Faraday-Michelson system for quantum cryptography

Quantum key distribution provides unconditional security for communication. Unfortunately, current experimental schemes are not suitable for long-distance fiber transmission because of phase drift or Rayleigh backscattering. In this Letter we present a unidirectional intrinsically stable scheme that is based on Michelson-Faraday interferometers, in which ordinary mirrors are replaced with 90 degree Faraday mirrors. With the scheme, a demonstration setup was built and excellent stability of interference fringe visibility was achieved over a fiber length of 175 km. Through a 125 km long commercial communication fiber cable between Beijing and Tianjin, the key exchange was performed with a quantum bit-error rate of less than 6%, which is to our knowledge the longest reported quantum key distribution experiment under field conditions.

Generation of a four-atom entangled cluster state in cavity QED

We propose a method of generating a four-atom entangled cluster state by considering two kinds of the atoms–cavity field interaction in cavity QED. During the preparation the cavity is only virtually excited no quantum information will be transferred from the atoms to the cavity and thus the scheme is insensitive to the cavity field states and cavity decay. The scheme can also be used to generate the cluster state for the trapped ions.     

Information-Disturbance Tradeoff in Estimating the Unknown Three-Qubit GHZ State

In a recent paper, Sacchi （Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 （2006） 220502） studied the information-disturbance tradeoff in estimating an unknown two-qubit maximally entangled state. In this study, we explore the tradeoff in estimating 13 an unknown three-qubit GHZ state. The optimal estimation process supplies a fidelity of 13/54 and the tradeoff interpolates smoothly between non-informative measurement and optimal estimation process.     

离轴抽运对Nd:YAG激光器振荡模式影响的研究

以激光二极管端面抽运固体激光器为研究对象,通过实验研究了离轴抽运条件下,离轴量的大小对Nd:YAG激光器的振荡光阈值、振荡模式、光束质量以及激光器的斜效率的影响,分析了在同一抽运位置改变LD电流时输出光位置及模式的变化情况.实验结果表明,当抽运光离轴量增大时,斜效率增大,但输出光依次出现从低阶模到高阶模的变化,激光器的振荡阈值升高,光束质量变差;在同一抽运位置增大LD电流时,输出光从高阶模向低阶模转化,光斑中心向此时的抽运中心轴靠拢.     

Extensible router for a quantum key distribution network

Building a quantum key distribution network is crucial for practical quantum cryptography. We present a scheme to build a star topology quantum key distribution network based on wavelength division multiplexing which, with current technology, can connect at least a hundred users. With the scheme, a 4-user demonstration network was built up and key exchanges were performed.     

Effect of Mg and C contents in MgCNi3, and structure and superconductivity of MgCNi3- x -Co x

The effect of Mg and C contents on T_C in MgCN₃, and structure and superconductivity of MgCNi_3-x Co _x were studied. It is found that the excess of Mg and C in initial material mixture is favorable to improvement inT _c and helps to obtain single-phase samples. For preparing MgCNi₃ superconductor, the optimum composition of starting materials is MgC_1.45Ni₃ with excess of Mg (20 wt.%) of the stoichiometric composition. In gCNi_3-x Co _x system, a continuous solid solution is formed, lattice parameter decreases slightly andT _c decreases obviously with increasingx. A suppression of superconductivity is observed due to the substitution of Co (Mn) for Ni. The suppression effect is smaller for the substitution of Co than that of Mn
