Quantum Dissonance as an Indicator of Quantum Phase Transition in the XXZ Chain

We investigate the behavior of quantum dissonance in the anti-ferromagnetic XXZ spin S = 1/2 chain, which exhibits a quantum phase transition. Based on a unified view of quantum and classical correlations, quantum dissonance is analytically calculated and is compared with entanglement, discord, and classical correlations for the ground state of the system. It is found that the nearest-neighbor quantum dissonance achieves an extremum and exhibits the sharpest change at the critical point. Therefore, quantum dissonance may serve as a more efficient indicator of quantum phase transitions in the XXZ spin chain.     

Enhancement of multiatom non-classical correlations and quantum state transfer in atom–cavity–fiber system

Taking the advantage of "parity kicks" pulses, we investigate the non-classical correlation dynamics and quantum state transfer in an atom–cavity–fiber system, which consists of two identical subsystems, each subsystem comprising of multiple two-level atoms trapped in two remote single-model optical cavities that are linked by an optical fiber. It is found that the non-classical correlations and the fidelity of quantum state transfer(between the atoms) can be greatly improved by the parity kicks pulses. In particular, with decrease of the time intervals between two consecutive pulses, perfect non-classical correlation transfer and entangled state transfer can be achieved.     

Kerr相互作用下量子相干性分布和量子信息流动

本文针对Kerr相互作用下系统中量子相干性的动力学分布进行了研究.所讨论系统包含两个没有相互作用的原子,每个原子都被囚禁在各自的光腔中,同时光腔被充满了非线性Kerr介质.研究发现非线性Kerr相互作用能够增加两原子间的量子相干性,而且增大的幅度会随着Kerr相互作用强度的增加而得以提高.其次,借助迹距离的方法,还探讨了非线性Kerr相互作用对于原子与光腔之间的量子信息流动的影响,发现Kerr相互作用可以加快量子信息回流到原子子系统中,抑制原子子系统与其余子系统间的量子信息交换,阻碍量子信息在系统中不同子系统间的流动,从而保护原子子系统中拥有的量子信息.
