Remote preparation of an entangled two-qubit state with three parties

We present a scheme for probabilistic remote preparation of an entangled two-qubit state with three parties from a sender to either of two receivers. The quantum channel is composed of a paxtially entangled two-qubit state and a partially entangled three-qubit state. We calculate the successful total probabilities of the scheme in general and particular cases, respectively. We also calculate total classical communication cost in a general case and two particular cases, respectively.

Quantum state sharing of an arbitrary two-qubit state with two-photon entanglements and Bell-state measurements

Two schemes for sharing an arbitrary two-qubit state based on entanglement swapping are proposed with Bell-state measurements and local unitary operations. One is based on the quantum channel with four Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs shared in advance. The other is based on a circular topological structure, i.e., each user shares an EPR pair with his neighboring one. The advantage of the former is that the construction of the quantum channel between the agents is controlled by the sender Alice, which will improve the security of the scheme. The circular scheme reduces the quantum resource largely when the number of the agents is large. Both of those schemes have the property of high efficiency as almost all the instances can be used to split the quantum information. They are more convenient in application than the other schemes existing as they require only two-qubit entanglements and two-qubit joint measurements for sharing an arbitrary two-qubit state.     

Three-Party Quantum Information Splitting of an Arbitrary Two-Qubit State by Using Six-Qubit Cluster State

We propose a scheme for splitting an arbitrary two-qubit state among three parties by using a six-qubit cluster-class state as a quantum channel. Based on two Bell-state measurements (BSMs) and a two-qubit projective measurement, any one of the two agents can reconstruct the original state if he/she collaborates with the other one, whilst individual agent obtains no information.     

Quantum Information Splitting by Using Asymmetric Multi-particle State

We propose schemes for quantum information splitting by using asymmetric multi-particle entangled state. Explicit protocols for the quantum information splitting of a single-qubit state and a two-qubit entangled state via asymmetric three-particle entangled state are illustrated. The four-particle asymmetric entangled state are also used as quantum channel to split the unknown two-qubit entangled state. We also consider the security against certain eavesdropping attacks.     

Properties on the distant distribution of entanglement for arbitrary two-qubit pure states via noisy quantum channels

This paper investigates the change of entanglement for transmitting an arbitrarily entangled two-qubit pure state via one of three typical kinds of noisy quantum channels: amplitude damping quantum channel, phase damping quantum channel and depolarizing quantum channel. It finds, in all these three cases, that the output distant entanglement (measured by concurrence) reduces proportionately with respect to its initial amount, and the decaying ratio is determined only by the noisy characteristics of quantum channels and independent of the form of initial input state.     

Splitting Unknown Two-Qubit State Using Five-Qubit Entangled State

We present a tripartite quantum information splitting (QIS) protocol for splitting an arbitrary two-qubit state by using a five-qubit entangled state as quantum channel. We describe the construction of this channel and explicitly demonstrate how the QIS protocol works. We illustrate the procedure in the ion-trap systems, but the protocol can also be realized in other systems.

One-way Quantum Deficit and Decoherence for Two-qubit X States

We study one-way quantum deficit of two-qubit X states systematically from analytical derivations. An effective approach to compute one-way quantum deficit of two-qubit X states has been provided. Analytical results are presented as for detailed examples. Moreover, we demonstrate the decoherence of one-way quantum deficit under phase damping channel.     

Controlled Joint Remote State Preparation of an Arbitrary Equatorial Two-Qubit State

We propose a scheme for controlled joint remote state preparation of an arbitrary equatorial two-qubit state by using a seven-qubit entangled state as the quantum channel. In this scheme, two senders wish to help a receiver to remotely prepare an arbitrary equatorial two-qubit state, and the receiver can obtain the original quantum state with 100% success probability by performing the appropriate unitary operations.

     

Bidirectional Controlled Remote State Preparation of an Arbitrary Two-Qubit State

We propose a scheme of bidirectional controlled remote state preparation of an arbitrary two-qubit state, where a nine-qubit entangled state is used as the quantum channel. In our scheme, Alice and Bob can prepare simultaneously an arbitrary two-qubit state for each other’s place with the help of the controller Charlie. The total success probability for our scheme reaches 100%. PACS numbers 03.67.Hk, 03.65.Ud, 42.50.Dv.

     

Entanglement Dynamics of the Mixed Two-qubit System in Different Noisy Channels

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of the two-qubit entanglement quantum system when they transmitted through the Pauli channels and the depolarizing channel both independently or collectively. Making use of the concurrence we found that the entanglement of a kind of mixed two-qubit system defined in this paper can be preserved in the collective Pauli σ _y noise channel, but the entanglement of the other kind of mixed two-qubit system can be preserved in the collective Pauli σ _z noise channel. Meanwhile, our quantum systems will undergoing the entanglement sudden death (ESD) in collective depolarizing channel when they return to the maximally entangled Bell states. The reason is the Landblad operators in depolarizing channel are non-commuting operators and this finding is in accord with the previous study.     

Assisted Cloning and Orthogonal Complementing of an Arbitrary Unknown Two-Qubit State with χ-Type Entangled States

We propose a scheme for cloning an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state and its orthogonal complement state with the assistance from the state preparer. Our scheme includes two stages. The first stage requires a quantum teleportation process, in which an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state can be deterministically teleported from the sender to the receiver with χ-type entangled states as the quantum channel. In the second stage, with the assistance of the state preparer, either a perfect copy or an orthogonal complement state of an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state can be obtained with a certain probability.     

Simulating the effect of weak measurements by a phase damping channel and determining different measures of bipartite correlations in nuclear magnetic resonance

Quantum discord is a measure based on local projective measurements which captures quantum correlations that may not be fully captured by entanglement. A change in the measurement process, achieved by replacing rank-one projectors with a weak positive operator-valued measure (POVM), allows one to define weak variants of quantum discord. In this work, we experimentally simulate the effect of a weak POVM on a nuclear magnetic resonance quantum information processor. The two-qubit system under investigation is part of a three-qubit system, where one of the qubits is used as an ancillary to implement the phase damping channel. The strength of the weak POVM is controlled by varying the strength of the phase damping channel. We experimentally observed two weak variants of quantum discord namely, super quantum discord and weak quantum discord, in two-qubit Werner and Bell-diagonal states. The resultant dynamics of the states is investigated as a function of the measurement strength.     

Two-qubit pure state tomography by five product orthonormal bases

In this paper, we focus on two-qubit pure state tomography. For an arbitrary unknown two-qubit pure state, separable or entangled, it has been found that the measurement probabilities of 16 projections onto the tensor products of Pauli eigenstates are enough to uniquely determine the state. Moreover, these corresponding product states are arranged into five orthonormal bases. We design five quantum circuits, which are decomposed into the common gates in universal quantum computation, to simulate the five projective measurements onto these bases. At the end of each circuit, we measure each qubit with the projective measurement {|00 |,|1,1| }. Then, we consider the open problem whether three orthonormal bases are enough to distinguish all two-qubit pure states. A necessary condition is given. Suppose that there are three orthonormal bases {B_1,B_2,B_3}. Denote the unitary transition matrices from B_1 to {B_2,B_3 } as U1 and U2. All 32 elements of matrices U_1 and U_2 should not be zero. If not, these three bases cannot distinguish all two-qubit pure states.     

Methods of Constructing Quantum Channels for Teleporting a General Two-qubit State

By resorting to the tensor analysis, we derived an explicit CPM (channel parameter matrix) criterion based on the Bell state measurements. This criterion can be used to judge whether a four-qubit state can be employed as quantum channel or not for teleporting a general two-qubit state. According to this criterion, we presented a variety of quantum channels for faithful and deterministic teleportation of a general two-qubit state, which can provide more flexible choices for the experimenters.

Three-Party Quantum State Sharing of an Arbitrary Unknown Two-Qubit State Based on Entanglement Swapping and Bell-State Measurements

We propose a scheme for sharing an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state among three parties by using a four-qubit cluster-class state and a Bell state as a quantum channel. With a quantum controlled phase gate (QCPG) operation and a local unitaryoperation, any one of the two agents has the access to reconstruct the original state if he/she collaborates with the other one, whilst individual agent obtains no information. As all quantum resource can be used to carry the useful information, the intrinsic efficiency of qubits approaches the maximal value. Moreover, the present scheme is more feasible with present-day technique.     

Two-qubit entangled state teleportation via optimal POVM and partially entangled GHZ state

Quantum teleportation is of significant meaning in quantum information. In this paper, we study the probabilistic teleportation of a two-qubit entangled state via a partially entangled Greenberger- Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state when the quantum channel information is only available to the sender. We formulate it as an unambiguous state discrimination problem and derive exact optimal positive-operator valued measure (POVM) operators for maximizing the probability of unambiguous discrimination. Only one three-qubit POVM for the sender, one two-qubit unitary operation for the receiver, and two cbits for outcome notification are required in this scheme. The unitary operation is given in the form of a concise formula, and the fidelity is calculated. The scheme is further extended to more general case for transmitting a two-qubit entangled state prepared in arbitrary form. We show this scheme is flexible and applicable in the hop-by-hop teleportation situation.     

Robust Quantum Secure Direct Communication and Deterministic Secure Quantum Communication over Collective Dephasing Noisy Channel

We propose two schemes for quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) and deterministic secure quantum communication (DSQC) over collective dephasing noisy channel. In our schemes, four special two-qubit states are used as the quantum channel. Since these states are unchanged through the collective dephasing noisy channel, the effect of the channel noise can be perfectly overcome. Simultaneously, the security against some usual attacks can be ensured by utilizing the various checking procedures. Furthermore, these two schemes are feasible with present-day technique.
