Extremal Entangled Four-Qubit Pure States with Respect to Multiple Entropy Measures

Four-qubit entanglement has been investigated using a recent proposed entanglement measure, multiple entropy measures （MEMS）. We have performed optimization for the nine different families of states of four-qubit system. Some extremal entangled states have been found.     

Entanglement Dynamics and Bell Violations of Two Atoms in Tavis-Cummings Model with Phase Decoherence

Considering the dipole-dipole coupling intensity between two atoms and the field in the Fock state, the entanglement dynamics between two atoms that are initially entangled in the system of two two-level atoms coupled to a single mode cavity in the presence of phase decoherence has been investigated. The two-atom entanglement appears with periodicity without considering phase decoherence, however, the phase decoherence causes the decay of entanglement between two atoms, with the increasing of the phase decoherence coefficient, the entanglement will quickly become a constant value, which is affected by the two-atom initial state. Meanwhile the two-atom quantum state will forever stay in the maximal entangled state when the initial state is proper even in the presence of phase decoherence. On the other hand, the Bell violation and the entanglement do not satisfy the monotonous relation, a large Bell violation implies the presence of a large amount of entanglement under certain conditions, while a large Bell violation corresponds to a little amount of entanglement in certain situations. However, the violation of Bell-CHSH inequality can reach the maximal value if two atoms are in the maximal entangled state, or vice versa.     

Efficient Scheme for Macroscopic Superpositions and Entanglement of High-Order Squeezed Vacuum States in Cavity QED

We propose an etticient scheme for generating the macroscopic superpositions and the entanglement between the high-order squeezed vacuum states by considering the multi-photon interaction of N two-level atoms in a cavity with high quality factor, assisted by a strong driving field. Through specific choices of the cavity detuning, a number of multi-party entangled states between the atoms and the high-order squeezed vacuum states and among the high-order squeezed vacuum states of the cavities can be prepared, including also the macroscopic ＂Schrodinger cats＂ of the high- order squeezed vacuum states, the entangled states of the macroscopic ＂Schrodinger cats＂, and so on. Possible extension and application of our scheme are discussed. Our scheme is reachable within the current techniques in the cavity QED.     

Implementing Entanglement Swapping and Generating Multiphoton Entanglement in Cavity QED

Based on the input-output relation of a one-sided cavity, we propose an experimental scheme to implement entanglement swapping with photons. In the ideal case, the successful probability of the scheme approaches unity. In addition, the protocol can be extended to establish multiphoton entanglement among distant users in a communication network.     

Threshold Multiparty Controlled Teleportation of Arbitrary m-Qubit Quantum Information

We present a (t,n) threshold multiparty controlled quantum teleportation protocol of an arbitrary m-qubit quantum state between two remote parties. The unknown m-qubit quantum state can be recovered by the receiver under control of a subset of the n controllers if the number of the subset is larger than or equal to a threshold, say, t, but not for any t-1 or fewer controllers. Our scheme seems to be more practical and more flexible than otherexisting protocols. The quantum resource required is just mEinstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs plus some single photons. Thetechniques required are only Bell state measurement, single-qubitunitary operation and von Neumann measurement. So our scheme is alsofeasible with present-day technique.     

Quantum Secure Direct Communication with Four-Particle Genuine Entangled State and Dense Coding

A quantum secure direct communication scheme using dense coding is proposed. At first, the sender (Alice) prepares four-particle genuine entangled states and shares them with the receiver (Bob) by sending two particles in each entangled state to him. Secondly, Alice encodes secret information by performing the unitarytransformations on her particles and transmits them to Bob. Finally, Bob performs the joint measurements on his particles to decode the secret information. The two-step security test guarantees the security of communication.     

Entanglement sudden death induced by the Dzialoshinskii--Moriya interaction

In this paper, we study the entanglement dynamics of two-spin Heisenberg XYZ model with the Dzialoshinskii--Moriya (DM) interaction. The system is initially prepared in the Werner state. The effects of purity of the initial state and DM coupling parameter on the evolution of entanglement are investigated. The necessary and sufficient condition for the appearance of the entanglement sudden death (ESD) phenomenon has been deduced. The result shows that the ESD always occurs if the initial state is sufficiently impure for the given coupling parameter or the DM interaction is sufficiently strong for the given initial state. Moreover, the critical values of them are calculated.     

Entanglement Degree in the Time Development of the Jaynes–Cummings Model

Recently, it has been become known that a quantum entangled state plays an important role in fields of quantum information theory, such as quantum teleportation and quantum computation. Research on quantifying entangled states has been carried out using several measures. In this Letter, we will adopt this method using quantum mutual entropy to measure the degree of entanglement in the time development of the Jaynes–Cummings model.

Chaotic Entanglement: Entropy and Geometry

In chaotic entanglement, pairs of interacting classically-chaotic systems are induced into a state of mutual stabilization that can be maintained without external controls and that exhibits several properties consistent with quantum entanglement. In such a state, the chaotic behavior of each system is stabilized onto one of the system’s many unstable periodic orbits (generally located densely on the associated attractor), and the ensuing periodicity of each system is sustained by the symbolic dynamics of its partner system, and vice versa. Notably, chaotic entanglement is an entropy-reversing event: the entropy of each member of an entangled pair decreases to zero when each system collapses onto a given period orbit. In this paper, we discuss the role that entropy plays in chaotic entanglement. We also describe the geometry that arises when pairs of entangled chaotic systems organize into coherent structures that range in complexity from simple tripartite lattices to more involved patterns. We conclude with a discussion of future research directions.
