Distributed entanglement generation from asynchronously excited qubits

The generation of GHZ states calls for simultaneous excitation of multiple qubits. The peculiarity of such states is reflected in their nonzero distributed entanglement which is not contained in other entangled states. We study the optimal way to excite three superconducting qubits through a common cavity resonator in a circuit such that the generation of distributed entanglement among them could be obtained at the highest degree in a time-controllable way. A non-negative measure quantifying this entanglement is derived as a time function of the quadripartite system evolution. We find that this measure does not stay static but obtains the same maximum periodically. When the qubit-resonator couplings are allowed to vary, its peak value is enhanced monotonically by increasing the greatest coupling strength to one of the qubits. The period of its peak to peak revival maximizes when the couplings become inhomogeneous, thus qubit excitation becoming asynchronous, at a relative ratio of 0.35. The study demonstrates the role of asynchronous excitations for time-controlling multi-qubit systems, in particular in extending entanglement time

Tunable Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Absorption with Dressed Superconducting Qubits

Electromagnetically induced transparency and absorption (EIT and EIA) are usually demonstrated by three-level atomic or atom-like systems. In contrast to the usual case, we theoretically study the EIT and EIA in an equivalent three-level system, which is constructed by dressing a superconducting two-level system (qubit) dressed by a single-mode cavity field. In this equivalent system, we find that both the EIT and the EIA can be tuned by controlling the level-spacing of the superconducting qubit and hence controlling the dressed system. This tunability is due to the dressed relaxation and dephasing rates which vary parametrically with the level-spacing of the original qubit and thus affect the transition properties of the dressed qubit and the susceptibility. These dressed relaxation and dephasing rates characterize the reaction of the dressed qubit to an incident probe field. We also use recent experimental data on superconducting qubits (charge, phase, and flux qubits) to demonstrate our approach and show the possibility of experimentally realizing this proposal.Comment: 13 page

Effects of Service Level with Low Unemployment Rate in Macau

Justification and Objectives: With this background in mind, there is an important question that has not been answered in the context of Macau’s hospitality industry: Does the workforce display what Gu and Siu (2009) called “mediocre interpersonal skills” (p. 561) because of innate shortcomings in the workforce, or because of voluntary behavior on the part of the workforce? The proposed paper will use Osterman’s (1994) theoretical framework of employment incentives and with reference to the research being conducted by Venetian Macau. Purpose Statement: The purpose of this study is to quantitatively measure the links between the variables of employee service level, rehiring expectations, and skills/limitations, based on secondary data from The Venetian Macao
