量子环中量子比特的声子效应

在量子环中电子与体纵光学声子强耦合的情况下,通过求解能量本征方程,得出了电子的基态和第一激发态的本征能量及其波函数,进而以电子-声子系的基态与第一激发态构造了一个量子比特.数值计算结果表明量子比特内电子的空间概率密度分布随时间和空间角坐标作周期性振荡,且振荡周期随耦合强度的增大而减小,说明声子将导致量子比特相干性降低;还表明振荡周期随量子环内径（或外径）的增大而增大,因此适当改变量子环的尺度,可以提高量子比特的相干性. 关键词： 量子环 量子信息 量子比特

Grammar Theory Based on Quantum Logic

Motivated by Ying' work on automata theory based on quantum logic (Ying, M. S. (2000). International Journal of Therotical Physics, 39(4): 985–996; 39(11): 2545–2557) and inspired by the close relationship between the automata theory and the theory of formal grammars, we have established a basic framework of grammar theory on quantum logic and shown that the set of l-valued quantum regular languages generated by l-valued quantum regular grammars coincides with the set of l-valued quantum languages recognized by l-valued quantum automata.     

Science as social history

Quantum states of light, such as squeezed states or entangled states, can be used to make measurements (metrology), produce images, and sense objects with a precision that far exceeds what is possible classically, and also exceeds what was once thought to be possible quantum mechanically. The primary idea is to exploit quantum effects to beat the shot-noise limit in metrology and the Rayleigh diffraction limit in imaging and sensing. Quantum optical metrology has received a boost in recent years with an influx of ideas from the rapidly evolving field of optical quantum information processing. Both areas of research exploit the creation and manipulation of quantum-entangled states of light. We will review some of the recent theoretical and experimental advances in this exciting new field of quantum optical metrology, focusing on examples that exploit a particular two-mode entangled photon state – the High-N00N state.     

Alternative New Notation for Quantum Information Theory

The notation [Li, Song, and Luo (2002) Physics Letters A 297, 121] has been generalized to quantum information theory.

Entanglement and Quantity in Quantum Space-- About Quantum Measurement (Ⅱ)

As a continuation and extension of "quantity in phase space" "quantity in quantum space" is introduced. With that, the disappearing of quantum interference discussed in a previous paper [S. Dürr, et al., Nature 395 (1998) 33] is explained in the same spirit as our recent papers [Ren De-Ming, Commun. Theor. Phys. (Beijing, China) 41 (2004) 685, 833].     

Quantum Key Distribution Protocol Optimization

Quantum key distribution is a practically implementable cryptographic communication methodology from the hardware and software point of view. It is an information‐theoretic secure method for transmitting keys to remote partners practicing quantum communication. After examining various protocols from the most basic on, BBM92, DPSK, SARG04 and MDI (Measurement Device Independent) protocols are described in view of targeting the longest possible communication distance with the highest secret key bitrate. How any protocol can be optimized with respect to distance is discussed by analyzing the various steps impacting hardware and software that are developed, starting from the underlying assumptions proper to every protocol and ending with the corresponding performance in each case.     

A Novel Quantum Covert Channel Protocol Based on Any Quantum Secure Direct Communication Scheme

By analyzing the basic properties of unitary transformations used in a quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocol, we show the main idea why a covert channel can be established within any QSDC channel which employs unitary transformations to encode information. On the basis of the fact that the unitary transformations used in a QSDC protocol are secret and independent, a novel quantum covert channel protocol is proposed to transfer secret messages with unconditional security. The performance, including the imperceptibility, capacity and security of the proposed protocol are analyzed in detail.     

Noncommutative space-time models

The FRT quantum Euclidean spaces O _q ^N are formulated in terms of Cartesian generators. The quantum analogs of N-dimensional Cayley-Klein spaces are obtained by contractions and analytical continuations. Noncommutative constant-curvature spaces are introduced as spheres in the quantum Cayley-Klein spaces. For N = 5 part of them is interpreted as the noncommutative analogs of (1+3) space-time models. As a result the quantum (anti) de Sitter, Minkowski, Newton, Galilei kinematics with the fundamental length and the fundamental time are suggested. Presented at the International Colloquium “Integrable Systems and Quantum Symmetries”, Prague, 16–18 June 2005.     

Quantum Moment Hydrodynamics and the Entropy Principle

This paper presents how a non-commutative version of the entropy extremalization principle allows to construct new quantum hydrodynamic models. Our starting point is the moment method, which consists in integrating the quantum Liouville equation with respect to momentum p against a given vector of monomials of p. Like in the classical case, the so-obtained moment system is not closed. Inspired from Levermore's procedure in the classical case,⁽²⁶⁾ we propose to close the moment system by a quantum (Wigner) distribution function which minimizes the entropy subject to the constraint that its moments are given. In contrast to the classical case, the quantum entropy is defined globally (and not locally) as the trace of an operator. Therefore, the relation between the moments and the Lagrange multipliers of the constrained entropy minimization problem becomes nonlocal and the resulting moment system involves nonlocal operators (instead of purely local ones in the classical case). In the present paper, we discuss some practical aspects and consequences of this nonlocal feature.
