与两等同Bell态纠缠原子相互作用光场的量子场熵

利用全量子理论,并通过数值计算,研究了初始处于Fock态的单模光场与两等同双能级纠缠原子单光子共振相互作用过程中单模光场量子场熵的时间演化特性.结果发现:当两原子初始处于第一种Bell态时,光场量子场熵的时间演化周期为π/g2(2n+1);随着初始光强的增大,光场与原子之间的量子纠缠现象减弱;特别是当时间t为演化周期的整数倍时,场－原子系统处于退纠缠状态.当两原子初始处于第二种Bell态时,光场量子场熵不随时间变化,恒为零.当两原子初始分别处于第三种和第四种Bell态时,光场量子场熵的时间演化曲线呈现不等幅周期振荡现象;并且随着初始光场光子数的增加,光场量子场熵的振荡周期逐渐增大,但振荡幅值逐渐减小.     

存在相位退相干时原子与光场相互作用的纠缠演化和保持

应用全量子理论研究了存在相位退相干时单模相干光场与一个二能级原子相互作用系统纠缠的时间演化规律;分别讨论了原子—光场耦合常数、光场的平均光子数以及失谐量的大小对场与原子纠缠的影响.结果表明:随着原子—光场耦合常数的增大和光场平均光子数的增加,系统纠缠的振荡频率都会明显增大.不存在相位退相干时,纠缠的时间演化明显受到失谐量的影响,若选取适当的失谐量,系统的纠缠可长时间保持在最大纠缠态.若考虑相位退相干的影响,则在共振情况下系统纠缠的时间演化是一个逐渐衰减的过程,且最终衰减到零;但若存在适当的失谐量,则在初始一段时间内系统的纠缠也是一个波动幅度逐渐衰减的过程,但随着时间的演化,失谐量抵消了相位退相干的影响,使系统的纠缠不再衰减到零.如果增大失谐量,纠缠在初始一段时间内波动的幅度会相应的减小,并且纠缠趋于稳定的时间也随着失谐量的增大而缩短;当失谐量适当时,系统可保持在纠缠相对较大的状态而无消纠缠态.

Interference in the Quantum Ising Model

Using the measure of interference defined in this paper, we investigate the quantum phase transition of one-dimensional Ising chains. We find that thermal fluctuations affect the interference more strongly at the critical point. We also show that the derivative of the interference with respect to the coupling parameter, A, can be depressed by the thermal fluctuation. Finally, we find that this suppression is due to multi-particle excitations.     

Chaos and quantum Fisher information in the quantum kicked top

Quantum Fisher information is related to the problem of parameter estimation.Recently,a criterion has been proposed for entanglement in multipartite systems based on quantum Fisher information.This paper studies the behaviours of quantum Fisher information in the quantum kicked top model,whose classical correspondence can be chaotic.It finds that,first,detected by quantum Fisher information,the quantum kicked top is entangled whether the system is in chaotic or in regular case.Secondly,the quantum Fisher information is larger in chaotic case than that in regular case,which means,the system is more sensitive in the chaotic case.     

Comparing the efficiencies of different detect strategies in the ping-pong protocol

The way to compare the efficiencies of different detect strategies (DSs) in the “ping-pong” protocol is studied. The trade-off between information gain and disturbance is calculated and compared for different DSs. The comparison result primely tallies with our intuitional analysis. It is shown that the analysis of this trade-off is a feasible way to compare the performances of different DSs in theory.

Entropy as a measure of the noise extent in a two-level quantum feedback controlled system

By introducing the von Neumann entropy as a measure of the extent of noise, this paper discusses the entropy evolution in a two-level quantum feedback controlled system. The results show that the feedback control can induce the reduction of the degree of noise, and different control schemes exhibit different noise controlling ability, the extent of the reduction also related with the position of the target state on the Bloch sphere. It is shown that the evolution of entropy can provide a real time noise observation and a systematic guideline to make reasonable choice of control strategy.     

Analysis of the role of von Neumann’s projection postulate in the canonical scheme of quantum teleportation

Modern development of quantum technologies based on quantum information theory (in particular, laser-based quantum-information technologies) stimulated the analysis of proposed computational, cryptographic, and teleportational schemes from the viewpoint of quantum foundations. It is evident that not all mathematical calculations performed in the complex Hilbert space can directly be realized in the physical space. Recently, analyzing the original EPR paper, we found that their argument was based on the misuse of von Neumann’s projection postulate. In contrast to von Neumann, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) applied this postulate to the observables represented by the operators with degenerate spectra. It was completely forbidden by von Neumann’s axiomatics of quantum mechanics. It is impossible to repeat the EPR considerations within the von Neumann’s framework. We analyze here quantum teleportation by taking into account von Neumann’s projection postulate. Our analysis shows that the so-called quantum teleportation is impossible within the von Neumann’s framework.

Concurrence and Quantum Discord in the Eigenstates of Chaotic and Integrable Spin Chains

There has been some substantial research about the connections between quantum chaos and quantum correlations in many-body systems. This paper discusses a specific aspect of correlations in chaotic spin models, through concurrence (CC) and quantum discord (QD). Numerical results obtained in the quantum chaos regime and in the integrable regime of spin-1/2 chains are compared. The CC and QD between nearest-neighbor pairs of spins are calculated for all energy eigenstates. The results show that, depending on whether the system is in a chaotic or integrable regime, the distribution of CC and QD are markedly different. On the other hand, in the integrable regime, states with the largest CC and QD are found in the middle of the spectrum, in the chaotic regime, the states with the strongest correlations are found at low and high energies at the edges of spectrum. Finite-size effects are analyzed, and some of the results are discussed in the light of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis.     

Steered Quantum Coherence as a Signature of Topological Quantum Phase Transitions in the Extended XY Model

In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in exploring coherence measures and correlation measures to characterize topological quantum phase transitions (TQPTs). Here, motivated by the continued push in this direction, the steered quantum coherence (SQC) in the extended XY model is studied to analyze its capability in characterizing TQPTs. It is shown that the first derivative of SQC succeeds in signaling different critical points of TQPTs. In particular, it is found that the SQC is a long-range correlation and the first derivative of SQC can always accurately identify TQPTs for different site distance.
