We investigate the spin squeezing in superpositions of a N-qubit GHZ state and two W states. The spin squeezing parameter is determined by the superposition coefficients and the relative phase. It is shown that there is squeezing in the n ₂ direction and there is no squeezing in the n ₁ direction. It is also shown that the state with more number of qubits has smaller spin squeezing parameter.

Single-Particle Coherence and Spin Squeezing in Four-Qubit Phase State

We investigate single-particle coherence and spin squeezing in four-qubit phase state governed by an one-axis twisting Hamiltonian. In particular, we are interesting in the dependence of single-particle coherence and spin squeezing on the nonlinear interaction. It is shown that single-particle coherence and spin squeezing parameter only depend on the nonlinear interaction and they are periodic function of nonlinear interaction.     

Spin squeezing and entanglement via hole-burning in atomic coherent states

We study the generation of spin squeezing via the hole burning of selected Dicke states out of an atomic coherent state prepared for a collection of N two-level atoms or ions. The atoms or ions of the atomic coherent state are not entangled, but the removal of one or more Dicke states generates entanglement, and spin squeezing occurs for some ranges of the relevant parameters. Spin squeezing in a collection of two-level atoms or ions is of importance for precision spectroscopy.

Numerical and analytical solutions for the length of mean spin, mean spin direction and spin squeezing are given. It is shown that both the mean spin direction and spin squeezing parameter are determined by the coefficients of superposition and the relative phase.     

Thermal Entanglement Properties in two Kinds of Two-qubit Spin Squeezing Model

Using the concurrence (C) criterion, we investigate the thermal entanglement properties in two-qubit spin squeezing model for two kinds of squeezing interaction: one-axis twisting model (OATM) and two-axis countertwisting model (TACM) with a transverse field. To the OATM, in the limit case of T→0, the ground state entanglement is initially increased from zero to the maximum value, then decreased in a period of time and suddenly disappeared finally with further enhancing the external magnetic field Ω. One interesting thing is that instead of decaying slowly to zero the entanglement is sudden disappeared with further enhancing Ω or μ (the spin squeezing interaction in X direction), and decreasing the parameter μ or Ω can obviously broaden the scope of entanglement exists. For the finite temperature case, a novelty point is the sudden birth phenomenon occured in the behaviors of entanglement, it is initially to be zero (persists for some time), with further improving Ω and μ the entanglement will be suddenly appeared, and the time interval (persists to be zero) before sudden birth is obviously prolonged with decreasing two parameters. The temperature range of entanglement exists can be extended evidently with increasing μ or Ω, and one can obtain entanglement at higher temperature through changing them. When to the TACM, the ground state entanglement is initially decreased from the maximum value and then suddenly disappeared with increasing Ω. While increasing γ the ground state entanglement is increased initially from zero to the maximum value and then sudden disappeared with further improving γ (the spin squeezing interaction in XY plane), proper tuing γ or Ω can prolong the lives of entanglement evidently. For the finite temperature case, the sudden birth phenomenon also occured in the the evoluted concurrence, the variation of parameters Ω and γ can reduce the time interval before sudden birth. The influence of the temperature T on thermal entanglement property is also investigated. The temperature range of entanglement existence can be extended evidently with increasing γ, one can obtain entanglement at higher temperature through changing parameters γ and Ω.     

Higher-order amplitude squeezing of photons propagating through a semiconductor

Kth power photon amplitude squeezing is studied when the coherent photon propagates through a semiconductor containing the exciton. If the exciton is prepared initially in a coherent state, the photon may become Kth power amplitude squeezed. It is shown that, in the short-time limit, the photon squeezing in the P direction does not appear at all while that in the X direction is possible for all the amplitude powers K. In the latter case, the amount of squeezing is larger for higher power K. The dependences on all the system parameters as well as on the output light detection moment are investigated in detail.     

Wigner Function of the Two-Mode Squeezing-Enhanced Vacuum State

We find the two-mode generalized squeezing operator with two parameters can be separated into the product of a ordinary squeezing operator S ₂(ξ) and a rotating operator R ₂(θ). Acting it on the two-mode vacuum state, one can get two-mode squeezing-enhanced vacuum state (TSEVS). Compared with the usual two-mode squeezed vacuum state, TSEVS exhibits stronger squeezing properties. With the help of the operator’s Weyl-ordering invariance under the similarity transformation, we derive the Wigner function of the TSEVS.     

Coherence and squeezing in Z3‐graded spin coherent states

Bistability and steady-state spin squeezing in diamond nanostructures controlled by a nanomechanical resonator

As the quantum states of nitrogen vacancy (NV) center can be coherently manipulated and obtained at room temperature, it is important to generate steady-state spin squeezing in spin qubits associated with NV impurities in diamond. With this task we consider a new type of a hybrid magneto-nano-electromechanical resonator, the functionality of which is based on a magnetic-field induced deflection of an appropriate cantilever that oscillates between NV spins in diamond. We show that there is bistability and spin squeezing state due to the presence of the microwave field, despite the damping from mechanical damping. Moreover, we find that bistability and spin squeezing can be controlled by the microwave field and the parameter V_z$V_z$. Our scheme may have the potential application on spin clocks, magnetometers, and other measurements based on spin–spin system in diamond nanostructures.     

Atomic squeezed states in a driven Dicke model

We consider the dissipative N two-level atom Dicke system driven by a c.w. laser field. In the steady state, the cooperativity among the atoms via the radiation field produces spin squeezing. Even in the absence of dipole-dipole interaction, the system shows spin squeezing which is attributed to strong nonlinear interaction with the driving field.     

Optimal Remote Preparation of a Four-Qubit Entangled Cluster-Type State Via Two Non-Maximally Entangled GHZ-Type States

We devise an highly efficient protocol for remotely preparing a four-qubit entangled cluster-type state. In this protocol, two non-maximally entangled GHZ-type states are employed to link the sender Alice and the receiver Bob, and the to-be-prepared state can be reconstructed successfully with the probability of (b₁b₂)² in general case. Then to achieve our concerns of constructing efficient remote preparation with higher success probability, some special ensembles of four-qubit states are minutely investigated. As a result, it is shown that the total probability of the RSP protocol, in these particular cases, can be improved to twice or even fourfold as that in general case.     

High-pressure effects on the crystal and magnetic structure of the Nd0.78Ba0.22CoO3 cobaltite

The crystal and magnetic structure of the Nd_0.78Ba_0.22CoO₃ cobaltite is studied by neutron diffraction at high pressures up to 4.2 GPa in the temperature range 10–300 K. The pressure dependences of structural parameters are obtained. Ferromagnetic ordering of the Co sublattice is observed at normal pressure below T _C ～ 140 K, and ferrimagnetic ordering of the Co and Nd sublattices with an antiparallel direction of magnetic moments appears at T _F ～ 40 K. The magnetic moment of Co and the temperature T _C change slightly under pressure, which points to the stability of the initial intermediate-spin (S = 1) state of Co³⁺ ions. This behavior differs considerably from the characteristic behavior of cobaltites that are close in chemical composition and structure and exhibit ferromagnetic ordering of only the Co sublattice. In these cobaltites, the magnetic moment of Co is substantially suppressed and T _C decreases under pressure, which is related to the change in the state of Co³⁺ ions from the intermediate spin state to the nonmagnetic low-spin state (S = 0). The interplay between the appearance of the magnetic interaction of the R-Co sublattices and the stability of the spin state of Co³⁺ ions in the Nd_0.78Ba_0.22CoO₃ cobaltite is discussed.     

Various Quantum Correlations in Two-Qubit Two-Axis Spin Squeezing Model in Thermal Equilibrium under an External Magnetic Field

This paper investigates the influence of the spin squeezing parameter γ, the external magnetic field B and the temperature T on the concurrence (C), the quantum discord (QD), and the geometric quantum discord (GQD) in the two-qubit two-axis spin squeezing model in thermal equilibrium under an external magnetic field. The results show that the spin squeezing parameter γ has a positive effect on all three correlations. When the system is in the ground state, the external magnetic field B has a weakening effect on the three types of quantum correlations. Particularly, the spin squeezing parameter can be used to alleviate the destructive effect of the magnetic field on the geometric quantum discord. At a relatively high temperature, the externally applied magnetic field B helps enhance the quantum discord (QD). Further, the quantum discord is more robust than concurrence, and thus is more suitable for use as a quantum resource in information processing.
