Coupling Distant Spins of Surface-State Electrons by Manipulating Their Collective Vibrations

The system of electrons on liquid helium is an interesting candidate to implement quantum computation, due to the long coherence times of the qubits encoded by the electronic spins. In order to implement the quantum logic operations between the spins, we propose here a configuration, similarly to the cooled ions in a trap, to couple the distant electrons via manipulating their center of mass （CM） vibrations. First, we show that the electrons could be confined in a common harmonic oscillator potential by using an electrostatic field. Then, with a single current pulse （applied on the micro-electrode below the liquid helium） the distant electronic spins can be coupled simultaneously to the CM mode. Finally, by adiabatically eliminating the CM mode, effective interaction between the distant spins is induced for implementing the desired quantum computing.

Correlation dynamics of two-parameter qubit-qutrit states under decoherence

We investigate the dynamics of correlations for two-parameter qubit-qutrit states under various local decoherence channels including depahsing, phase-flip, bit- and trit-flip, bit- and trit-phase-flip, and depolarizing channels. We find that, under certain conditions, the classical correlations may not be affected by the noise or decay monotonically. The quantum correlations measured by measurement-induced disturbance (MID) show three types of dynamical behaviors: (i) monotonic decay to zero, (ii) monotonic decay to a nonzero steady value, (iii) increase from zero and then decrease to zero in a monotonic way. Consequently, we find that, differing from the dynamics of entanglement, the present classical and quantum correlations do not reveal sudden death behavior.     

Detections of the Atomic States via the Phase Shifts of Transmitted Photons Through a Cavity

We propose an approach to detect an unknown quantum state of the atom(s) by measuring the phase shifts of the transmitted photons through a dispersively-coupled cavity. In the framework of the input-output theory, we derive the relations between the phase shifts of the transmitted photons and the states of the atom(s) in the cavity. It is shown that due to the dispersive interaction between the cavity and the atom(s), information about the atomic state can then be extracted by measuring the phase shifts of the transmitted photons through the cavity. The feasibility of the proposal is also discussed with the experimental parameters by numerical method.     

Validity of Lamb-Dicke Approximations in Ion-Trap Systems

The Lamb-Dicke （LD） approximation （LDA） is usually utilized to simplify the treatments for the dynamics of ion-trap systems, where the so-called LD parameters should be sufficiently small. In this Letter, based on the quantum dynamics of a single trapped ion beyond the LDA, we discuss the fidelities of the control-NOT （CNOT） gate generated by performing the usual LDA. It is shown that the fidelity of the generated CNOT gate under the LDA is sufficiently high for the current LD experiments, e.g., it reaches 99.9% for η=0.20. The validity of the LDA is also discussed by calculating these fidelities for slightly larger LD parameters, e.g., η=0.4, etc.     

多光子激发相干态的Wigner函数

Wigner函数的负性是非经典量子态的重要判据之一.利用Fock态表象下Wigner函数的一般表达式,重构了相干态｜z〉的k光子激发态｜+k,z〉～a^－k｜z〉（k≥1）的Wigner函数,并根据其数值结果讨论了该量子态的非经典特性（这里a^－1为Bose湮没算符的逆算符,其作用相当于Bose产生算符）.结果表明,不论k取奇数还是偶数,相干态的这些k光子激发态都具有非经典特性;而且k的取值越大,这些量子态的非经典特性越明显. 关键词： 非经典量子态 激发相干态 Wigner函数 非经典特性
