通过设计量子库来调控量子比特间的Bell非定域性研究

量子系统间的Bell非定域性是一种比量子纠缠更为严格的量子关联,它在刻画多体量子关联有着不可或缺的作用.类似于量子纠缠,在开放两量子比特和三量子比特系统中的Bell非定域性可能会出现猝死现象.本文建议了一个可供选择的方案即在热库环境中通过增加辅助粒子来调控两量子比特和三量子比特间的Bell非定域性动力学.研究发现：通过调节辅助粒子数目,不仅两量子比特和三量子比特系统的Bell非定域性可以避免猝死现象的发生,而且在长时间极限下它能维持在一个较高水平.论文得到的结果将对多体量子系统间量子关联的调控和避免猝死现象等相关研究有积极的指导意义.

Constraint Dynamics and Tracking Control to Coherence of a Thermal Dissipative Qubit

Constraint dynamics and tracking control strategy to stabilize the coherence of a decoherent system is applied to a dissipative qubit system at a finite temperature. By using a control field dependent on the dynamical state of the qubit via the constraint equations, we show that the coherence of the qubit can be preserved within a finite time duration by the feedback effect of the qubit system. It is also shown that the temperature plays a negative role to this coherence control strategy.

Quantum leakage of collective excitations of atomic ensemble induced by spatial motion

We generalize the conception of quantum leakage for the atomic collective excitation states. By making use of the atomic coherence state approach, we study the influence of the atomic spatial motion on the symmetric collective states of 2-level atomic ensemble due to inhomogeneous coupling. In the macroscopic limit, we analyze the quantum decoherence of the collective atomic state by calculating the quantum leakage for a very large ensemble at a finite temperature. Our investigations show that the fidelity of the atomic system will not be good in the case of atom numberN→∞. Therefore, quantum leakage is an inevitable problem in using the atomic ensemble as a quantum information memory. The detailed calculations shed theoretical light on quantum processing using atomic ensemble collective qubit.     

Circuit design based manipulation of decoherence and disentanglement

In the process of quantum information transport, environment inevitably causes decoherence and disentanglement. It is effective to constitute a hybrid qubit system by taking advantages of different types of qubits to overcome the effects of decoherence and achieve quantum information transport. We find that energy relaxation exists in the process of information exchange bewteen the hybrid qubits. Combining this kind of energy relaxation with the decoherence effects from external environment, quantum information transport of non-disentangled effect can be achieved in phase damping channel if the exchange decay rate and decoherence time satisfy certain constraint relations. We discuss the scheme to achieve the constraint relations through combining specific quantum circuits.

Measurements of a periodically driving qubit using a quantum point contact

Using the method developed by Gurvitz [1996 Phys. Rev. B 53 15932], we obtained the Bloch-type rate equations describing the entire system of a periodically driving qubit monitored by a quantum point contact detector. The results demonstrate that the isolated qubit can be kept in its initial state with a large driving frequency due to more difficult electron tunneling in qubit, and this initial state can always be measured at a small measurement-induced decoherence rate during a short time.     

Transferring quantum entangled states between multiple single-photon-state qubits and coherent-state qubits in circuit QED

We present a way to transfer maximally- or partially-entangled states of n single-photon-state (SPS) qubits onto ncoherent-state (CS) qubits, by employing 2nmicrowave cavities coupled to a superconducting flux qutrit. The two logic states of a SPS qubit here are represented by the vacuum state and the single-photon state of a cavity, while the two logic states of a CS qubit are encoded with two coherent states of a cavity. Because of using only one superconducting qutrit as the coupler, the circuit architecture is significantly simplified. The operation time for the state transfer does not increase with the increasing of the number of qubits. When the dissipation of the system is negligible, the quantum state can be transferred in a deterministic way since no measurement is required. Furthermore, the higher-energy intermediate level of the coupler qutrit is not excited during the entire operation and thus decoherence from the qutrit is greatly suppressed. As a specific example, we numerically demonstrate that the high-fidelity transfer of a Bell state of two SPS qubits onto two CS qubits is achievable within the present-day circuit QED technology. Finally, it is worthy to note that when the dissipation is negligible, entangled states of n CS qubits can be transferred back onto n SPS qubits by performing reverse operations. This proposal is quite general and can be extended to accomplish the same task, by employing a natural or artificial atom to couple 2nmicrowave or optical cavities.     

Generation of Bell states via Lyapunov control on a two-qubit system with an anisotropic XY Heisenberg interaction

We demonstrate that an arbitrary Bell state can be achieved in a two qubit anisotropic Heisenberg XY chain via Lyapunov control. During the whole process, we only need to apply an external field along a given direction to a single qubit. This control strategy is effective for all initial states in the four-dimensional Hilbert space where the target state is asymptotically stable. The effects of imperfections on the fidelity for the target state such as Gaussian leakage of local control and localized dephasi...
