Photon higher-order squeezing effects of the q analogue of a single-mode field interacting with a Ξ-type three-level atom

The nonlinear theory of interaction between the q analogue of a single-mode field and a Ξ-type threelevel atom has been established. And the formal solution of the Schrodinger equation in the representation and its average number are obtained. Then, the photon squeezing effects are studied through numerical calculation. The results show that the q deformation nonlinear action has a lot of influence on the quantum coherence and quantum properties. When q approaches 1, the theory reduces to the common linear theory.     

QCD confinement and the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab

An understanding of the confinement mechanism in QCD requires a detailed mapping of the spectrum of hybrid mesons.Understanding confinement means understanding the role of gluons and it is in hybrid mesons that the gluonic degrees of freedom are manifest.High statistics searches for such states with π and p beams have resulted in some tantalizing signals.There is good reason to expect beams of photons to yield hybrid mesons with J P C quantum numbers not possible within the conventional picture of mesons as qq bound states.Meager data currently exist on the photoproduction of light quark mesons.This talk represents an overview of the available data and what has been learned.In looking toward the future,the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Laboratory represents a new initiative that will perform detailed spectroscopy of the light-quark meson spectrum.This experiment and its capabilities will be reviewed.

Graphene-like physics in optical lattices

Graphene has attracted enormous attention over the past years in condensed matter physics. The most interesting feature of graphene is that its low-energy excitations are relativistic Dirac fermions. Such feature is the origin of many topological properties in graphene-like physics. On the other hand, ultracold quantum gas trapped in an optical lattice has become a unique setting for quantum simulation of condensed matter physics. Here, we mainly review our recent work on quantum simulation of graphene-like physics with ultracold atoms trapped in a honeycomb or square optical lattice, including the simulation of Dirac fermions and quantum Hall effect with and without Landau levels. We also present the related experimental advances.     

Demonstration of Quantum Entanglement Control Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

With the two forms of the quantum entanglement control, the quantum entanglement swapping and preservation are demonstrated in a three-qubit nuclear magnetic resonance quantum computer. The pseudopure state is prepared to represent the quantum entangled states through macroscopic signals. Entanglement swapping is directly realized by a swap operation. By controlling the interactions between the system and its environment,we can preserve an initial entangled state for a longer time. The experimental results are in agreement with the experiment.

Strong violations of locality by testing Bell's inequality with improved entangled-photon systems

Bell's theorem states that quantum mechanics cannot be accounted for by any local theory. One of the examples is the existence of quantum non-locality is essentially violated by the local Bell's inequality. Therefore, the violation of Bell's inequality(BI) has been regarded as one of the robust evidences of quantum mechanics. Until now, BI has been tested by many experiments, but the maximal violation(i.e., Cirel'son limit) has never been achieved. By improving the design of entangled sources and optimizing the measurement settings, in this work we report the stronger violations of the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt(CHSH)-type Bell's inequality. The biggest value of Bell's function in our experiment reaches √to a significant one: S = 2.772 ± 0.063, approaching to the so-called Cirel'son limit in which the Bell function value is S = 22.Further improvement is possible by optimizing the entangled-photon sources.     

Temporal inequalities for sequential multi-time actions in quantum information processing

A new kind of temporal inequalities are discussed, which apply to algorithmic processes, involving a finite memory processing unit. They are an alternative to the Leggett-Grag ones, as well as to the modified ones by Brukner et al. If one considers comparison of quantum anti classical processes involving systems of finite memory （of the same capacity in both cases）, the inequalities give a clear message why we can expect quantum speed-up. In a classical process one always has clearly defined values of possible measurements, or in terms of the information processing language, if we have a sequential computations of some function depending on data arriving at each step on an algorithm, the function always has a clearly defined value. In the quantum case only the final value, after the end of the algorithm, is defined. All intermediate values, in agreement with Bohr＇s complementarity, cannot be ascribed a definite value.     

Photon Statistics of Single-Photon Quantum States in Real Single Photon Detection

Single photon detection (SPD) with high quantum efficiency has been widely used for measurement of different quantum states with different photon distributions.Based on the direct single SPD and double-SPD of HBT configuration, we discuss the effect of a real SPD on the photon statistics measurement and it shows that the measured photon distributions for different quantum states are corrected in different forms.The results are confirmed by experiment with the strongly attenuated coherent light and thermal light.This system can be used to characterize the photon statistics of the fluorescence light from single atom or single molecular.     

Quantum secure direct dialogue using Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs

A two-step quantum secure direct dialogue protocol using Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen(EPR)pair block is proposed.In the protocol,the dialogue messages are encoded on series of qubits and sent through a quantum channel directly.The security of the protocol is assured by its connection to the two-step quantum secure direct communication protocol,which has been proved secure.This protocol has several advantages.It is a direct communication protocol that does not require a separate classical communication for the ciphertext.It has high capacity as two bits of secret messages can be transmitted by an EPR pair.As a dialogue protocol,the two parties can speak to each other either simultaneously or sequentially.     

Enhancing the capability of controlling quantum systems via ancillary systems

This paper explores the potential of controlling quantum systems by introducing ancillary systems and then performing unitary operation on the resulting composite systems. It generalizes the concept of pure state controllability for quantum systems and establishes the link between the operator controllability of the composite system and the generalized pure state controllability of its subsystem. It is constructively demonstrated that if a composite quantum system can be transferred between any pair of orthonormal pure vectors, then its subsystem is generalized pure-state controllable. Furthermore, the unitary operation and the coherent control can be concretely given to transfer the system from an initial state to the target state. Therefore, these properties may be potentially applied in quantum information, such as manipulating multiple quantum bits and creating entangled pure states. A concrete example has been given to illustrate that a maximally entangled pure state of a quantum system can be generated by introducing an ancillary system and performing open-loop coherent control on the resulting composite system.     

Schrodinger Equation for an Open System

We present a Schrodinger (Liouville) type of equation for a quantum open system.It has a correlated part,and various master equations may be its special cases.It also has significant applications for constructing decoherencefree subspace for quantum computation.It is related to the original Schrodinger (Liouville)equation for the total system through a non-unitary similarity transformation.It is unnecessary for its correlated part to be self-adjoint,so there is a complex spectrum for the corresponding Hamiltonian (Liouvillian),which enables the time evolution of states to be asymmetric.This shows just the correlation to produce evolution of world.     

Deterministic Secure Quantum Communication with Cluster State and Bell-Basis Measurements

We present a novel protocol for deterministic secure quantum communication by using the lour-qubit cluster state as quantum channel. It is shown that two legitimate users can directly transmit the secret messages based on Bellbasis measurements and classical communication. The present protocol makes use of the ideas of block transmission and decoy particle checking technique. It has a high capacity as each cluster state can carry two 5its of information, and has a high intrinsic efficieney 5ecause almost all the instances except the decoy checking particles （its numSer is negligible） are useful. Furthermore, this protocol is feasible with present-day technique.     

Thermoelectric transport in conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT)has proved its quite competitive thermoelectric properties in flexible electronics with its excellent electrical and mechanical properties.Since the early discovery of PEDOT,considerable experimental progress has been achieved in optimizing and improving the thermoelectric properties as a promising organic thermoelectric material(OTE).Among them,theoretical research has made significant contributions to its development.Here the basic physics of conductive PEDOT are reviewed based on the combination of theory and experiment.The purpose is to provide a new insight into the development of PEDOT,so as to effectively design and preparation of advanced thermoelectric PEDOT material in the future.     

State transfer on two-fold Cayley trees via quantum walks

Perfect state transfer(PST)has great significance due to its applications in quantum information processing and quantum computation.The main problem we study in this paper is to determine whether the two-fold Cayley tree,an extension of the Cayley tree,admits perfect state transfer between two roots using quantum walks.We show that PST can be achieved by means of the so-called nonrepeating quantum walk[Phys.Rev.A 89042332(2014)]within time steps that are the distance between the two roots;while both the continuous-time quantum walk and the typical discrete-time quantum walk with Grover coin approaches fail.Our results suggest that in some cases the dynamics of a discrete-time quantum walk may be much richer than that of the continuous-time quantum walk.     

Universal resources for quantum computing

Unravelling the source of quantum computing power has been a major goal in the field of quantum information science. In recent years, the quantum resource theory(QRT) has been established to characterize various quantum resources, yet their roles in quantum computing tasks still require investigation. The so-called universal quantum computing model(UQCM),e.g. the circuit model, has been the main framework to guide the design of quantum algorithms,creation of real quantum computers etc. In this w...     

Exact quantum defect theory approach for lithium in magnetic fields

We calculate the diamagnetic spectrum of lithium at highly excited states up to the positive energy range using the exact quantum defect theory approach. The concerned excitation is one-photon transition from the ground state 2s to the highly excited states np with π and σ polarizations respectively. Lithium has a small quantum defect value 0.05 for the np states, and its diamagnetic spectrum is very similar to that of hydrogen in the energy range approaching the ionization limit. However, a careful calculation shows that the spectrum has a significant discrepancy with that of hydrogen when the energy is lower than 70cm-1 . The effect of the quantum defect is also discussed for the Stark spectrum. It is found that the σ transition to the np states in an electric field has a similar behavior to that of hydrogen due to zero interaction with channel ns.     

Long-distance quantum teleportation assisted with free-space entanglement distribution

Faithful long-distance quantum teleportation necessitates prior entanglement distribution between two communicated locations. The particle carrying on the unknown quantum information is then combined with one particle of the entangled states for Bell-state measurements, which leads to a transfer of the original quantum information onto the other particle of the entangled states. However in most of the implemented teleportation experiments nowadays, the Bell-state measurements are performed even before successful distribution of entanglement. This leads to an instant collapse of the quantum state for the transmitted particle, which is actually a single-particle transmission thereafter. Thus the true distance for quantum teleportation is, in fact, only in a level of meters. In the present experiment we design a novel scheme which has overcome this limit by utilizing fiber as quantum memory. A complete quantum teleportation is achieved upon successful entanglement distribution over 967 meters in public free space. Active feed-forward control techniques are developed for real-time transfer of quantum information. The overall experimental fidelities for teleported states are better than 89.6%, which signify high-quality teleportation.     

Quantum spectra and classical periodic orbit in the cubic billiard

Quantum billiards have attracted much interest in many fields. People have made a lot of researches on the two-dimensional (2D) billiard systems. Contrary to the 2D billiard, due to the complication of its classical periodic orbits, no one has studied the correspondence between the quantum spectra and the classical orbits of the three-dimensional (3D) billiards. Taking the cubic billiard as an example, using the periodic orbit theory, we find the periodic orbit of the cubic billiard and study the correspondence between the quantum spectra and the length of the classical orbits in 3D system. The Fourier transformed spectrum of this system has allowed direct comparison between peaks in such plot and the length of the periodic orbits, which verifies the correctness of the periodic orbit theory. This is another example showing that semiclassical method provides a bridge between quantum and classical mechanics.     

Implementation of Quantum Fourier Transform and Its Applications via Quantum-Dot Spins and Microcavity

A scheme for implementing discrete quantum Fourier transform is proposed via quantum dots embedded in a microcavity, and then some of its applications are investigated, i.e., Deutsch 3ozsa. algorithm and Shor＇s quantum factoring. In particular, the detailed process of implementing one~qubit Deutsch Jozsa algorithm and the factorization of N = 15 are given. The microcavity mode is only virtually excited in the whole interaction, so the effective decoherent has slight effect on the current scheme. These schemes would be an important step to fabricate a solid quantum computer.
