Quantum state measurement in double quantum dots with a radio-frequency quantum point contact

We study the dynamics of two electron spins in coupled quantum dots （CQDs） monitored by a quantum point contact （QPC） detector. Their quantum state can be measured by embedding the QPC in an LC circuit. We derive the Bloch-type rate equations of the reduced density matrix for CQDs. Special attention is paid to the numerical results for the weak measurement condintion under a strong Coulomb interaction. It is shown that the evolution of QPC current always follows that of electron occupation in the right dot. In addition, we find that the output voltage of the circuit can reflect the evolution of QPC current when the circuit and QPC are approximately equal in frequency. In particular, the wave shape of the output voltage can be improved by adjusting the circuit resonance frequency and bandwidth.

Counterflow of electrons in two isolated quantum point contacts

We study the interaction between two adjacent but electrically isolated quantum point contacts (QPCs). At high enough source-drain bias on one QPC, the drive QPC, we detect a finite electric current in the second, unbiased, detector QPC. The current generated at the detector QPC always flows in the opposite direction than the current of the drive QPC. The generated current is maximal, if the detector QPC is tuned to a transition region between its quantized conductance plateaus and the drive QPC is almost pinched-off. We interpret this counterflow phenomenon in terms of an asymmetric phonon-induced excitation of electrons in the leads of the detector QPC.

Quantum private comparison of arbitrary single qubit states based on swap test

By using swap test, a quantum private comparison (QPC) protocol of arbitrary single qubit states with a semi-honest third party is proposed. The semi-honest third party (TP) is required to help two participants perform the comparison. She can record intermediate results and do some calculations in the whole process of the protocol execution, but she cannot conspire with any of participants. In the process of comparison, the TP cannot get two participants' private information except the comparison results. According to the security analysis, the proposed protocol can resist both outsider attacks and participants' attacks. Compared with the existing QPC protocols, the proposed one does not require any entanglement swapping technology, but it can compare two participants' qubits by performing swap test, which is easier to implement with current technology. Meanwhile, the proposed protocol can compare secret integers. It encodes secret integers into the amplitude of quantum state rather than transfer them as binary representations, and the encoded quantum state is compared by performing the swap test. Additionally, the proposed QPC protocol is extended to the QPC of arbitrary single qubit states by using multi-qubit swap test.     

Geometric phase of an open double-quantum-dot system detected by a quantum point contact

We study theoretically the geometric phase of a double-quantum-dot(DQD) system measured by a quantum point contact(QPC) in the pure dephasing and dissipative environments, respectively. The results show that in these two environments, the coupling strength between the quantum dots has an enhanced impact on the geometric phase during a quasiperiod. This is due to the fact that the expansion of the width of the tunneling channel connecting the two quantum dots accelerates the oscillations of the electron between the quantum dots and makes the length of the evolution path longer.In addition, there is a notable near-zero region in the geometric phase because the stronger coupling between the system and the QPC freezes the electron in one quantum dot and the solid angle enclosed by the evolution path is approximately zero,which is associated with the quantum Zeno effect. For the pure dephasing environment, the geometric phase is suppressed as the dephasing rate increases which is caused only by the phase damping of the system. In the dissipative environment,the geometric phase is reduced with the increase of the relaxation rate which results from both the energy dissipation and phase damping of the system. Our results are helpful for using the geometric phase to construct the fault-tolerant quantum devices based on quantum dot systems in quantum information.     

基于量子点接触的开放双量子点系统电子转移特性

基于量子点接触探测器(QPC)理论上研究了双量子点(DQD)系统在耗散环境和纯退相环境影响下的电子转移特性.结果表明,耗散环境中探测器导致的退相干会增大平均电流和Fano factor随时间演化的值,并观察到量子芝诺效应的存在.在对称的DQD情况下,弛豫减小了平均电流随时间演化的震荡振幅.在非对称的DQD情况下,弛豫降低了Fano factor随时间演化的峰值.纯退相环境中测量会阻碍共隧穿过程中不同电流通道之间的转换,导致Fano factor的极高值.在对称的DQD情况下,增大纯退相速率会提高Fano factor.在非对称的DQD情况下,动力学随时间的演化对纯退相环境不敏感.另外,还发现探测器内n个电子的转移几率只受QPC与DQD耦合的影响.我们的结论可以为实验工作者研究电子输运特性提供理论参考.     

Using a quantum dot as a high-frequency shot noise detector

We present the experimental realization of a quantum dot (QD) operating as a high-frequency noise detector. Current fluctuations produced in a nearby quantum point contact (QPC) ionize the QD and induce transport through excited states. The resulting transient current through the QD represents our detector signal. We investigate its dependence on the QPC transmission and voltage bias. We observe and explain a quantum threshold feature and a saturation in the detector signal. This experimental and theoretical study is relevant in understanding the backaction of a QPC used as a charge detector.

Elastic neutrino proton scattering and the structure of the neutral current

Optimal constraints on the structure of a general V, A hadronic neutral current are derived from neutrino proton scattering and compared with corresponding results from inclusive neutrino scattering and single pion production by neutrinos. For an arbitrary axial component of the neutral current, restrictions for the vector coupling constants are obtained. It is shown that the most general neutral current which can be related to charged weak and electromagnetic currents accounts for all existing data on neutrino hadron scattering. The neutral current coupling constants are determined for the pure isovector model, the Salam-Weinberg model and the bottom-quark model. All three models lead to practically the same isovector couplings but they differ in the strength of the isoscalar current.     

The Estimation of Multiple Light Scattering in Turbid Colloidal Suspensions using a 2-Probe Detector

This paper describes a detector for the direct measurement of multiple scattering in moderately turbid colloidal suspensions. The detector uses two optical fibers aligned so that one of the fibers measures the total signal (single and multiple scattering) and the other measures multiple scattering only. We report the results of preliminary investigations, and show how such a detector can be used to aid both static and dynamic light scattering investigations. In the former case we show how this information can be used to correct for low level multiple scattering. The utility and limitations of the technique are discussed.     

Tunable strength saddle-point contacts impact on quantum rings transmission

A particular subject of investigation is the role of several sadle-point contact (QPC) parameters on the scattering properties of an Aharonov–Bohm–Aharonov–Casher quantum ring (QR) under Rashba-type spin orbit interaction. We discuss the interplay of the conductance with the confinement strengths and height of the QPC, which yields new and tunable harmonic and non-harmonics patterns, while one manipulates these constriction parameters. This phenomenology may be of utility to implement a novel way to modulate spin interference effects in semiconducting QRs, providing an appealing test-platform for spintronics applications.

Multi-user quantum private comparison with scattered preparation and one-way convergent transmission of quantum states

Quantum private comparison (QPC) aims to accomplish the equality comparison of the secrets from different users without disclosing their genuine contents by using the principles of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we summarize eight modes of quantum state preparation and transmission existing in current QPC protocols first. Then, by using the mode of scattered preparation and one-way convergent transmission, we construct a new multi-user quantum private comparison (MQPC) protocol with two-particle maximally entangled states, which can accomplish arbitrary pair’s comparison of equality among K users within one execution. Analysis turns out that its output correctness and its security against both the outside attack and the participant attack are guaranteed. The proposed MQPC protocol can be implemented with current technologies. It can be concluded that the mode of scattered preparation and one-way convergent transmission of quantum states is beneficial to designing the MQPC protocol which can accomplish arbitrary pair’s comparison of equality among K users within one execution.

Effect of Quantum Point Contact Measurement on Electron Spin State in Quantum Dots

We study the time evolution of two electron spin states in a double quantum-dot system, which includes a nearby quantum point contact （QPC） as a measurement device. We find that the QPC measurement induced decoherence is in the microsecond timescale. We also find that the enhanced QPC measurement will trap the system in its initial spin states, which is consistent with the quantum Zeno effect.     

Jet production in e+e− collisions to order α3 and α4 and including QCD corrections

Cross sections for e⁺e^?→jet₁ + jet₂ + X are calculated to order α³ and α⁴ in the electromagnetic coupling and to arbitrary order in α_s in the leading logarithm approximation of QCD. Physically the processes included are the emission of hard protons from the incident e^± followed by annihilation, photon-proton scattering and deep inelastic scattering on an electron. The experimental separation of the mechanisms on the basis of their different event structure is discussed.     

Exakte Lösungen von Low-Gleichungen

The general solution of the Low equation for a family of two-dimensional crossingmatrices is constructed. It depends on 2 arbitrary functions and its Riemann surface has an infinity of distinct sheets. Furthermore a subclass of solutions of the 3dimensional and 4dimensional pseudoscalar symmetricπ-N scattering theory is constructed, the former depending on 2 arbitrary functions, the latter on 3. The criterion of minimal zeros in the scattering functions on the physical sheet is applied, to restrict this manyfold. In the threedimensional case the restricted solution depends on 2 parameters which may be interpreted as “coupling constant” and “cut off”. In the 4dimensional case the criterion of minimal zeros in the scattering functions gives a solution which depends on 5 parameters and thus is not uniquely determined by a “coupling constant” and a “cut off”.
