Splitting Single-Photon Polarization State with Weak Cross–Kerr Nonlinearity

We propose a three-party scheme for quantum information splitting(QIS) of an arbitrary single-photon polarization state based on weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity combined with linear optics elements such as polarization beam splitters(PBSs) and half wave plates(HWPs). The scheme is generalized to the arbitrary-party case. With the help of quantum nondemolition(QND) measurements, our schemes can be accomplished in an almost deterministic way. The two schemes are feasible with the current technology.     

Realization of Bipartite Positive-Operator-Value Measurements of Two-Photon Polarization States

In this letter, we propose a scheme of a special quantum optical Fredkin gate assisted by optical manip- ulations and postselection from the coincidence measurements, and then modify it with cross-Kerr nonlinearities to be suitable for the realization of all possible positive operator-valued measurements of bipartite polarization states. This scheme is feasible in the lab with the current experimental technology.     

Generation of Four-Photon Cluster State with Coherent Light via Cross-Kerr Nonlinearity

We propose two schemes for preparing four-photon cluster state through cross-Kerr nonlinearity. Two coherent fields interact when they enter a nonlinear Kerr medium. If the interaction time is chosen appropriately in each Kerr medium, four-photon cluster state can be generated based on the results of two homodyne detectors in the first scheme. These schemes only use Kerr medium and homodyne measurements on coherent light fields, which can be effciently made in quantum optical laboratories. In addition, weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity is sufficient. All of the properties make these schemes feasible in experiments.     

Two-qubit and three-qubit controlled gates with cross-Kerr nonlinearity

Schemes for two-qubit and three-qubit controlled gates based on cross-Kerr nonlinearity are proposed in this paper.The probability of the success of these gates can be increased by quantum nondemolition detectors,which are used to judge which paths the signal photons pass through.These schemes are almost deterministic and require no ancilla photon.The advantages of these gates over the existing ones include less resource consumption and a higher probability of success,which make our schemes more feasible with current technology.

Splitting an Arbitrary Three-Qubit State via a Five-Qubit Cluster State and a Bell State

Quantum information splitting (QIS) provides an idea for transmitting the quantum state through a classical channel and a preshared quantum entanglement resource. This paper presents a new scheme for QIS based on a five-qubit cluster state and a Bell state. In this scheme, the sender transmits the unknown three-qubit secret state to two agents by the quantum channel with the Bell basis measurement three times and broadcasts the measurement results to the agents through the classical channel. The agent who restores the secret state can successfully recover the initial information to be transmitted through the appropriate unitary operation with the help of the other party. Firstly, our scheme’s process can be accurately realized by performing the applicable Bell basis measurement, single-qubit measurement, and local unitary operation instead of a multiparticle joint measurement. The splitting process of quantum information is realized through a convenient operation. Secondly, compared with some previous schemes, the efficiency of the total scheme has been improved in principle, and the qubit consumption is reduced. Finally, the security of the quantum information splitting scheme is analyzed from the perspectives of external attacks and participant attacks. It is proved that our scheme can effectively resist internal participant attacks and external eavesdropper attacks.     

Implementation of nonlocal Bell-state measurement and quantum information transfer with weak Kerr nonlinearity

We propose a protocol to implement the nonlocal Bell-state measurement, which is nearly determinate with the help of weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities and quantum non-destructive photon number resolving detection. Based on the nonlocal Bell-state measurement, we implement the quantum information transfer from one place to another. The process is different from conventional teleportation but can be regarded as a novel form of teleportation without entangled channel and classic communication.     

Quantum Information Splitting of an Arbitrary Three-Qubit State by Using Cluster States and Bell States

A new application of cluster states is investigated for quantum information splitting (QIS) of an arbitrary three-qubit state. In our scheme, a four-qubit cluster state and a Bell state are shared by a sender (Alice), a controller (Charlie), and areceiver (Bob). Both the sender and controller only need to perform Bell-state measurements (BSMs), the receiver can reconstruct the arbitrary three-qubit state by performing some appropriately unitary transformations on his qubits after he knows the measured results of both the sender and the controller. This QIS scheme is deterministic.     

Simplified Four-Qubit Cluster State for Splitting Arbitrary Single-Qubit Information＊

The simplified four-qubit cluster state （i.e., （｜0000〉 ＋ ｜0011〉 ＋ ｜1100〉 -｜1111〉）/2） is explored for splitting an arbitrary single-qubit quantum information （QI）. Various feasible distributions of the four qubits among the Q,I sender and receivers for tri-splitting or hi-splitting are found out. For the distribution representations the corresponding splitting schemes and their LOCCs （local operation and classical communication） are presented amply while others are mentioned concisely.     

Quantum Information Splitting of an Arbitrary Three-Atom State by Using W-class States in Cavity QED

We demonstrate that four sets of W-class states can be used to realize the deterministic quantum information splitting of an arbitrary three-atom state in cavity QED. The scheme does not involve Bell-state measurement and is insensitive to both the cavity decay and the thermal field.     

Normal‐Mode Splitting in a Weakly Coupled Electromechanical System with a Mechanical Modulation

Normal‐mode splitting (NMS) is one of the most significant manifestations of strongly coupled systems. Here, NMS is shown to occur in a weakly coupled electromechanical system. In this system, an exponentially enhanced electromechanical coupling is obtained by periodically modulating the electromechanical interaction and the mechanical spring constant. Under the mechanical modulation, an obvious NMS can occur in the fluctuation spectra of the mechanical oscillator's displacement and the output field. Besides, the Stokes and anti‐Stokes fields can also display an obvious NMS. Interestingly, the Stokes field can be changed from full absorption to significant amplification, and the anti‐Stokes field can also be enhanced significantly. Another novel feature of the results is that the intensity between the two peaks in NMS is almost zero, which means that the two peaks can be well resolved in experiments. This work presents an effective method for the generation of a well‐resolved NMS in a weakly coupled system.     

Schemes for Splitting Quantum Information with Four-Particle Genuine Entangled States

We propose two schemes for splitting single- and two-qubit states by using four-particle genuine entangled state as the quantum channel. After the sender performs Bell-basis （or three-partite GHZ- basis） measurements on her particles, and the cooperators operate single-particle measurements on their particles, the state receiver can reconstruct the original state of the sender by applying the appropriate unitary operation. In particular, in the scheme for splitting two-qubit state, the receiver needs to introduce an auxiliary particle and carries out a C-NOT operation.

Ultra‐fast heralded single photon source based on telecom technology

The realization of an ultra‐fast source of heralded single photons emitted at the wavelength of 1540 nm is reported. The presented strategy is based on state‐of‐the‐art telecom technology, combined with off‐the‐shelf fiber components and waveguide non‐linear stages pumped by a 10 GHz repetition rate laser. The single photons are heralded at a rate as high as 2.1 MHz with a heralding efficiency of 42%. Single‐photon character of the source is inferred by measuring the second‐order autocorrelation function. For the highest heralding rate, a value as low as 0.023 is found. This not only proves negligible multi‐photon contributions but also represents one of the best measured values reported to date for heralding rates in the MHz regime. These performances, associated with a device‐like configuration, are key ingredients for both fast and secure quantum communication protocols.

     

Logic Bell state concentration with parity check measurement

Logic qubit plays an important role in current quantum communication. In this paper, we propose an efficient entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for a new kind of logic Bell state, where the logic qubit is the concatenated Greenber–Horne–Zeilinger (C-GHZ) state. Our ECP relies on the nondemolition polarization parity check (PPC) gates constructed with cross-Kerr nonlinearity, and can distill one pair of maximally entangled logic Bell state from two same pairs of less-entangled logic Bell states. Benefit from the nondemolition PPC gates, the concentrated maximally entangled logic Bell state can be remained for further application. Moreover, our ECP can be repeated to further concentrate the less-entangled logic Bell state. By repeating the ECP, the total success probability can be effectively increased. Based on above features, this ECP may be useful in future long-distance quantum communication.     

利用三粒子W态隐形传送三粒子GHZ态

提出一个三粒子GHZ(Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger)态从发送者传送给两个接收者中任意一个的量子隐形传送方案。此方案用两个三粒子W态作为量子信道。若发送者进行两次贝尔态测量和阿达码门操作,想得到所需传送的三粒子GHZ态的接收者引进一个辅助粒子,进行控制-非操作,同时根据另一个接收者的测量结果实施一个适当的幺正变换操作,可以一定的概率成功地隐形传送三粒子GHZ态。同时,此方案可推广至隐形传送n粒子GHZ态,这时也只需用两个三粒子W态作为量子信道,但这时想得到所需传送的n粒子GHZ态的接收者需引进(n-2)个辅助粒子,进行(n-2)次控制非操作,同时根据另一个接收者的测量结果实施一个适当的幺正变换操作,可以一定的概率成功地隐形传送n粒子GHZ态。
