Two Mode Photon Bunching Effect as Witness of Quantum Criticality in Circuit QED

Qing Ai, Ying-Dan Wang, Guilu Long +1

We suggest a scheme to probe critical phenomena at a quantum phase transition (QPT) using the quantum correlation of two photonic modes simultaneously coupled to a critical system.…

A Unified Quantum NOT Gate

Z. W. Yu, X. T. Ni, L. C. Kwek +1

We study the feasibility of implementing a quantum NOT gate (approximate) when the quantum state lies between two latitudes on the Bloch's sphere and present an analytical formula…

Nonlocal Entanglement Transformations Achievable by Separable Operations

Eric Chitambar, Runyao Duan

For manipulations of multipartite quantum systems, it was well known that all local operations assisted by classical communication (LOCC) constitute a proper subset of the class of…

Ancilla-Assisted Discrimination of Quantum Gates

Jianxin Chen, Mingsheng Ying

The intrinsic idea of superdense coding is to find as many gates as possible such that they can be perfectly discriminated. In this paper, we consider a new scheme of discriminatio…

Protecting entanglement in superconducting qubits

Jing Zhang, Yu-xi Liu, Chun-Wen Li +2

When a two-qubit system is initially maximally-entangled, two independent decoherence channels, one per qubit, would greatly reduce the entanglement of the two-qubit system when it…

Brownian motion of a charged test particle driven by vacuum fluctuations near a dielectric half-space

Hongwei Yu, Xiangyun Fu, Puxun Wu

We study the Brownian motion of a charged test particle driven by quantum electromagnetic fluctuations in the vacuum region near a non-dispersive and non-absorbing dielectric half-…

Using squeezed field to preserve two-atom entanglement against spontaneous emissions

Jing Zhang, Re-Bing Wu, Chun-Wen Li +1

Tunable interaction between two atoms in a cavity is realized by interacting the two atoms with an extra controllable single-mode squeezed field. Such a controllable interaction ca…

Effective Hamiltonian approach to the Kerr nonlinearity in an optomechanical system

Z. R. Gong, H. Ian, Yu-xi Liu +2

Using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we derive an effective Hamiltonian for an optomechanical system that leads to a nonlinear Kerr effect in the system's vacuum. The oscillat…

General theory of decoy-state quantum cryptography with source errors

Xiang-Bin Wang, C. -Z. Peng, J. Zhang +2

The existing theory of decoy-state quantum cryptography assumes the exact control of each states from Alice's source. Such exact control is impossible in practice. We develop the t…
