Decoherence and Fidelity in Teleportation of Coherent Photon-Added Two-Mode Squeezed Thermal States

We theoretically introduce a kind of non-Gaussian entangled resources, i.e., coherent photon-added two-mode squeezed thermal states (CPA-TMSTS), by successively performing coherent photon addition operation to the two-mode squeezed thermal states. The normalization factor related to bivariate Hermite polynomials is obtained. Based upon it, the nonclassicality and decoherence process are analyzed by virtue of the Wigner function. It is shown that the coherent photon addition operation is an effective way in generating partial negative values of Wigner function, which clearly manifests the nonclassicality and non-Gaussianity of the target states. Additionally, the fidelity in teleporting coherent states using CPA-TMSTS as entangled resource is quantified both analytically and numerically. It is found that the CPA-TMSTS is an entangled resource of high-efficiency and high-fidelity in quantum teleportation.     

Preparation of Highly Squeezed States and Multi—component Entangled Coherent States via the Raman Interaction

A method is presented for generating highly squeezed states of a cavity field via the atom-cavity field interaction of the Raman type.In the scheme a sequence of three-level Λ-type atoms interacts with a cavity field,displaced by a classical source,in a Raman manner.Then the atomic states are measured.By this way the cavity field may collapse onto a superposition of several coherent states,which exhibits strong squeezing.The scheme can also be used to prepare superpositions of many two-mode coherent states for two cavity fields.The coherent states in each mode are on a straight line.This is the first way for preparing multi-component entangled coherent states of this type in cavity QED.     

Spin Squeezed States and Entangled States

The time evolution of spontaneous decay of a two-level atom in one dimension photonic crystals is investigated with three different methods ： （ 1 ） using the Markovian approximation, （2） using the constant approximation, and （3） without using any of the two approximations. The second and third methods are Non-Markovian, which yield similar results. The second method gives us a clear physical picture of the effect of the reflected field. The Non- Markovian processes due to the reflected field have great influence on the atomic decay mainly within one tenth of an optical cycle, and reach steady state influence fter one optical cycle. The result of Markovian approximation gives almost the same result of the other two methods after one optical cycle, but misses the details within the one optical cycle.

纠缠相干态的纠缠浓缩

利用线性光学元器件对光场量子态进行操纵,可以实现远程的量子纠缠调控和量子通讯.通过分析光学分束器对相干态光场的作用,发现当初始光场态是两个两部分纠缠态的直乘时,让其中的两模通过光学分束器作用后再对其进行光子计数,另外两模将会塌缩到新的纠缠态.基于这个特点,提出了一个实现部分纠缠相干态纠缠浓缩的方案.在这个方案中,两个部分纠缠相干态被用来作为量子信道,通过光学分束器作用后对光场进行光子数探测时,如果测量到光场的两模分别处于奇光子数态和零光子数态,则光场另外的两模将塌缩到最大纠缠态,从而完成纠缠浓缩的过程.计算结果表明,对于纠缠相干态,无论其初始的纠缠是多么微弱,利用这种方法总有一定的几率可以从中提纯出最大纠缠态.     

Effect of Phase-Sensitive Reservoir on the Decoherence of Pair-Cat Coherent States

We study the decoherence of a superposition of four coherent states under the action of a phase sensitive reservoir. We verify that the decoherence times _k,l, k,l=1,2,3,4, between any two coherent states of the superposition can be controlled through the reservoir parameters. The decoherence time between two components of any pair, for instance _1,2 or _3,4, can be significantly increased, compared with the decoherence time when the state is acted by a thermal reservoir. However, this occurs at the expense of decreasing the decoherence time between the ``cat states" (1,2) and (3,4). This can be useful in quantum computation.

Generation of Entangled Coherent States in Circuit-QED

We study theoretically the generation of entangled states of microwaves in a circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) system. Our system includes a transmission-line resonator and a Cooper-pair box which acts as an artificial atom. It is shown that in the dispersive regime of the circuit-QED system, a cross-Kerr interaction can be obtained by properly preparing the initial state of the qubit. Based on this cross-Kerr interaction, we show that the coherent coupling of the two lowest-lying cavity modes through the qubit can generate a macroscopic entangled state.

Nonclassical Properties of Excited Entangled Coherent States

Single-mode excited entangled coherent states (SMEECSs) is a new kind of continuous-variable-type entangled pure states. In this paper, we investigate nonclassical properties of the SMEECSs, and focus on discussing the influence of photon excitations on quantum statistics. It is shown that the photon excitations excitated the nonclassical character amount of the SMEECS for some certain cases.     

Continuous-Variable Quantum Teleportation of Entangled Coherent States

We propose a quantum teleportation scheme for tripartite entangled coherent state （ECS） with continuous variable. Our scheme is feasible and economical in the sense that we need only linear optical devices such as beam splitters, phase shifters and photon detectors and employ three bipartite maximally ECSs as quantum channels. We also generalize the tripartite scheme into multipartite ease and calculate the minimum average fidelity for the schemes in tripartite and multipartite cases.     

Production of the Superposition of Nonlinear Coherent States and Entangled Nonlinear Coherent States

In this paper, by using the parity operator as well as the nonlinear displacement-type operator, we define new operators which by the action of them on the vacuum state of the radiation field, superposition of two nonlinear coherent states and two-mode entangled nonlinear coherent states are generated. Also, we show that via the generalization of the presented method, the superposition of more than two nonlinear coherent states and n-mode entangled nonlinear coherent states can be generated.     

On Quantum Discord for Analyzing Decoherence Effect and Deformation Phenomena in Entangled Coherent Bipartite State

We investigate the dynamics of the entanglement mainly the quantum correlation which evolves under the effects of decoherence in the framework 2×2 dimensional Hilbert space. A general formula for discord is determined as function of the deformation parameter, coherent amplitude and normalized decoherence time. It turns that, when the deformation tends toward the normal state, the classical discord formula is recovered under the same conditions. Considering different contexts and study cases, we find an approximation solution for the master equation regardless the deformation phenomena. Therefore, it may be helpful for choosing the most appropriate characteristics in order of realizing practical quantum information devices under realistic conditions.     

Amplitude-Damping Decoherence Suppression of Two-Qubit Entangled States by Weak Measurements

Taming decoherence is a critical issue in quantum information science. We here investigate amplitude-damping decoherence suppression of two-qubit entangled states by weak quantum measurements. It is shown that the weak measurements can effectively suppress the decoherence for different initial entangled states. More interestingly, we show that the weak measurements have different effects on the entanglement protection for two entangled states which are equivalent under a local unitary operation. This result implies that the entanglement protection effect could be modulated according to different demands.     

Decoherence of Entangled States Calculated by a Systematic Approximate Method

In this paper the coherent-state approximation （CA） method is used to deal with the problem of the decoherence of the entangled states of two two-state systems. As the base of the discussion, the dissipation of one two-state system has been investigated at first. The improved results calculated by CA are given in the paper. It is shown that the right approaching behavior and scaling law have been obtained when CA is applied to the problem of dissipation of two two-state systems coupled with environment. The whole evolution process and calculated results of the decoherence of the entangled states show also the scaling law, right approaching behavior, and rich phenomenon.     

Production of the Superposition of Nonlinear Coherent States and Entangled Nonlinear Coherent States

In this paper, by using the parity operator as well as the nonlinear displacement-type operator, we define new operators which by the action of them on the vacuum state of the radiation field, superposition of two nonlinear coherent states and two-mode entangled nonlinear coherent states are generated. Also, we show that via the generalization of the presented method, the superposition of more than two nonlinear coherent states and n-mode entangled nonlinear coherent states can be generated.     

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering for Mixed Entangled Coherent States

By using the Born Markovian master equation, we study the relationship among the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering, Bell nonlocality, and quantum entanglement of entangled coherent states (ECSs) under decoherence. We illustrate the dynamical behavior of the three types of correlations for various optical field strength regimes. In general, we find that correlation measurements begin at their maximum and decline over time. We find that quantum steering and nonlocality behave similarly in terms of photon number during dynamics. Furthermore, we discover that ECSs with steerability can violate the Bell inequality, and that not every ECS with Bell nonlocality is steerable. In the current work, without the memory stored in the environment, some of the initial states with maximal values of quantum steering, Bell nonlocality, and entanglement can provide a delayed loss of that value during temporal evolution, which is of interest to the current study.     

Practical Entanglement Concentration for Entangled Coherent States

Entangled coherent state (ECS) is quite important in current quantum communication and quantum computation. In this paper, we discuss two practical entanglement concentration protocols (ECPs) to recover the maximally ECSs from the partially ECSs. In the first ECP, the parties do not need to know the initial coefficients of the partially ECSs. In the second ECP, they should know the initial coefficients. Both protocols are based on the linear optics which make them feasible in current experiment. Especially, in the second ECP, they only require one pair of initial partially ECSs, which makes this ECP optimal. Both ECPs may be useful in current quantum information processing.
