非旋波近似下频率变化的光场对原子布居反转的调控

利用相干态正交化展开方法,在非旋波近似下研究了原子的布居反转随时间的演化情况.数值计算的结果表明了,场频以及耦合强度不随时间变化时,布居反转的周期随着平均光子数的增加而增大,虚光子效应引起的快速振荡随耦合强度的增大而逐渐增大.当光场随时间做正弦调制时,光场的振幅α和角频率β对布居反转的演化都会产生很大影响.光场随时间做方波形式变化,会导致原子布居反转出现新的塌缩回复现象.无论是正弦调制还是方波调制,都会对由虚光子效应产生的小锯齿状的振荡产生影响. 关键词： 相干态正交化展开 非旋波近似 原子布居数反转     

Controlled decoherence of floating flux qubits

In Born-Markov approximation,this paper calculates the energy relaxation time T 1 and the decoherence time T 2 of a floating flux qubit by solving the set of Bloch-Redfield equations.It shows that there are two main factors influencing the floating flux qubits:coupling capacitor in the circuit and the environment resistor.It also discusses how to improve the quantum coherence time of a qubit.Through shunt connecting/series connecting inductive elements,an inductive environment resistor is obtained and further the reactance component of the environment resistor is improved,which is beneficial to the enhancement of decoherence time of floating flux qubits.     

Quantum information transfer with Cooper-pair box qubits in circuit QED

We propose a feasible scheme to transfer quantum information with Cooper-pair box qubits arrayed in a circuit QED. Qubits interact with a quantum data bus generated by a one-dimensional transmission line resonator. Based on the Raman adiabatic passage, the cavity bus-assisted quantum population transfer between any selected pair of qubits can be controlled by addressing the applied gate pulses. Therefore, the scheme provides the possibility for effectively implementing scalable quantum information transfer with Josephson devices.

随时间变化的原子间耦合系数对T-C模型中场的光子统计性质影响

采用全量子化理论,在相互作用绘景中,研究了T-C模型中随时间变化的原子间耦合系数对系统的光子统计性质影响。结果发现:原子间的耦合会削弱原子与场间的相互作用;g取常数时,g值的增大使曲线的崩塌-复苏周期变长,且崩塌时间变长;当原子间耦合系数取为时间的函数g(t),且g(t)=Vsin(ωt),V为常数,ω为耦合系数变化的频率,ω的变化使g(t)对〈n∧(t)〉的演化曲线呈现出周期性的调制作用,曲线被调制出各种曲线图,这与g取常数时对〈n∧(t)〉演化曲线的影响明显不同。     

Quantum leakage of collective excitations of atomic ensemble induced by spatial motion

We generalize the conception of quantum leakage for the atomic collective excitation states. By making use of the atomic coherence state approach, we study the influence of the atomic spatial motion on the symmetric collective states of 2-level atomic ensemble due to inhomogeneous coupling. In the macroscopic limit, we analyze the quantum decoherence of the collective atomic state by calculating the quantum leakage for a very large ensemble at a finite temperature. Our investigations show that the fidelity of the atomic system will not be good in the case of atom numberN→∞. Therefore, quantum leakage is an inevitable problem in using the atomic ensemble as a quantum information memory. The detailed calculations shed theoretical light on quantum processing using atomic ensemble collective qubit.     

Rashba effect in an asymmetric quantum dot in a magnetic field

We derive an expression for the total spin-splitting energy in an asymmetric quantum dot with ferromagnetic contacts, subjected to a transverse electric field. Such a structure has been shown by one of us to act as a spintronic quantum gate with in-built qubit readers and writers (Phys. Rev. B61, 13813 (2000)). The ferromagnetic contacts result in a magnetic field that causes a Zeeman splitting of the electronic states in the quantum dot. We show that this Zeeman splitting can be finely tuned with a transverse electric field as a result of nonvanishing Rashba spin–orbit coupling in an asymmetric quantum dot. This feature is critical for implementing a quantum gate.     

Entanglement sudden death of a SC-qubit strongly coupled with a quantized mode of a lossy cavity

The dynamics of entanglement and mixedness of a superconducting qubit strongly coupled to a cavity field induced by a cavity damping governed by a master equation are investigated. It is found that, asymptotic decays as well as finite time disentanglement depend on the parameter of the dissipation, which leads to the existence of the entanglement sudden death.     

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.
