Entanglement-enhanced classical communication through an amplitude-damping channel

We consider the problem of trying to send a single classical bit through an amplitude-damping channel when two transmissions through the channel are available as a resource. It is demonstrated that two entangled transmissions can enhance the receiver's capability of making a correct inference under certain conditions compared with two product-state transmissions.

The modified mapping method is further improved by the expanded expression of u（ξ） that contains the terms of the first-order derivative of function f（ξ）. Some new exact solutions to the mBBM equation are determined by means of the method. We can obtain many new solutions in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions of the equation.     

Probabilistic Teleportation of Three-Atom State via Five-Atom Cluster State

A scheme for probabilistic teleportation of an unknown three-atom entangled state via a five-atom non-maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel is proposed. In this scheme, the sender performs two Bell state and a single-atom measurements on the atoms, the receiver can reconstruct the original state with a certain probability by introducing an auxiliary atom and operating appropriate unitary transformations and controlled-not (C-not) operations according to the sender Alice's measurement results. As a result, the probability of successful teleportation is determined by the smallest two of the coefficients'absolute values of the cluster state. The considerable advantage of our scheme is that we employ a non-maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel in the scheme, which can greatly reduce the amount of entanglement resources and need less classical bits. If we employ a maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel, the probabilistic teleportation scheme becomes usual teleportation, the successful probability being 100%.     

Entanglement-enhanced classical communication over a noisy classical channel

We present and experimentally demonstrate a communication protocol that employs shared entanglement to reduce errors when sending a bit over a particular noisy classical channel. Specifically, it is shown that given a single use of this channel, one can transmit a bit with higher success probability when the sender and receiver share entanglement compared to the best possible strategy when they do not. The experiment is realized using polarization-entangled photon pairs, whose quantum correlations play a critical role in both the encoding and decoding of the classical message. Experimentally, we find that a bit can be successfully transmitted with probability 0.891±0.002, which is close to the theoretical maximum of (2+2(-1/2))/3≈0.902 and is significantly above the optimal classical strategy, which yields 5/6≈0.833.     

Implementation of nonlocal quantum swap operation on two entangled pairs

We propose a scheme for the implementation of nonlocal quantum swap operation on two spatially separated entangled pairs and we show that the operation can swap two qubits of these entangled pairs.We discuss the resources of the entangled qubits and classical communication bits required for the optimal implementation of the nonlocal quantum swap operation.We also put forward a scheme for probabilistic implementation of nonlocal swap operation via a nonmaximally entangled quantum channel.The probability of a successful nonlocal swap operation is obtained by introducing a collective unitary transformation.     

Entanglement enhanced bit rate over multiple uses of a lossy bosonic channel with memory

We present a study of the achievable rates for classical information transmission via a lossy bosonic channel with memory, using homodyne detection. A comparison with the memoryless case shows that the presence of memory enhances the bit rate if information is encoded in collective states, i.e., states which are entangled over different uses of the channel.     

Routing protocol for wireless quantum multi-hop mesh backbone network based on partially entangled GHZ state

Quantum multi-hop teleportation is important in the field of quantum communication. In this study, we propose a quantum multi-hop communication model and a quantum routing protocol with multihop teleportation for wireless mesh backbone networks. Based on an analysis of quantum multi-hop protocols, a partially entangled Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state is selected as the quantum channel for the proposed protocol. Both quantum and classical wireless channels exist between two neighboring nodes along the route. With the proposed routing protocol, quantum information can be transmitted hop by hop from the source node to the destination node. Based on multi-hop teleportation based on the partially entangled GHZ state, a quantum route established with the minimum number of hops. The difference between our routing protocol and the classical one is that in the former, the processes used to find a quantum route and establish quantum channel entanglement occur simultaneously. The Bell state measurement results of each hop are piggybacked to quantum route finding information. This method reduces the total number of packets and the magnitude of air interface delay. The deduction of the establishment of a quantum channel between source and destination is also presented here. The final success probability of quantum multi-hop teleportation in wireless mesh backbone networks was simulated and analyzed. Our research shows that quantum multi-hop teleportation in wireless mesh backbone networks through a partially entangled GHZ state is feasible.     

基于cluster态的信道容量可控的可控量子安全直接通信方案

提出了一种基于五粒子cluster态的信道容量可控的可控量子安全直接通信方案.通信三方利用五粒子cluster态自身的粒子分布情况,结合诱骗光子,对粒子分别做Z基单粒子测量和Bell基测量,便可完成信道的第一次安全性检测.通信控制方Cindy通过对手中的粒子序列随机选用测量基(Z基或者X基)测量来决定信道容量,并通过经典信道公布结果.发送方Alice将要发送的信息以及校检信息用于对手中的粒子序列进行幺正操作编码,并插入诱骗光子后将编码后的粒子序列发给接收方Bob并通过经典信道告知其诱骗光子的位置信息.Bob接收到粒子序列后,按照经典信道Alice发送的信息,结合Cindy公布的信息,剔除诱骗光子后按照一定的规则对手中的两组粒子序列进行Bell基测量,便可解码完成第二次安全性检测以及得到Alice发送的信息.通过对五粒子cluster态的纠缠结构性质进行分析,阐明了五粒子cluster态在该方案中所表现出的特点的物理缘由.结果表明,只需变化测量基的规则和用于编码的粒子,可以将该方案推广成可控双向量子安全直接通信.     

量子纠缠与经典关联在双光子关联成像中的作用

关联成像引起了人们广泛的兴趣,特别是,二阶关联成像是一种纯粹的量子效应还是也可能是一种经典效应还存在争议.本文分析了三种关联成像方案,其中前两种方案中用经典关联和量子纠缠的双光子光源都能成像,而第三种只能用量子纠缠的双光子光源才能成像.对比发现,纠缠双光子同时存在动量和坐标两个自由度上的关联,在三种成像方案中都可用作光源.而经典关联的双光子不具有动量和坐标的双重关联,而仅仅存在其中一种关联(经典关联),关联成像的方式也因此受到限制.     

Non-local implementation of single-qubit rotation operation

We present two optimal schemes for non-local inplementing a single-qubit rotation operation via a maximally entangled quantum channel. We report on the quantitative relations between the quantum action,entangled and classical communication resources required in the implementation. We also put forward two schemes for conclusive implementing the non-local quantum single-qubit rotation via a partially entangled quantum channel. Both these methods can appropriately be referred to as qubit-assisted processes.

The considerable advantage of our scheme is that we employ a non-maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel in the scheme, which can greatly reduce the amount of entanglement resources and need less classical bits.     

Coherent information losses between two-qubit pair interacting with an environment

We quantify the amount of information exchanged between a system of two qubit pair and the environment. We find that there is a good chance for an Eavesdropper to distill information from the entangled qubits. This chance decreases for less entangled qubits. In particular, we considered two examples: The first is an entangled pure two qubit state and the second an entangled state from two cavities, with a depolarizing channel as an environment. Also the effect of decoherence due to the channel parameter is studied.

The two-atom maximally entangled state can be successfully prepared between two distant parties with a success probability of 100%. The successful total probability and classical communication cost are calculated.     

Classical and quantum communication without a shared reference frame

We show that communication without a shared reference frame is possible using entangled states. Both classical and quantum information can be communicated with perfect fidelity without a shared reference frame at a rate that asymptotically approaches one classical bit or one encoded qubit per transmitted qubit. We present an optical scheme to communicate classical bits without a shared reference frame using entangled photon pairs and linear optical Bell state measurements.
