Sufficient Conditions of the Same State Order Induced by Coherence

In this paper, we study coherence-induced state ordering with Tsallis relative entropy of coherence, relative entropy of coherence and l1 norm of coherence, and give the sufficient conditions of the same state order induced by above coherence measures. First, we show that the above measures give the same ordering for single-qubit states in some special cases. Second, we consider some special states in a d-dimensional quantum system. We show that the above measures generate the same ordering for these special states. Finally, we discuss dynamics of coherence-induced state ordering under Markovian channels. We find amplitude damping channel changes the coherence-induced ordering even though for single-qubit states with fixed mixedness.     

Dynamics of coherence-induced state ordering under Markovian channels

We study the dynamics of coherence-induced state ordering under incoherent channels, particularly four specific Markovian channels: amplitude damping channel, phase damping channel, depolarizing channel and bit flit channel for single-qubit states. We show that the amplitude damping channel, phase damping channel, and depolarizing channel do not change the coherence-induced state ordering by l₁ norm of coherence, relative entropy of coherence, geometric measure of coherence, and Tsallis relative α-entropies, while the bit flit channel does change for some special cases.     

利用量子相干性判定开放二能级系统中非马尔可夫性

从量子相干性包括l₁ norm相干性和量子相对熵相干性的角度建立了判定开放量子系统中非马尔可夫过程的方法, 并给出了相应的判别条件. 作为它们的具体应用, 研究了一个两能级系统分别经历相位衰减通道、 随机幺正通道和振幅耗散通道作用时对应的非马尔可夫过程发生必须满足的条件. 对于三种通道模型, 得到了l₁ norm相干性对系统任意态非马尔可夫过程发生的判别条件, 并发现在相位衰减通道和振幅耗散通道中其非马尔可夫过程发生 的条件与用其他方式如信息回流、可分性和量子互熵给出的条件是相同的, 而在随机幺正通道中给出了一个新的且不完全等价于基于信息回流和可分性对应的条件. 至于量子相对熵相干性, 在相位衰减通道中得到了对系统任意态的非马尔可夫过程发生的具体条件, 并发现该条件也等同于基于信息回流、可分性和量子互熵给出的条件. 而在随机幺正通道和振幅耗散通道中得到了系统最大相干态对应的非马尔可夫过程发生的条件.     

Quantum uncertainty relations of Tsallis relative α entropy coherence based on MUBs

In this paper,we discuss quantum uncertainty relations of Tsallis relative α entropy coherence for a single qubit system based on three mutually unbiased bases.For α∈[1/2,1)U(1,2],the upper and lower bounds of sums of coherence are obtained.However,the above results cannot be verified directly for any α∈(0,1/2).Hence,we only consider the special case of α=1/n+1,where n is a positive integer,and we obtain the upper and lower bounds.By comparing the upper and lower bounds,we find that the upper bound is equal to the lower bound for the special α=1/2,and the differences between the upper and the lower bounds will increase as α increases.Furthermore,we discuss the tendency of the sum of coherence,and find that it has the same tendency with respect to the different θ or φ,which is opposite to the uncertainty relations based on the Rényi entropy and Tsallis entropy.     

双模场与原子相互作用中的量子纠缠和内禀退相干

通过求解系统的Milburn方程，研究了两能级原子与双模SU(1,1)相干态光场发生相互作用系统中，原子与场的纠缠及双模SU(1,1)相干态场的模间纠缠随时间的演化问题，讨论了内禀退相干、双模光子数差等对纠缠度的影响.结果表明，存在内禀退相干时，随着时间的演化，场-原子纠缠逐渐减小到一个确定值，而模间纠缠逐渐增大到一个确定值，两者演化的最终值只取决于双模光子数差和平均光子数，而与内禀退相干因子无关. 关键词： Milburn理论 SU(1 1)相干态 量子约化熵 量子相对熵     

Coherence of Superposition States*

We find tight upper bound on the coherence of a superposition of two states in terms of the coherence of the two states constituting the superposition with $l_{1}$-norm of coherence. Our upper bound is tighter than the one presented by Liu, et al. [Quantum Inf. Process. 15 (2016) 4209.] We also generalize the results to the case that the superposition is constituted with more than two states in high dimension, and we give the corresponding upper bounds.

Squeezed State Caused by Inverse of Photon Creation Operator

Using the photon creation operator's eigenstate theory we derive the normally ordered expansion of inverse of the squeezed creation operator. It turns out that using this operator a kind of excitation on the squeezed vacuum states can be formed.     

Relative entropy of entanglement of two-qubit ’X’ states

Two closest single-qubit states could be diagonalised by the same unitary matrix,which helps to find the relative entropy of entanglement of a two-qubit ’X’ state.We formulate two binary equations for the relative entropy of entanglement and the corresponding closest separable state of a given two-qubit ’X’ state.This approach can be applied to get the relative entropy of entanglement of many widely-discussed two-qubit states,such as pure states,Werner states,and so on.     

Estimating Non-Gaussianity of a Quantum State by Measuring Orthogonal Quadratures

We derive the lower bounds for a non-Gaussianity measure based on quantum relative entropy (QRE). Our approach draws on the observation that the QRE-based non-Gaussianity measure of a single-mode quantum state is lower bounded by a function of the negentropies for quadrature distributions with maximum and minimum variances. We demonstrate that the lower bound can outperform the previously proposed bound by the negentropy of a quadrature distribution. Furthermore, we extend our method to establish lower bounds for the QRE-based non-Gaussianity measure of a multimode quantum state that can be measured by homodyne detection, with or without leveraging a Gaussian unitary operation. Finally, we explore how our lower bound finds application in non-Gaussian entanglement detection.     

New Bosonic Operator Ordering Identities Gained by the Entangled State Representation and Two-Variable Hermite Polynomials

Based on the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, we derive new bosonicoperators‘ ordering identities by using entangled state representation and the properties of two-variable Hermite poly-nomials H and vice versa. In doing so, some concise normally (antinormally) ordering operator identities, such asa man =:Hm,n(a ,a):, ana m = (-i)m n:Hm,n(ia ,ia): are obtained.     

Mixedness,Coherence and Entanglement in a Family of Three-Qubit States

We consider a family of states describing three-qubit systems. We derived formulas showing the relations between linear entropy and measures of coherence such as degree of coherence, first- and second-order correlation functions. We show that qubit–qubit states are strongly entangled when linear entropy reaches some range of values. For such states, we derived the conditions determining boundary values of linear entropy parametrized by measures of coherence.     

Entanglement of Non-symmetric Two Atomic Qubits Induced by a Coherent State Field

The entanglement of two atomic qubits, which are coupled to a coherent state field with different couplings, is studied. The dynamical evolution of the concurrence, which measures the degree of the entanglement between the two qubits, is plotted versus the scaled time gt. It is found that the two qubits can be entangled by the coherent state field even when they are initially prepared in the most mixed state, and for very weak field, the most mixed state can be more easily entangled than some pure states. It is also found that the entanglement between the qubits sensitively depends on the relative difference of the atomic couplings and the mean photon number of the field.     

Effect of Induced Transition on the Quantum Entanglement and Coherence in Two-Coupled Double Quantum Dot System

Studying quantum properties in solid-state systems is a significant avenue for research. In this scenario, double quantum dots appear as a versatile platform for technological breakthroughs in quantum computation and nanotechnology. This work inspects the thermal entanglement and quantum coherence in two-coupled DODs, where the system is exposed to an external stimulus that induces an electronic transition within each subsystem. The results show that the introduction of external stimulus induces a quantum level crossing that relies upon the Coulomb potential changing the degree of quantum entanglement and coherence of the system. Thus, the quantum properties of the system can be tuned by changing the transition frequency, leading to the enhancement of its quantum properties.     

Degradation of Grover’s search under collective phase flips in queries to the oracle

We address the case in which querying the oracle in Grover’s algorithm is exposed to noise including phase distortions. The oracle-box wires can be altered by an opposing party that tries to prevent reception of correct data from the oracle. This situation reflects an experienced truth that any access to prophetic knowledge cannot be common and direct. To study this problem, we introduce a simple model of collective phase distortions on the basis of a phase-damping channel. In the model, the probability of success is not altered via the oracle-box wires per se. Phase distortions of the considered type can hardly be detected via any one-time query to the oracle. However, the probability of success is significantly changed when such errors are introduced as an intermediate step in the Grover iteration. We investigate the probability of success with respect to variations of the parameter that characterizes the amount of phase errors. It turns out that the probability of success decreases significantly even if the error is not very high. Moreover, this probability quickly reduces to the value of one half, which corresponds to the completely mixed state. We also study trade-off relations between quantum coherence and the probability of success in the presence of noise of the considered type.     

Coherence and Entropy of Credit Cycles across the Euro Area Candidate Countries

The pattern of financial cycles in the European Union has direct impacts on financial stability and economic sustainability in view of adoption of the euro. The purpose of the article is to identify the degree of coherence of credit cycles in the countries potentially seeking to adopt the euro with the credit cycle inside the Eurozone. We first estimate the credit cycles in the selected countries and in the euro area (at the aggregate level) and filter the series with the Hodrick–Prescott filter for the period 1999Q1–2020Q4. Based on these values, we compute the indicators that define the credit cycle similarity and synchronicity in the selected countries and a set of entropy measures (block entropy, entropy rate, Bayesian entropy) to show the high degree of heterogeneity, noting that the manifestation of the global financial crisis has changed the credit cycle patterns in some countries. Our novel approach provides analytical tools to cope with euro adoption decisions, showing how the coherence of credit cycles can be increased among European countries and how the national macroprudential policies can be better coordinated, especially in light of changes caused by the pandemic crisis.

Optical Information Processing by Synthesis of the Coherence Function–Selective Masking of 2-D Information by Synthesis of Notch-Shaped Coherence Function–

We have proposed an optical information processing system adopting synthesis of the optical coherence function by using direct frequency-modulation of a laser diode.1’ Optical coherence function having notch shape is discussed theoretically and experimentally. Applying the notch shaped coherence function to this system, to mask selectively a two-dimensional (2-D) information from a three-dimensional (3-D) object can be carried out. After showing the experimental results on selective masking, the performance deterioration factors are discussed in detail.     

高非线性光纤正常色散区利用皮秒脉冲产生超连续谱的相干特性

使用复互相干度的定义对时域光波分裂前后以及不同输入噪声、不同初始啁啾和波形下抽运脉冲在高非线性光纤中产生的超连续谱的相干度进行了数值计算,得到了光波分裂前后和不同输入噪声下生成的超连续谱的演化和相干性变化,结果表明:皮秒脉冲在高非线性光纤正常色散区产生超连续谱的相干性主要受到系统中噪声占比的影响,其中由光波分裂生成的频谱旁瓣的相干度低于由自相位调制生成的中心频谱的相干度:抽运脉冲啁啾和波形对在高非线性光纤正常色散区产生超连续谱的相干性的影响不明显,若想获得高相干的超连续谱,需要采用低噪声的脉冲进行抽运;若获得大谱宽高相干度的超连续谱,则需要合理选择皮秒脉冲的功率。     

Entanglement of Two Atoms Induced by a Fock State of Radiation Field

Considering the intrinsic decoherence proposed by Milburn, we investigate the entanglement between two two-level atoms induced by a Fock state of single-mode quantized radiation field. The time-dependent reduced density matrix of the atoms system is given explicitly. Due to the intrinsic decoherence, the atoms system will approach a stationary state, where the stationary entanglement depends on the initial states of the field and the atoms.
