Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用诱导纠缠突然死亡的控制

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a system composed of two non-interacting qubits, A and B. A third qubit, C, only has the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya （DM） spin-orbit interaction with qubit B. We find that the DM interaction can induce the entanglement sudden death （ESD） of the system qubits A and B, and properly mixing the initial state of the system and adjusting the state of qubit C are two effective methods of controlling ESD.     

Non-Markovian Effects on Entanglement Dynamics of Three Qubits

We investigate entanglement dynamics of three independent qubits each locally interacting with a zerotemperature non-Markovian reservoir. The effects of environment＇s amount of non-Markovianity or parameters in initial states on the three-qubit entanglement dynamics are presented in detail. It is found that the entanglement of such a system revives after a finite dark period when a proper degree of non-Markovian is present. A deep comparison to that in two-qubit system is also made.     

The effects of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on the ground-state properties of the XY chain in a transverse field

The effects of the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya (DM) interaction on the ground-state properties of the anisotropic XY chain in a transverse field have been studied by means of correlation functions and entanglement. Different from the case without the DM interaction, the excitation spectra εk of this model are not symmetrical in the momentum space and are not always positive. As a result, besides the ferromagnetic (FM) and the paramagnetic (PM) phases, a gapless chiral phase is induced. In the chiral phase, the von Neumann entropy is proportional to log2L (L is the length of a subchain) with the coefficient A ≈ 1/3, which is the same as that of the XY chain in a transverse field without the DM interaction for γ = 0 and 0 h ≤ 1. And in the vicinity of the critical point between the chiral phase and the FM (or PM) phase, the behaviors of the nearest-neighbor concurrence and its derivative are like those for the anisotropy transition.     

Effects of inhomogeneous magnetic fields and different Dzyaloshinskii- Moriya interaction on entanglement and teleportation in a two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ chain

In this paper we calculate the thermal entanglement and teleportation in a two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ chain with the different Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and inhomogeneous magnetic fields. The analytical expres- sions of the concurrence and the average fidelity are obtained for this model. We have shown that the quantum phase transition occurs in the system and the quantum phase transition point depends on the inhomogeneity of magnetic fields. We compare the x-component Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction with the z-component Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on the effects of quantum teleportation. It is found that we can take Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction as one of the effective control parameters for the teleportation manipulation.     

Sudden death and revival qubits coupled collectively of entanglement of two to a thermal reservoir

In this paper, we investigate the entanglement of two qubits coupled collectively to a common thermal environment and find that the the collective decay can lead to a revival of the entanglement that has already been destroyed. We also show that the ability of the system to revival entanglement relies on the mean photon number of the thermal environment and the degree of entanglement of the initial state.

Multi-state Quantum Teleportation via One Entanglement State

A multi-sender-controlled quantum teleportation scheme is proposed to teleport several secret quantum states from different senders to a distance receiver based on only one Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen （EPR） pair with controlled-NOT （CNOT） gates. In the present scheme, several secret single-qubit quantum states are encoded into a multi-qubit entangled quantum state. Two communication modes, i.e., the detecting mode and the message mode, are employed so that the eavesdropping can be detected easily and the teleported message may be recovered efficiently. It has an advantage over teleporting several different quantum states for one scheme run with more efficiency than the previous quantum teleportation schemes.     

A Note on Normal Forms of Quantum States and Separability

We study the normal form of multipartite density matrices. It is shown that the correlation matrix （CM） separability criterion can be improved from the normal form we obtained under filtering transformations. Based on CM criterion the entanglement witness is further constructed in terms of local orthogonal observables for both bipartite and multipartite systems.     

Controlling Entanglement Dynamics by Choosing Appropriate Ratio between Cavity-Fiber Coupling and Atom-Cavity Coupling

The entanglement characteristics including the so-called sudden death effect between two identical twolevel atoms trapped in two separate cavities connected by an optical fiber are studied. The results show that the time evolution of entanglement is sensitive not only to the degree of entanglement of the initial state but also to the ratio between cavity-fiber coupling （v） and atom-cavity coupling （g）. This means that the entanglement dynamics can be controlled by choosing specific v and ft.     

Entanglement Evolution of Three-Qubit States under Local Decoherence

By using negativity as entanglement measure, we have investigated the effect of local decoherence from a non-Markovian environment on the time evolution of entanglement of three-qubit states including the GHZ state, the W state, and the Werner state. From the results, we find that the entanglement dynamics depends not only on the coupling strengths but also on the specific states of concern. Specifically, the entanglement takes different behaviors under weak or strong coupling and it varies with the quantum states under study. The entanglement of the GHZ state and the Werner state can be destroyed completely by the local decoherence, while the entanglement of the W state can survive through the local decoherence partially.     

Multiple Entropy Measures for Multi-particle Pure Quantum Statet

We propose to use a set of averaged entropies, the multiple entropy measures （MEMS）, to partially quantify quantum entanglement of multipartite quantum state. The MEMS is vector-like with m = [N/2] components： [S1, S2,..., Sm], and the i-th component Si is the geometric mean of i-qubits partial entropy of the system. The Si measures how strong an arbitrary i qubits from the system are correlated with the rest of the system. It satisfies the conditions for a good entanglement measure. We have analyzed the entanglement properties of the GHZ-state, the W-states, and cluster-states under MEMS.     

Controlled Teleportation of Multi-qutrit Quantum Information by Swapping Entanglement

We present a scheme for teleporting multi-qutrit quantum information from a sender to a receiver via the control of many agents in a network. Agents＇s control parameters are obtained via quantum entanglement swapping. In our scheme, Zhang and Man＇s QSS protocol [Phys. Rev. A 72 （2005） 022303] based on Bell-state entanglement swapping is generalized to a qutrit case. Our scheme owns the advantage of having higher code capacity and better security than the work [Commun. Theor. Phys. 44 （2005） 847] on controlled teleportation for multi-qubit.     

Statistical Entropy of an Acoustic Black Hole in Bose–Einstein Condensates

The entanglement entropy of an acoustic black hole in a Bose-Einstein condensates （BEC） is derived, which is associated with the phonons generated via the Hawking mechanism in a sonic hole. Considering the dispersion relation of a BEC, we recalculate the entanglement entropy of the acoustic black hole by means of statistical method in two limits. We find that the entropy is still proportional to the area of event horizon, but with a coefficient dependent on the infrared cutoff.     

Reexamining Security of Improved Multiparty Quantum Secret Splitting and Quantum State Sharing

In a recent letter [H.F. Wang, X. Ji, and S. Zhang, Phys. Lett. A 358 （2006） 11], an improvement of the multiparty quantum secret splitting and quantum state sharing protocol [F.G. Deng, et al., Phys. Lett. A 354 （2006） 190.] was presented. We study the security of the improved protocol and find that two or more dishonest participants may recover the secret from the dealer. Hence we further modify the improved protocol, which make it stand against this kind of attack.     

Quantum Secure Direct Intercommunication with Superdense Coding and Entanglement Swapping

A quantum secure direct intercommunication scheme is proposed to exchange directly the communicators＇ secret messages by making ase of swapping entanglement of Bell states. It has great capacity to distribute the secret messages since these messages have been imposed on high-dimensional Bell states via the local unitary operations with superdense coding. The security is ensured by the secure transmission of the travel sequences and the application of entanglement swapping.     

Correlations in Werner States

Werner states are paradigmatic examples of quantum states and play an innovative role in quantum information theory. In investigating the correlating capability of Werner states, we find the curious phenomenon that quantum correlations, as quantified by the entanglement of formation, may exceed the total correlations, as measured by the quantum mutual information. Consequently, though the entanglement of formation is so widely used in quantifying entanglement, it cannot be interpreted as a consistent measure of quantum correlations per se if we accept the folklore that total correlations are measured （or rather upper bounded） by the quantum mutual information.     

Promote entanglement trapping in photonic band gaps

We study the entanglement trapping of two entangled qubits, each of which is in its own photonic band gap, based on the weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal. An almost maximal entanglement of the two-qubit system can be trapped by using a certain weak measurement strength. Furthermore, we find that the optimal entanglement enhancing is not only dependent on the weak measurement strength but also on the different initial states. The outcomes in our scheme are completely different from that without any measurement on the studied system.     

Quantum Information Processing in a Coupled Cavity Array

We consider a one-dimensional array of L identical coupled cavities, and each cavity is doped with a two-level qubit. Experimentally, it has been developed in several varieties by the newest technology. We find that the one-qubit quantum state can be perfectly transferred through the cavity array, and the entanglement between the first two qubits can also be transferred to the last two qubits. In addition, we successfully realized the entangling gate and swap gate in the coupled cavity array.     

Quantum phase transitions in matrix product states of one-dimensional spin-1 chains

We present a new model of quantum phase transitions in matrix product systems of one-dimensional spin-1 chains and study the phases coexistence phenomenon. We find that in the thermodynamic limit the proposed system has three different quantum phases and by adjusting the control parameters we are able to realize any phase, any two phases equal coexistence and the three phases equM coexistence. At every critical point the physical quantities including the entanglement are not discontinuous and the matrix product system has long-range correlation and N-spin maximal entanglement. We believe that our work is helpful for having a comprehensive understanding of quantum phase transitions in matrix product states of one-dimensional spin chains and of certain directive significance to the preparation and control of one-dimensional spin lattice models with stable coherence and N-spin maximal entanglement.     

Quantum phase transitions in matrix product states of one-dimensional spin-1/2 chains

For the matrix product system of a one-dimensional spin-1/2 chain, we present a new model of quantum2 phase transitions and find that in the thermodynamic limit, both sides of the critical point are respectively described by phases ｜Ψa 〉=｜1··· 1 representing all particles spin up and ｜Ψb 〉=｜0··· 0 representing all particles spin down, while the phase transition point is an isolated intermediate-coupling point where√ the two phases coexist equally, which is2 described by the so-called N-qubit maximally entangled GHZ state ｜Ψpt =√2/2（｜1··· 1 ＋｜0··· 0）. At the critical point,2the physical quantities including the entanglement are not discontinuous and the matrix product system has longrange correlation and N-qubit maximal entanglement. We believe that our work is helpful for having a comprehensive understanding of quantum phase transitions in matrix product states of one-dimensional spin chains and of potential directive significance to the preparation and control of one-dimensional spin lattice models with stable coherence and N-qubit maximal entanglement.
