Maximum confidence measurements via probabilistic quantum cloning

Probabilistic quantum cloning(PQC) cannot copy a set of linearly dependent quantum states.In this paper,we show that if incorrect copies are allowed to be produced,linearly dependent quantum states may also be cloned by the PQC.By exploiting this kind of PQC to clone a special set of three linearly dependent quantum states,we derive the upper bound of the maximum confidence measure of a set.An explicit transformation of the maximum confidence measure is presented.     

Optimal 1 → M phase-covariant cloning in three dimensions

In this paper, we derive the explicit transformations of the optimal 1 → 3, 4, 5 phase-covariant cloning in three dimensions, and then generalize them to the cases of 1 → M = 3n, 3n + 1, 3n + 2(n ≥ 1 integer) cloning. The clone fidelities are coincident with the theoretical bounds found.     

A simple scheme for generating multi-atom GHZ state via cavity QED

This paper proposes a simple scheme for generating a three-atom GHZ state via cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). The task can be achieved through the interaction between two EPR states, which can be prepared easily with current technology. In this scheme, the cavity field is only virtually excited during the interaction process, and no quantum information transfer between the atoms and the cavity is required. Thus it greatly prolongs the efficient decoherent time. Moreover, this scheme is also applicable for generating an N-atom GHZ state.     

Implementation of a Quantum Conditional Phase Gate for the Quantum Fourier Transform in Circuit QED

It is well known that multiple superconducting charge qubits coupled to a transmission line resonator can be controlled to achieve quantum logic gates between two arbitrary qubits. We propose a scheme to realize a quantum conditional phase gate with a geometric property by circuit electrodynamics, and it is applied naturally to reaJize the quantum Fourier transform with high fidelity. It is also demonstrated that the application is feasible and considerable under the present experimental technology.
