Controlled Remote State Preparation of an Arbitrary Two-Qubit State by Using Two Sets of Four-Qubit GHZ States

Recently, Huang and Zhao (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 56, 678, 2017) proposed a new scheme for controlled remote state preparation of an arbitrary two-qubit state by using two sets of three-qubit GHZ states as the quantum channel. In the scheme, Alice and Bob choose four different kinds of two-qubit projective measurement bases to measure their local qubits, respectively. We demonstrate that two sets of four-qubit GHZ states can be used to realize the deterministic controlled remote state preparation of an arbitrary two-qubit state by performing only two-qubit projective measurements.     

A probabilistic quantum communication protocol using mixed entangled channel

Qubits are realized as polarization state of photons or as superpositions of the spin states of electrons. In this paper we propose a scheme to probabilistically teleport an unknown arbitrary two-qubit state using a non-maximally entangled GHZ-like state and a non-maximally Bell state simultaneously as quantum channels. We also discuss the success probability of our scheme. We perform POVM in the protocol which is operationally advantageous. In our scheme we show that the non-maximal quantum resources perform better than maximal resources.     

Deterministic Joint Remote Preparation of a Four-Qubit Cluster-Type State via GHZ States

A scheme for the deterministic joint remote preparation of a four-qubit cluster-type state using only two Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states as quantum channels is presented. In this scheme, the first sender performs a two-qubit projective measurement according to the real coefficient of the desired state. Then, the other sender utilizes the measurement result and the complex coefficient to perform another projective measurement. To obtain the desired state, the receiver applies appropriate unitary operations to his/her own two qubits and two CNOT operations to the two ancillary ones. Most interestingly, our scheme can achieve unit success probability, i.e., P _{s u c} =1. Furthermore, comparison reveals that the efficiency is higher than that of most other analogous schemes.     

Protecting Distribution Entanglement for Two-Qubit State Using Weak Measurement and Reversal

Protection of entanglement from disturbance of the environment is an essential task in quantum information processing. We investigate the effect of the weak measurement and reversal (WMR) on the protection of the entanglement for an arbitrarily entangled two-qubit pure state from these three typical quantum noisy channels, i.e., amplitude damping channel, phase damping channel and depolarizing quantum channel. Given the parameters of the Bell-like initial qubits’ state |ψ〉 = a|00〉 + d|11〉, it is found that the WMR operation indeed helps for protecting distributed entanglement from the above three noisy quantum channels. But for the Bell-like initial qubits’ state |?〉 = b|01〉 + c|10〉, the WMR operation only protects entanglement in the amplitude damping channel, not for the phase damping and depolarizing quantum channels. In addition, we discuss how the concurrence and the success probability behave with adjusting the weak or the reversal weak measurement strength.     

Probabilistic Quantum Information Splitting Based on the Non-maximally Entangled Four-Qubit State

In this paper, we propose a scheme for quantum information splitting based on the non-maximally entangled four-qubit state in order to realize the splitting of the specific two-qubit state |ψ〉 _{A B} =x|00〉+y|11〉. The information splitter will safely share an state to the receiver with help of the controller. Through introducing an auxiliary system and applying several appropriate unitary transformations the information receiver can reconstruct the original state sent by the information splitter. Due to the non-maximally entangled four-qubit state, the total probability that the receiver obtains the original information is P. Furthermore, we discuss the relationship between the successful splitting probability and the concurrence of the entangled state and get a specific expression. In addition, the scheme is tested against external and internal attacks, and we define a function to characterise the security with the concurrence of the entanglement.     

Bidirectional Teleportation of a Two-Qubit State by Using Eight-Qubit Entangled State as a Quantum Channel

In this paper, a new scheme of bidirectional quantum teleportation (BQT) making use of an eight-qubit entangled state as the quantum channel is presented. This scheme is the first protocol without controller by which the users can teleport an arbitrary two-qubit state to each other simultaneously. This protocol is based on the ControlledNOT operation, appropriate single-qubit unitary operations and single-qubit measurement in the Z-basis and X-basis.     

Bidirectional Quantum Teleportation of a Class of <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Qubit States by Using (2<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> + <Emphasis Type="Bold">2</Emphasis>)-Qubit Entangled States as Quantum Channel

A new protocol of bidirectional quantum teleportation (BQT) is proposed in which the users can transmit a class of n-qubit state to each other simultaneously, by using (2n + 2)-qubit entangled states as quantum channel. The state of the art approaches can only transmit two-qubit states in each round. This scheme is based on control-not operation, single-qubit measurements and appropriate single-qubit unitary operations. It is shown that the protocol is secure in preparation phase.     

Controlled Joint Remote State Preparation of an Arbitrary Equatorial Two-Qubit State

We propose a scheme for controlled joint remote state preparation of an arbitrary equatorial two-qubit state by using a seven-qubit entangled state as the quantum channel. In this scheme, two senders wish to help a receiver to remotely prepare an arbitrary equatorial two-qubit state, and the receiver can obtain the original quantum state with 100% success probability by performing the appropriate unitary operations.

     

Quantum Teleportation of an Arbitrary N-qubit State via GHZ-like States

Recently Zhu (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 53, 4095, 2014) had shown that using GHZ-like states as quantum channel, it is possible to teleport an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state. We investigate this channel for the teleportation of an arbitrary N-qubit state. The strict proof through mathematical induction is presented and the rule for the receiver to reconstruct the desired state is explicitly derived in the most general case. We also discuss that if a system of quantum secret sharing of classical message is established, our protocol can be transformed to a N-qubit perfect controlled teleportation scheme from the controller’s point of view.     

Controlled Joint Remote Preparation of a Six-Qubit Cluster-Type State by Using GHZ States

A scheme for the controlled joint remote preparation of an arbitrary six-qubit cluster-type state by using only two sets of five-qubit GHZ states as quantum channel is proposed. In our scheme, Alice firstly performs two sets of two-qubit projective measurement according to the real coefficients and the complex coefficients of the desired six-qubit cluster-type state. Then, the controller Charlie must apply another two-qubit projective measurement according to the Alice’s measurement result. Finally, Bob can obtain the desired six-qubit cluster-type state according to an appropriate unitary operation. Our scheme can achieve unit success probability.

     

Controlled Remote Preparation Via the Brown State with no Restriction

Two controlled remote state preparation protocols via the Brown state as the entangled channel are proposed. One prepares an arbitrary two-qubit state, and the other prepares an arbitrary three-qubit state. It is worth mentioning that Hurwitz matrix equation plays a key role in the construction of measurement basis. Comparing with the previous protocols, the novel schemes have no restriction on the coefficients of the prepared state while keeping the same success probability 50 %. It means that the application of the proposed schemes are more extensive in practice. Moreover, we discuss the special complex coefficient ensembles with unit success probability.     

Tripartite Quantum Controlled Teleportation via Seven-Qubit Cluster State

In this paper, a theoretical scheme for tripartite quantum controlled teleportation is presented using the entanglement property of seven-qubit cluster state. This means that Alice wants to transmit a entangled state of particle a to Bob, Charlie wants to transmit a entangled state of particle b to David and Edison wants to transmit a entangled state of particle c to Ford via the control of the supervisor. In the end, we compared the aspects of quantum resource consumption, operation complexity, classical resource consumption, quantum information bits transmitted, success probability and efficiency with other schemes.     

Bidirectional Controlled Remote State Preparation of an Arbitrary Two-Qubit State

We propose a scheme of bidirectional controlled remote state preparation of an arbitrary two-qubit state, where a nine-qubit entangled state is used as the quantum channel. In our scheme, Alice and Bob can prepare simultaneously an arbitrary two-qubit state for each other’s place with the help of the controller Charlie. The total success probability for our scheme reaches 100%. PACS numbers 03.67.Hk, 03.65.Ud, 42.50.Dv.

     

Protection of Quantum Correlation Through the Quantum Erasing Effect

By taking into account the quantum erasing effect(QEE), the quantum discord (QD) behavior of a two-qubit system with different initial states are investigated in detail. We find that the quantum correlation can be saved under a scheme of two spatially separated atoms, each located in a leaky cavity through the quantum erasing method. It is shown that QEE can weaken the effects of decoherence, and preserve the maximum information of the coherent item. No matter whether the two atoms are in the mixted or pure state, one can robusty save their initial quantum correlation even the number of erasing events is finite. If one limit the erasing events N → ∞, the QEE can be used to protect the initial quantum correlation independently of the state in which it is stored, the values of QD is always nearly equal to the initial QD values, and it is nearly independent of the decoherence, which imply us more encourage strategy for protecting the quantum correlation properties in some quantum systems.     

Generation of a two-photon KLM quantum channel

As demonstrated by E. Knill et al. [Nature 409, 46 (2001)], quantum teleportation and quantum logic gates with a success probability close to one can be implemented using only linear optical elements, additional photons, and post-selection. To do this, it is desirable to have special quantum channels in sight before quantum teleportation performance. Here, we propose an experimental arrangement to generate a two-photon KLM state different from the well-known Bell states. This two-photon KLM state can be used to enhance the success probability of the quantum teleportation of a one-mode quantum qubit from 0.5 up to 2/3.     

Quantum Teleportation of a Three-qubit State using a Five-qubit Cluster State

Recently Muralidharan and Panigrahi (Phys. Rev. A 78, 062333 2008) had shown that using a five-qubit cluster state as quantum channel, it is possible to teleport an arbitrary single-qubit state and an arbitrary two-qubit state. In this paper, we investigate this channel for the teleportation of a special form of three-qubit state.     

Geometric Global Quantum Discord of Two-qubit X States

In this paper, we find that the geometric global quantum discord proposed by Xu and the total quantum correlations proposed by Hassan and Joag are identical. Moreover, we work out the analytical formulas of the geometric global quantum discord and geometric quantum discord both for two-qubit X states, respectively. We further illustrate how to use these formulas to deal with a few particular examples. We also compare the results achieved by using three kinds of geometric quantum discords. The geometric quantum discord is verified as a tight lower bound of the geometric global quantum discord for two-qubit X states.     

Fast Implementation of Quantum Phase Gates and Creation of Cluster States via Transitionless Quantum Driving

In this paper, combining transitionless quantum driving and quantum Zeno dynamics, we propose an efficient scheme to fast implement a two-qubit quantum phase gate which can be used to generate cluster state of atoms trapped in distant cavities. The influence of various of various error sources including spontaneous emission and photon loss on the fidelity is analyzed via numerical simulation. The results show that this scheme not only takes less time than adiabatic scheme but also is not sensitive to both error sources. Additionally, a creation of N-atom cluster states is put forward as a typical example of the applications of the phase gates.     

Entanglement dynamics of two interacting qubits under the influence of local dissipation

We investigate the dynamics of entanglement given by the concurrence of a two-qubit system in the non-Markovian setting. A quantum master equation is derived, which is solved in the eigenbasis of the system Hamiltonian for X-type initial states. A closed formula for time evolution of concurrence is presented for a pure state. It is shown that under the influence of dissipation non-zero entanglement is created in unentangled two-qubit states which decay in the same way as pure entangled states. We also show that under real circumstances, the decay rate of concurrence is strongly modified by the non-Markovianity of the evolution.     

Improving the Teleportation Scheme of Three-Qubit State with a Four-Qubit Quantum Channel

Recently, Zhao-Hui Wei et al. (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 55, 4687, 2016) proposed an improved quantum teleportation scheme for one three-qubit unknown state with a four-qubit quantum channel based on the original one proposed by Binayak S. Choudhury and Arpan Dhara (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 55, 3393, 2016). According to their schemes, the three-qubit entangled state could be teleported with one four-qubit cluster state and five-qubit joint measurements or four-qubit joint measurements. In this paper, we present an improved protocol only with single-qubit measurements and the same four-qubit quantum channel, lessening the difficulty and intensity of necessary operations.
