entanglement for the state |\psi_{N m}\rangle. We show that quantum nonlocality can be controlled and manipulated by adjusting the state parameters of |\psi_{N m}\rangle, superposition coefficients, and the azimuthal angles of the Bell operator. We also show that the violation of the Bell inequality can reach its maximal value under certain conditions. It is found that quantum superpositions based on |\psi_{N m}\rangle can increase the amount of entanglement, and give more ways to reach the maximal violation of the Bell inequality.     

通过纠缠交换实现N粒子任意态的概率传态

量子隐形传态的杰出安全特性使其在未来的通讯领域充满潜力.量子力学的不确定性原理和不可克隆定理禁止对量子态进行直接复制,因此,量子隐形传态将量子态划分为经典和量子两部分,信息分别经由经典和量子通道从发送者Alice传递给远方的接收者Bob,根据这两种信息,Bob实行相应操作就可以以一定的几率重建初始传送态.利用一般意义的隐形传态方案,提出一种简便的新方法实现了一个N粒子任意态的概率传态.方法采用N个非最大纠缠的三粒子GHZ态作为量子通道,避免了引入额外的辅助粒子.为了实现传态,Alice将所有粒子分成N份,对第i份的粒子对(i,x_i)实行Bell测量并将结果通过经典通道通知Bob,Bob对粒子(y_i,z_i)进行相应的操作就可以完成第i个粒子信息的传送.当完成N次相似的重复操作后,Bob就可以准确地重建初始传送态.文中以Bell态测量为基本手段,重复的操作同时也降低了实验难度,作为一个特例,文中给出了一个两粒子任意态的传态方案.     

Generation of Entanglement Between Two Noninteracting Qubits via Interaction with Nonclassical Radiation Field

We study the interaction between a single-mode quantized field and a quantum system composed of two qubits. We suppose that two qubits initially be prepared in the mixed and separable state, and study how entanglement between two qubits arises in the course of evolution according to the Jaynes-Cummings type interaction with nonclassical radiation field. We also investigate the relation between entanglement and purity of qubit subsystem. We show that different photon statistics have different effects on the dynamical behavior of the qubit subsystem. When the qubits are initially prepared in the maximally mixed and separable state, for coherent state field we cannot find entanglement between two qubits; for squeezed state field entanglement between two qubits exists in several short period of time; for even and odd coherent state fields of large photon number, the dynamical behavior of the entanglement between two qubits shows collapse and revival phenomenon. For odd coherent state field of small photon number, the entanglement with both qubits initially prepared in maximally mixed state can be stronger than that with both qubits initially prepared in pure states. For fields of small photon number, the entanglement strongly depends on the states they are initially prepared in. For coherent state field, and odd and even coherent state fields of large photon number, the entanglement only depends on the purity of the initial state of qubit subsystem. We also show that during the evolution the unentangled state may be purer than the entangled state, and the maximum degree of entanglement may not occur at the time when the qubit subsystem is in the purist state.

A Phenomenological Analysis of Higher Fock State Contributions to the χCJ Decays

We present a phenomenological analysis of higher Fock state contributions to the χ_CJ decays by using the recent BES experimental data.It is found that the higher Fock state |cc)8g〉 makes an important contribution to the inclusive and exclusive processes with respect to that from the valence Fock state |cc〉 of the χ_CJ and some constraints of these contributions are obtained for the χ_co and χ_c2 states in order to fit the experimental data.

Three qubits in a symmetric environment: Dissipatively generated asymptotic entanglement

We study the asymptotic entanglement of three identical qubits under the action of a Markovian open system dynamics that does not distinguish them. We show that by adding a completely depolarized qubit to a special class of two-qubit states, by letting them reach the asymptotic state and by finally eliminating the added qubit, can provide more entanglement than by direct immersion of the two qubits within the same environment.     

Probing Bell Diagonal State without Disturbing Its Correlations

In this paper, we propose a very simple scheme to probe the quantum and classical correlation including quantum entanglement of Bell diagonal state. In the probing process, the correlation of Bell diagonal state, even the state itself, is not disturbed, which means a non-destructive probing. In addition, our scheme can be performed even though the two qubits of the Bell diagonal state are separate in space.

Quantum Information in the Frame of Coherent States Representation

In this paper we have showed that the qubit can be expressed through the coherent states. Consequently, a message, i.e. a sequence of qubits, is expressed as a tensor product of coherent states. In the quantum information theory and practice, only the code and key message are expressed as a sequence of qubits, i.e. through a quantum channel, the properly information will be transmitted by using a classical channel. Even if the most used coherent states in the quantum information theory are the coherent states of the harmonic oscillator (particularly, expressing by them the Schrödinger “cat states” and the Bell states), several authors have been demonstrated that other kind of coherent states may be used in quantum information theory. For the ensembles of qubits, we must use the density operator, in order to describe the informational content of the ensemble. The diagonal representation of the density operator, in the coherent state representation, is also useful to examine the entanglement of the states.

THE CONVERSION OF GLUONS INTO QUARKS AND THE MULTIQUARK STATES

The rate for the conversion of the gluon into a color octet quark pair which subsequently forms a multiquark state with another quark pair or a gluon is discussed. The static potential in a [(QQ)₈(qq)_8,1] state where Q=c,b and q=u, d is studied in the MIT bag model. It is shown that the repulsive Coulomb force between Q and Q is dominant at small QQ separations, which would significantly suppress the QQ wave function at the origin. For the charm quark (Q=c) the ratio of |Ψ(O)|² for the ordinary (QQ)₁ to that for the(QQ)₈ in the [(QQ)₈(qq)_8,1] state is estinated to be 2-5. Therefore the assumption |Ψ₈(O)|²=|Ψ₁(O)|² would lead to an overestimation for the rate of g*→QQ and it is necessary to take the suppression effect of the repulsive Coulomb force into consideration.     

Study of the XYZ states at the BESIII

With its unique data samples at energies of 3.8–4.6 GeV, the BESIII experiment made a significant contribution to the study of charmonium and charmonium-like states, i.e., the XYZ states.We review the results for observations of the Z_c(3900) and Z_c(4020) states, the X(3872) in e⁺e⁻ annihilation, and charmonium ψ(1³D₂) state, as well as measurements of the cross-sections of ωχ_cJ and ηJ/ψ, and the search for e⁺e⁻→ γχ_cJ and γY (4140). We also present data from BESIII that may further strengthen the study of the XYZ and conventional charmonium states, and discuss perspectives on future experiments.
