Macroscopic Quantum Coherence in Antiferromagnetic Molecular Magnets

The macroscopic quantum coherence in a biaxial antiferromagnetic molecular magnet in the presence of magnetic field acting parallel to its hard anisotropy axis is studied within the two-sublattice model.On the basis of instanton technique in the spin-coherent-state path-integral representation,both the rigorous Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin exponent and pre-exponential factor for the ground-state tunnel splitting are obtained.We find that the quantum fluctuations around the classical paths can not only induce a new quantum phase previously reported by Chiolero and Loss (Phys.Rev.Lett.80(1998)169),but also have great influence on the intensity of the ground-state tunnel splitting.Those features clearly have no analogue in the ferromagnetic molecular magnets.We suggest that they may be the universal behaviors in all antiferromagnetic molecular magnets.The analytical results are complemented by exact diagonalization calculation.

Bell States and Two-Qubit Logic Gate with Superconducting Charge Qubits Coupling to a Nanomechanical Resonator

We propose a scheme for generating Bell states involving two SQUID-based charge qubits by coupling them to a nanomechanical resonator. We also show that it is possible to implement a two-qubit logic gate between the two charge qubits by choosing carefully the interaction time.     

Quantum Circuit Synthesis using a New Quantum Logic Gate Library of NCV Quantum Gates

Since Controlled-Square-Root-of-NOT (CV, CV^?) gates are not permutative quantum gates, many existing methods cannot effectively synthesize optimal 3-qubit circuits directly using the NOT, CNOT, Controlled-Square-Root-of-NOT quantum gate library (NCV), and the key of effective methods is the mapping of NCV gates to four-valued quantum gates. Firstly, we use NCV gates to create the new quantum logic gate library, which can be directly used to get the solutions with smaller quantum costs efficiently. Further, we present a novel generic method which quickly and directly constructs this new optimal quantum logic gate library using CNOT and Controlled-Square-Root-of-NOT gates. Finally, we present several encouraging experiments using these new permutative gates, and give a careful analysis of the method, which introduces a new idea to quantum circuit synthesis.     

Quantum Swap Gate with Molecular Ensembles via Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

We present a simple method to realize a swap gate at one step with two molecular ensembles in a stripline cavity. In this scheme, we can benefit from the enhancement of the coherent coupling and acquire a long coherent time with encoding qubits in different spin states of the rotational ground state in the molecular ensembles. As a by-product, a scheme to create an entangled state with one excitation stored in two ensembles is proposed.     

An Holistic Extension for Classical Logic via Quantum Fredkin Gate

An holistic extension for classical propositional logic is introduced in the framework of quantum computation with mixed states. The mentioned extension is obtained by applying the quantum Fredkin gate to non-factorizable bipartite states. In particular, an extended notion of classical contradiction is studied in this holistic framework.     

Quantum Discord of Two-Qubit in Dephasing Model

We evaluate the dynamics of two-qubit quantum discord(QD) under the classical phase noise. We compare the dynamics of QD with that of entanglement as measured with concurrence. The influence of mixture degree on the dynamics is also discussed. The results show that there is no simple relation between the quantum correlation and entanglement as seen that QD may be smaller or larger than entanglement, and QD is more robust than the entanglement.     

Quantum Fisher Information in Two-Qubit Pure States

In terms of quantum Fisher information (QFI), a quantity χ ² was introduced by Pezzé and Smerzi (Phys. Rev. Lett. 102 100401, 2009). They pointed out that the inequality χ ²<1 was a sufficient condition for multiparticle entanglement. For the two-qubit symmetric states, we found that the inequality χ ²<1 is a necessary and sufficient condition for entanglement and spin squeezing, and that χ ² is equal to the second kind of spin squeezing parameter x₂²\xi _{2}^{2}. For the two-qubit asymmetric states, it is only a sufficient condition. In order to make it a necessary and sufficient condition, we extend the concept of the QFI and χ ², and generalize the relations among the entanglement measurement, the spin squeezing parameters and χ ² in symmetric pure states to arbitrary pure states.

Dynamical Suppression of Decoherence in Two-Qubit Quantum Memory

In this paper, we have detailedly studied the dynamical suppression of the phase damping for the two-qubit quantum memory of Ising model by the quantum “bang-bang” technique. We find the sequence of periodic radio-frequency pulses repetitively to flip the state of the two-qubit system and quantitatively find that these pulses can be used to effectively suppress the phase damping decoherence of the quantum memory and freeze the system state into its initial state. The general sequence of periodic radio-frequency pulses to suppress the phase damping of multi-qubit of Ising model is also given.

Quantum Discord of Two-Qubit Thermal State in Hydrogen Atom

The geometric measure of quantum discord (GMQD) is used to study the quantum correlation in a two-qubit thermal state in hydrogen atom. External magnetic field can destroy the initial symmetry of the state and further change its degeneracy structure. The dependence of the quantum correlation on temperature and magnetic field is discussed.     

Quantum Discord for Two-Qubit System in a Symmetry-Broken Environment

In contrast with the entanglement, we study the quantum discord dynamics of the two-qubit system in a symmetry-broken environment consisting of a fermionic bath. The quantum discord decay induced by the bath is analysed. By considering the two qubits that are initially prepared in the different X-states, we find that the behaviors of quantum discord and entanglement are different, the robustness of quantum discord depends on the initial state prepared in.     

Quantum Correlations in a Family of Two-Qubit Separable States

Quantum correlations in a family of two-qubit separable classical-quantum correlated states are intensively studied with four different approaches, namely, quantum discord [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88 (2002) 017901], measurement- induced disturbance (MID) [Phys. Rev. A 77 (2008) 022301], ameliorated MID [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 (2011) 352002] and quantum dissonance [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104 (2010) 080501]. Quantum correlations captured with different approaches are compared and discussed so that their three distinct features are exposed.

Quantum Measurement of Two-Qubit System in Damping Noise Environment

It is known that the inevitable interaction of the entangled qubits with their environments may result in the degradation of quantum correlation.We study the decoherence of two remote qubits under general local single-and two-sided amplitude-damping channel(ADC).By using concurrence,quantum discord and Clauser-Horne-ShimonyHolt(CHSH)inequality,we find that the relation between the residual quantum correlations and the initial ones are different.Recently,Wang et al.[Int.J.Theor.Phys.54(2015)5]showed that there exist a set of partially entangled states that are more robust than maximally entangled states in terms of the residual quantum correlation measured by concurrence,fully entangled fraction and quantum discord,respectively.Here we find that both in single-and two-sided ADC,only the evolution of CHSH inequality with the initial parameter is proportional to that of the initial nonlocality.That means the initial state with maximally nonlocality will retain its role in the evolution.It implies that the evolution of nonlocality may reveal the characteristics of quantum state better.Furthermore,we discuss the evolutions of the three different quantum measurements with the initial parameter under generalized amplitude damping channel(GADC)and find that they are all proportional to that of the initial state.
