Probabilistic teleportation of a non-symmetric three-particle state

This paper proposes a scheme for teleporting a kind of essential three-particle non-symmetric entangled state, which is much more valuable than a GHZ and W state for some applications in quantum information processing. In comparison with previous proposal of teleportation, the resources of entangled states as quantum channel and the number of classical messages required by our scheme can be cut down. Moreover, it is shown that there exists a class of transformations which ensure the success of this scheme, because the two-particle transformation performed by the receiver in the course of teleportation may be a generic two-particle operation instead of a control-NOT (CNOT) operation. In addition, all kinds of transformations performed by sender and receiver are given in detail.     

Tripartite Nonlinear Entangled State Representations in Quantum Mechanics

Based on the technique of integral within an ordered product of nonlinear bosonic operators we construct a kind of tripartite nonlinear entangled states, which can make up a complete set. As its application, we also derive nonlinear 3-mode charge-related entangled state. The essential point for constructing these states lies in choosing the appropriate charge operator.     

MJ and collision energy dependent attenuation of Rg (3P2) by CF3Br

The total attenuation cross-section of Rg (³P₂) (Rg = Ar, Kr) by the collision with CF₃Br is measured as a function of the magnetic sub level M_J of Rg (³P₂) and the collision energy. For Ar (³P₂), the attenuation process indicates a M_J dependence, in particular, the cross-section of the M_J = 0 state is lower compared with that for other states. On the other hand, Kr (³P₂) shows no M_J dependent attenuation.     

Generation of hyperentangled four-photon cluster state via cross-Kerr nonlinearity

We propose a scheme for generating a hyperentangled four-photon cluster state that is simultaneously entangled in polarization modes and spatial modes. This scheme is based on linear optical elements, weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity, and homodyne detection. Therefore, it is feasible with current experimental technology.     

SRPES investigation of tungsten oxide in different oxidation states

The microstructure and morphology of metal oxide films have a large influence on the sensitivity, selectivity and stability of the gas sensors and catalysts. Considering that the sensing properties of thin film sensors are strongly related to their microstructures and to the exact stoichiometry of their surfaces, an accurate control of these parameters is extremely important for the production of sensors with reproducible behavior. In this paper, an influence of preparation and annealing conditions on the physical and chemical properties of tungsten oxide thin film is investigated. Two types of samples having polycrystalline structure were prepared by different methods (deposition under UHV conditions, oxidation of metallic tungsten layer in air). The samples were reduced by heating in UHV at different temperatures and/or by Ar ion bombardment. It was found that the stability of tungsten oxide layer with respect to the treatment procedures depends strongly on the preparation conditions of the sample. The reduction process is discussed in terms of different oxidation states resolved in the W4f photoelectron spectrum. Easy reducibility of the tungsten oxide layer prepared by vacuum deposition was found to be a consequence of its nano-crystalline structure.     

Formations of n-order two-soliton bound states in Bose–Einstein condensates with spatiotemporally modulated nonlinearities

The formations of n-order two-soliton bound states (TSBSs) in the Bose–Einstein condensates with spatiotemporally modulated nonlinearities are studied. Exact analytical expressions of the n-order TSBSs are derived by means of the similarity transformations. Further, the numerical simulations are carried out, consistent with the analytical results very well. The stability analysis shows that the solutions can be stable. Our results indicate that the attractive spatiotemporal inhomogeneous nonlinearities can support n-order TSBSs, which has the potential applications to the generation of matter-wave bright solitons in harmonic traps.     

Ambiguous Discrimination of General Quantum Operations

We consider the problem of discriminating general quantum operations. Using the definition of mapping operator to vector, and by some calculating skills, we derive an explicit formulation as a new bound on the minimum-error probability for ambiguous discrimination between arbitrary m quantum operations. This formulation consists only of Kraus-operators, the dimension, and the priori probabilities of the discriminated quantum operations, and is independent of input states. To some extent, we further generalize the bounds on the minimum-error probability for discriminating mixed states to quantum operations.     

Generalized Bethe ansatz solution of a one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion process on a ring with blockage

We present a model for a one-dimensional anisotropic exclusion process describing particles moving deterministically on a ring of lengthL with a single defect, across which they move with probability 0 p 1. This model is equivalent to a two-dimensional, six-vertex model in an extreme anisotropic limit with a defect line interpolating between open and periodic boundary conditions. We solve this model with a Bethe ansatz generalized to this kind of boundary condition. We discuss in detail the steady state and derive exact expressions for the currentj, the density profilen(x), and the two-point density correlation function. In the thermodynamic limitL the phase diagram shows three phases, a low-density phase, a coexistence phase, and a high-density phase related to the low-density phase by a particle-hole symmetry. In the low-density phase the density profile decays exponentially with the distance from the boundary to its bulk value on a length scale . On the phase transition line diverges and the currentj approaches its critical valuej _c = p as a power law,j _c – j ^–1/2. In the coexistence phase the width of the interface between the high-density region and the low-density region is proportional toL ^1/2 if the density f 1/2 and=0 independent ofL if = 1/2. The (connected) two-point correlation function turns out to be of a scaling form with a space-dependent amplitude n(x₁, x₂) =A(x₂)A ^Ke^–r/ withr = x ₂ –x ₁ and a critical exponent = 0.
