Quantum Fisher Information of Decohered W and GHZ Superposition States with Arbitrary Relative Phase

Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) is a very useful concept for analyzing situations that require phase sensitivity. It become a popular topic especially in Quantum Metrology domain. In this work, we study the changes in quantum Fisher information (QFI) values for one relative arbitrary phased quantum system consisting of a superposition of N Qubits W and GHZ states. In a recent work (Ozaydin et al. Int. J. Theor. Phys. 52, 2977, 2013), QFI values of this mentioned system for N qubits were studied. In this work, we extend this problem for the changes of QFI values in some noisy channels for the studied system. We show the changes in QFI depending on noise parameters. We report interesting results for different type of decoherence channels. We show the general case results for this problem.     

Quantum Fisher Information of N Particles in the Superposition of W and GHZ States

We investigate the quantum Fisher information of a multipartite entangled state of N particles in a superposition of W and GHZ states. We find that the mean quantum Fisher information per particle (RMQFI) decreases with respect to the number of the particles and the peak is observed between 0.6 and 0.8 values of the superposition coefficient of W state. We present the behavior of RMQFI for N from 2 to 10 and discuss some interesting results.     

Quantum Fisher Information for Density Matrices with Arbitrary Ranks

We provide a new expression of the quantum Fisher information （QFI） for a general system. Utilizing this expression, the QFI for a non-full rank density matrix is only determined by its support. This expression can bring convenience for an infinite-dimensional density matrix with a finite support. Besides, a matrix representation of the QFI is also given.     

Quantum Fisher Information and Phase Sensitivity in Various Initial States

I investigate the dependence of phase sensitivity on the initial input states. By adopting frozen-spin approximation, I first derive the analytical expresses of the angular momentum operators and then of quantum Fisher information, the phase sensitivity. It is shown that the initial input state with smaller value of angular momentum has the better degree of entanglement and phase sensitivity beats the Heisenberg limit.     

Quantum Fisher Information of Superpositions with 3-Qubit Ghz-Class State and W State

We investigate the quantum Fisher information in a general superposition of a GHZ-class state and a W state. It is shown that the mean spin direction is determined by the four coefficients of superposition and the relative phase between the GHZ-class state and the W state and it is independent of the relative phase between the GHZ-class state; while the length of mean spin is only determined by the four superposition coefficients. It is also shown that the quantum Fisher information of the superposition state is determined by the four superposition coefficients and the two relative phases.     

Single-Particle Coherence and the Reciprocal of the Mean Quantum Fisher Information in Three-Particle Phase State

We investigate the relation between the single-particle coherence and the reciprocal of the mean quantum Fisher information (RMQFI) in three-particle phase state. It is shown that the phase state is a entangled state that it is useful for sub-shot-noise phase estimation sensitivity. The single-particle coherence and RMQFI have the similar behaviors.     

Probing Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Phase Transition of Spin-Half XXZ Chain by Quantum Fisher Information

The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition of spin-1/2 XXZ chain is reinvestigated by the quantum Fisher information.Quantum Fisher informations of the whole N sites and the partial N/3 sites display remarkably similar behaviors near the critical point.The critical exponent of quantum Fisher information is obtained as β=0.47,which is consistent with the results obtained by the concurrence and quantum discord.     

Quantum Fisher Information and Uncertainty Relations

It is well known that the Cramér–Rao inequality places a lower bound for quantum Fisher information in terms of the variance of any quantum measurement. We establish an upper bound for quantum Fisher information of a parameterized family of density operators in terms of the variance of the generator. These two bounds together yield a generalization of the Heisenberg uncertainty relations from statistical estimation perspective.     

On the Analytical Derivation of Quantum Fisher Information and Skew Information for two Qubit X States

The quantum Fisher information defined via the symmetric logarithmic derivative and the skew information are two different aspects describing the information contents of quantum mechanical density operators. They are considered as natural generalizations of the classical Fisher information and constitute key ingredients in the emerging field of quantum metrology. In this paper, we give the analytical expression of quantum Fisher information and skew information for two-qubit system prepared in a two-qubit state of X type.

     

Quantum Fisher Information and the Heisenberg Limit in Superpositions of Two W States and Symmetric State

We investigate the quantum Fisher information and the Heisenberg limit in superposition of a four-qubit symmetric state and two W states. Numerical and analytical calculations for quantum Fisher information and the Heisenberg limit of the four-qubit state are driven. It is shown that quantum Fisher information of the four-qubit state depends on the superposition coefficients and the relative phase. It is also shown that under certain conditions, the maximal quantum Fisher information occurred; which leads to the estimation sensitivity beats the Heisenberg limit.

Tripartite Splitting Arbitrary 2-Qubit Quantum Information by Using Two Asymmetric W States

In this paper we propose a tripartite scheme for splitting an arbitrary 2-qubit quantum information by using two asymmetric W states as the quantum channel. In the schemem if the two recipients collaborate together, they can deterministically recover the quantum information by performing first a 4-qubit collective unitary operation and then two single-qubit unitary operations. In addition, since the asymmetric W states are employed as the quantum channel, the scheme is robust against decoherence.

Fisher Information of Wavefunctions： Classical and Quantum

A parametric quantum mechanical wavefunction naturally induces parametric probability distributions by taking absolute square, and we can consider its classical Fisher information. On the other hand, it also induces parametric rank-one projections which may be viewed as density operators, and we can talk about its quantum Fisher information. Among many versions of quantum Fisher information, there are two prominent ones. The first, defined via a quantum score function, was introduced by Helstrom in 1967 and is well known. The second, defined via the square root of the density operator, has its origin in the skew information introduced by Wigner and Yanase in 1963 and remains relatively unnoticed. This study is devoted to investigating the relationships between the classical Fisher information and these two versions of quantum Fisher information for wavefunctions. It is shown that the two versions of quantum Fisher information differ by a factor 2 and that they dominate the classical Fisher information. The non-coincidence of these two versions of quantum Fisher information may be interpreted as a manifestation of quantum discord. We further calculate the difference between the Helstrom quantum Fisher information and the classical Fisher information, and show that it is precisely the instantaneous phase fluctuation of the wavefunctions.     

Quantum Fisher information of the GHZ state due to classical phase noise lasers under non-Markovian environment

The dynamics of N$N$-qubit GHZ state quantum Fisher information (QFI) under phase noise lasers (PNLs) driving is investigated in terms of non-Markovian master equation. We first investigate the non-Markovian dynamics of the QFI of N$N$-qubit GHZ state and show that when the ratio of the PNL rate and the system–environment coupling strength is very small, the oscillations of the QFIs decay slower which corresponds to the non-Markovian region; yet when it becomes large, the QFIs monotonously decay which corresponds to the Markovian region. When the atom number N$N$ increases, QFIs in both regions decay faster. We further find that the QFI flow disappears suddenly followed by a sudden birth depending on the ratio of the PNL rate and the system–environment coupling strength and the atom number N$N$, which unveil a fundamental connection between the non-Markovian behaviors and the parameters of system–environment couplings. We discuss two optimal positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) for two different strategies of our model and find the condition of the optimal measurement. At last, we consider the QFI of two atoms with qubit–qubit interaction under random telegraph noises (RTNs).     

Quantum Teleportation of Tripartite Arbitrary State via W State

A scheme of teleportation of a tripartite state via W state is suggested. The W state serves as quantum channels. Standard Bell-state measurements and Von Neumann measurements are performed. After the sender operates the measurements and informs the receiver her results＇ he can reconstruct the original state by the corresponding unitary transformation. The probability of the successful teleportation is also obtained.

Weyl Geometries, Fisher Information and Quantum Entropy in Quantum Mechanics

It is known that quantum mechanics can be interpreted as a non-Euclidean deformation of the space-time geometries by means Weyl geometries. We propose here a dynamical explanation of such approach by deriving Bohm potential from minimum condition of Fisher information connected to the entropy of a quantum system.
