Accessible Information for Equally-Distant Partially-Entangled Alphabet State Resource

We have proposed a quantum system with equally-distant partially-entangled alphabet states which has the minimal mutual overlap and the highly distinguishability,these quantum states are used as the “signal states” of the quantum communication.We have also constructed the positive operator-valued measure for these “signal states” and discussed their entanglement properties and measurement of cntanglement.We calculate the accessible information for these alphabet states and show that the accessible information is closely related to the entanglement of the “signal states”:the higher the entanglement of the “signal states”,the better the accessible information of the quantum system,and the accessible information reaches its maximal value when the alphabet states have their maximal entanglement.     

Ionization Potentials and Quantum Defects of ls^2np^2p Rydberg States of Lithium Atom

Abstract In this work, ionization potentials and quantum effects of ls^2 np^2 P Rydberg states of lithium are calculated based on the calibrated quantum defect function. Energy levels and quantum defects for ls^2np^2P bound states and their adjacent continuum states are calculated with the R-matrix theory, and then the quantum defect function of the ls^2np （n ≥ 7） channel is obtained, which varies smoothly with the energy based on the quantum defect theory. The accurate quantum defect of the ls^2 7p^2P state derived from the experimental data is used to calibrate the original quantum defect function. The new function is used to calculate ionization potentials and quantum effects of ls^2np ^2P （n ≥ 7） Rydberg states. Present calculations are in agreement with recent experimental data in whole.     

Fault tolerant quantum secure direct communication with quantum encryption against collective noise

We present two novel quantum secure direct communication(QSDC) protocols over different collective-noise channels.Different from the previous QSDC schemes over collective-noise channels,which are all source-encrypting protocols,our two protocols are based on channel-encryption.In both schemes,two authorized users first share a sequence of EPR pairs as their reusable quantum key.Then they use their quantum key to encrypt and decrypt the secret message carried by the decoherence-free states over the collective-noise channel.In theory,the intrinsic efficiencies of both protocols are high since there is no need to consume any entangled states including both the quantum key and the information carriers except the ones used for eavesdropping checks.For checking eavesdropping,the two parties only need to perform two-particle measurements on the decoy states during each round.Finally,we make a security analysis of our two protocols and demonstrate that they are secure.     

A new class of quantum states generated by m-fold application of Bogoliubov＇s transformation

By applying higher powers of the Bogoliubov transformation operator b^{\dagger }=ν^*a+μ^*a^{\dagger } to the two-photon coherent states (or minimum uncertainty squeezed states) we construct a new type of quantum state which we call the generalized excited two-photon coherent states. Analytic expressions for the quantum statistical properties are derived, and through numerical computation the phase space quasi-probability distributions are found. These states can exhibit highly nonclassical behaviour depending on the degree of excitation m and other parameters. For particular values of two parameters λ and ρ, these generalized states reduce to other classes of coherent states formerly reported. Our theory thus presents a much broader approach to these types of quantum states.     

State Classification via a Random-Walk-Based Quantum Neural Network

In quantum information technology,crucial information is regularly encoded in different quantum states.To extract information,the identification of one state from the others is inevitable.However,if the states are nonorthogonal and unknown,this task will become awesomely tricky,especially when our resources are also limited.Here,we introduce the quantum stochastic neural network(QSNN),and show its capability to accomplish the binary discrimination of quantum states.After a handful of optimizing ...     

Excitation Energies of 1s^2 ns （6 ≤ n ≤ 9） States for Lithium-Like Systems from Z = 11 to 20

The non-relativistic energies of 1s^2 ns (6 ≤ n ≤ 9) states for the lithium-like systems from Z = 11 to 20 are calculated by using a full-core-plus-correlation (FCPC) method. The relativistic and mass-polarization effects on the energy are calculated by the first-order perturbation corrections. The correction from the quantumelectrodynamics effect is also included using effective nuclear charge. Based on these results and the quantum defect theory, the quantum defects of 1s^2ns series for these ions, as a function of energy, are determined. The comparisons between the ionization potentials for 1s^2ns states (6 ≤ n ≤ 9) obtained by the FCPC method and the semi-empirical method are carried out. The results show that their agreement is very well and the energies of all discrete states (n ≥ 10) below the ionization threshold of this series for the ions can be predicted by using their quantum defects.     

Tripartite states Bell-nonlocality sudden death in a spin environment with multisite interaction

This paper demonstrates that multipartite Bell-inequality violations can be fully destroyed in a finite time in three-qubit states coupled to a general XY spin-chain with a three-site interaction environment.The Mermin-Ardehali-Belinksii-Klyshko inequality is used to detect the degree of nonlocality,as measured by the extent of their violations.The effects of system-environment couplings,the size of degrees of freedom of the environment and the strength of the three-site interaction on the Bell-inequality violations are given.The results indicate that the Bell-inequality violations of the tripartite states will be completely destroyed by decoherence under certain conditions for the GHZ state.The decoherence-free subspaces of our model are identified and the entanglement of quantum states is also discussed.     

Photon-added and photon-subtracted displaced Fock states and their non-classical properties

A new kind of quantum optical state, photon-added and -subtracted displaced Fock states, is introduced by applying the inverse of bosonic creation and annihilation operators to displaced Fock states. The quantum statistical properties of these states are investigated by numerical methods. Numerical results indicate that these states reveal some interesting non-classical properties, such as anti-bunching effects, sub-Poisson distributions and negativities of their Wigner functions.     

Quantum phase distribution and the number—phase Wigner function of the generalized squeezed vacuum states associated with solvable quantum systems

The quantum phase properties of the generalized squeezed vacuum states associated with solvable quantum systems are studied by using the Pegg-Barnett formalism.Then,two nonclassical features,i.e.,squeezing in the number and phase operators,as well as the number-phase Wigner function of the generalized squeezed states are investigated.Due to some actual physical situations,the present approach is applied to two classes of generalized squeezed states:solvable quantum systems with discrete spectra and nonlinear squeezed states with particular nonlinear functions.Finally,the time evolution of the nonclassical properties of the considered systems has been numerically investigated.     

Dynamics of dark-bright vector solitons in a birefringent fiber

Coupled dark-bright vector solitons are considered in a birefringent fiber,and their dynamics are studied by the variational approach.The stationary states are analyzed,and it is found that their intensity distribution depends strictly on the ratio of the group-velocity delay strength to the effective total energy. Finally,the propagation of the coupled dark-bright vector solitons is investigated by the numerical method.     

Gaussification and entanglement distillation of continuous-variable systems: a unifying picture

Distillation of entanglement using only Gaussian operations is an important primitive in quantum communication, quantum repeater architectures, and distributed quantum computing. Existing distillation protocols for continuous degrees of freedom are only known to converge to a Gaussian state when measurements yield precisely the vacuum outcome. In sharp contrast, non-Gaussian states can be deterministically converted into Gaussian states while preserving their second moments, albeit by usually reducing their degree of entanglement. In this work-based on a novel instance of a noncommutative central limit theorem-we introduce a picture general enough to encompass the known protocols leading to Gaussian states, and new classes of protocols including multipartite distillation. This gives the experimental option of balancing the merits of success probability against entanglement produced.     

Experimental estimate of a classicality witness via a single measurement

The perception that quantum correlations can still appear in separable states has opened exciting new possibilities regarding their use as a resource in quantum information science. Quantifying such quantum correlations involves the complete knowledge of the system's state and numerical optimization procedures. Thus, it is natural to seek methods involving fewer measurements that indicate the nature of the correlations in a system. Here we propose a classicality witness that can be accurately estimated via statistics from a single measurement and perform an experiment to explore the utility of this witness for quantum states with different types of correlations.     

Pairwise Quantum Correlations for Superpositions of Dicke States

Pairwise correlation is really an important property for multi-qubit states. For the two-qubit X states extracted from Dicke states and their superposition states, we obtain a compact expression of the quantum discord by numerical check. We then apply the expression to discuss the quantum correlation of the reduced two-qubit states of Dicke states and their superpositions, and the results are compared with those obtained by entanglement of formation, which is a quantum entanglement measure.     

Exchange-induced splitting of radiative exciton levels in a single quantum wire

We report on polarization-resolved micro-photoluminescence experiments performed on a single GaAs/GaAlAs V-shaped quantum wire. At low temperature the micro-photoluminescence spectra are composed of sharp peaks corresponding to excitons localized in naturally formed quantum boxes. We observed splittings of the radiative doublet of these exciton levels into two linearly polarized states due to the exchange interaction. The exchange splittings are of the order of 100 μeV. A theoretical model of the exchange interaction on localized states in quantum wires is developed. It shows that the exchange splitting is characteristic of the uniaxial anisotropy of the localized states and thus related to their extension along the wire axis. The experimental results are discussed within the frame of this model.     

Correlations for a Family of Two-Ququart Quantum States

In this paper, a quantum correlations analytical treatment for a family of two-ququart states are presented. For this purpose, a family of two-ququart quantum states, as well as a set of von Neumann measurements are proposed. A quantum discord analytical treatment is derived for this family of two-ququart states. Finally, the classical mutual information, the entanglement of formation and quantum discord are illustrated in this family of two-ququart quantum states.

     

The q-Deformation of the Superoscillators and Their q-Supercoherent States

We discuss the superoscillators in thc supersymmetric quantum systems, and give the solution to the system. By making use of the annihilation and creation operators and their q-deformed operators, we also give the q-deformed quantum harmonic oscillator model in the supersymmetric quantum systems. The q-supercoherent states associated with the q-deformed supersymmetric quantum harmonic oscillators are constructed explicitly, and their properties are investigated. The uncertainty relations for q-supercoherent states are discussed as well.     

Energy spectra and lifetimes of quasiparticles in an open quantum dot surrounded by identical barriers in a cylindrical quantum wire

A theory of quasi-stationary states and lifetimes of electrons, holes, and excitons in an open cylindrical semiconductor quantum wire containing a quantum dot surrounded by two identical antidots (with potential barriers of finite height) is developed using the scattering matrix method. The energy spectra and lifetimes of electrons, holes, and excitons in a β-HgS/β-CdS/β-HgS/β-CdS/β-HgS nanoheterosystem are calculated and analyzed as functions of the geometric parameters of the quantum dot involved. It is demonstrated that an increase in the height of the quantum dot leads to a decrease in the energy of quasi-stationary exciton states of the Breit-Wigner type and to an increase in their lifetimes. The lifetime of exciton states is long enough for these states to be observed in the experiment.     

Undetermined states: how to find them and their applications

We investigate the undetermined sets consisting of two-level, multi-partite pure quantum states, whose reduced density matrices give absolutely no information of their original states. Two approached of finding these quantum states are proposed. One is to establish the relation between codewords of the stabilizer quantum error correction codes (SQECCs) and the undetermined states. The other is to study the local complementation rules of the graph states. As an application, the undetermined states can be exploited in the quantum secret sharing scheme. The security is guaranteed by their undetermineness.
