Science as social history

Quantum states of light, such as squeezed states or entangled states, can be used to make measurements (metrology), produce images, and sense objects with a precision that far exceeds what is possible classically, and also exceeds what was once thought to be possible quantum mechanically. The primary idea is to exploit quantum effects to beat the shot-noise limit in metrology and the Rayleigh diffraction limit in imaging and sensing. Quantum optical metrology has received a boost in recent years with an influx of ideas from the rapidly evolving field of optical quantum information processing. Both areas of research exploit the creation and manipulation of quantum-entangled states of light. We will review some of the recent theoretical and experimental advances in this exciting new field of quantum optical metrology, focusing on examples that exploit a particular two-mode entangled photon state – the High-N00N state.     

量子计算与量子模拟

量子计算和量子模拟在过去的几年里发展迅速,今后涉及多量子比特的量子计算和量子模拟将是一个发展的重点.本文回顾了该领域的主要进展,包括量子多体模拟、量子计算、量子计算模拟器、量子计算云平台、量子软件等内容,其中量子多体模拟又涵盖量子多体动力学、时间晶体及多体局域化、量子统计和量子化学等的模拟.这些研究方向的回顾是基于对现阶段量子计算和量子模拟研究特点的考虑,即量子比特数处于中等规模而量子操控精度还不具有大规模逻辑门实现的能力,研究处于基础科研和实用化的过渡阶段,因此综述的内容主要还是希望管窥今后的发展.     

Non-commutative Low-dimension Spaces and Superspaces Associated with Contracted Quantum Groups and Supergroups

Quantum planes, which correspond to all one-parameter solutions of Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation (QYBE) for the two-dimensional case of GL-groups, are summarized and their geometrical interpretations are given. It is shown that the quantum dual plane is associated with an exotic solution of QYBE and the well-known quantum h-plane may be regarded as the quantum analog of the flag (or fiber) plane. Contractions of the quantum supergroup G L _q (12) and corresponding quantum superspace C _q (12) are considered in Cartesian basis. The contracted quantum superspace C _h (12);) is interpreted as the non-commutative analog of the superspace with the fiber odd part.     

量子关联简介

量子纠缠作为一种非局域的关联,是一种重要的资源而被广泛应用于量子信息处理。然而,最近的研究结果发现,可分态中也可以存在非经典的关联,量子纠缠只是量子关联的一部分;非纠缠的量子关联在一些量子通信和量子计算任务中扮演着重要的角色。文章简要综述了量子关联的基本概念,描述了几种常见的量子关联度量,并介绍了量子关联在量子信息处理中的作用以及一些最新动态。     

Alternative New Notation for Quantum Information Theory

The notation [Li, Song, and Luo (2002) Physics Letters A 297, 121] has been generalized to quantum information theory. By this notation,we present three useful criteria for bipartite entanglement, a formula for general quantum swapping, and a formula for quantum teleportation of bipartite state by two EPR pairs.     

基于六光子量子避错码的量子密钥分发方案

量子信道中不可避免存在的噪声将扭曲被传输的信息,对通信造成危害。目前克服量子信道噪声的较好方案是量子避错码（QEAC）。将量子避错码思想用于量子密钥分发,能有效克服信道中的噪声,且无需复杂的系统。用六光子构造了量子避错码,提出了一种丛于六光子避错码的量子密钥分发（QDK）方案。以提高量子密钥分发的量子比特效率和安全性为前提,对六光子避错码的所有可能态进行组合,得到一种六光子避错码的最优组合方法,可将两比特信息编码在一个态中,根据测肇结果和分组信息进行解码,得到正确信息的平均概率为7／16。与最近的基于四光子避错码的克服量子信道噪声的量子密钥分发方案相比,该方案的量子比特效率提高了16．67％,密钥分发安全性足它的3．5倍。

Quantum Key Distribution Protocol Optimization

Quantum key distribution is a practically implementable cryptographic communication methodology from the hardware and software point of view. It is an information‐theoretic secure method for transmitting keys to remote partners practicing quantum communication. After examining various protocols from the most basic on, BBM92, DPSK, SARG04 and MDI (Measurement Device Independent) protocols are described in view of targeting the longest possible communication distance with the highest secret key bitrate. How any protocol can be optimized with respect to distance is discussed by analyzing the various steps impacting hardware and software that are developed, starting from the underlying assumptions proper to every protocol and ending with the corresponding performance in each case.     

Measurement-Based Interference in Quantum Computation

The interference has been measured by the visibility in two-level systems,which,however,does not work for multi-level systems.We generalize a measure of the interference based on decoherence process,consistent with the visibility in qubit systems.By taking cluster states as examples,we show in the one-way quantum computation that the gate fidelity is proportional to the interference of the measured qubit and is inversely proportional to the interference of all register qubits.We also find that the interference increases with the number of the computing steps.So we conjecture that the interference may be the source of the speedup of the one-way quantum computation.     

Noncommutative space-time models

The FRT quantum Euclidean spaces O _q ^N are formulated in terms of Cartesian generators. The quantum analogs of N-dimensional Cayley-Klein spaces are obtained by contractions and analytical continuations. Noncommutative constant-curvature spaces are introduced as spheres in the quantum Cayley-Klein spaces. For N = 5 part of them is interpreted as the noncommutative analogs of (1+3) space-time models. As a result the quantum (anti) de Sitter, Minkowski, Newton, Galilei kinematics with the fundamental length and the fundamental time are suggested. Presented at the International Colloquium “Integrable Systems and Quantum Symmetries”, Prague, 16–18 June 2005.

Security proof of counterfactual quantum cryptography against general intercept-resend attacks and its vulnerability

Counterfactual quantum cryptography,recently proposed by Noh,is featured with no transmission of signal particles.This exhibits evident security advantages,such as its immunity to the well-known photon-number-splitting attack.In this paper,the theoretical security of counterfactual quantum cryptography protocol against the general interceptresend attacks is proved by bounding the information of an eavesdropper Eve more tightly than in Yin’s proposal [Phys.Rev.A 82 042335(2010)].It is also shown that practical counterfactual quantum cryptography implementations may be vulnerable when equipped with imperfect apparatuses,by proving that a negative key rate can be achieved when Eve launches a time-shift attack based on imperfect detector efficiency.     

Grammar Theory Based on Quantum Logic

Motivated by Ying' work on automata theory based on quantum logic (Ying, M. S. (2000). International Journal of Therotical Physics, 39(4): 985–996; 39(11): 2545–2557) and inspired by the close relationship between the automata theory and the theory of formal grammars, we have established a basic framework of grammar theory on quantum logic and shown that the set of l-valued quantum regular languages generated by l-valued quantum regular grammars coincides with the set of l-valued quantum languages recognized by l-valued quantum automata.

Quantum machines

We discuss quantum information processing machines. We start with single purpose machines that either redistribute quantum information or identify quantum states. We then move on to machines that can perform a number of functions, with the function they perform being determined by a program, which is itself a quantum state. Examples of both deterministic and probabilistic programmable machines are given, and we conclude with a discussion of the utility of quantum programs.     

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.
