Efficient NN-particle WW state concentration with different parity check gates

We present an universal way to concentrate an arbitrary $N$-particle less-entangled $W$ state into a maximally entangled $W$ state with different parity check gates. It comprises two protocols. The first protocol is based on the linear optical elements say the partial parity check gate and the second one uses the quantum nondemolition (QND) to construct the complete parity check gate. Both of which can achieve the concentration task. These protocols have several advantages. First, it can obtain a maximally entangled W state only with the help of some single photons, which greatly reduces the number of entanglement resources. Second, in the first protocol, only linear optical elements are required which is feasible with current techniques. Third, in the second protocol, it can be repeated to perform the concentration step and get a higher success probability. All these advantages make it be useful in current quantum communication and computation applications.Comment: 11pages,8figure

Prethermal time crystals in a one-dimensional periodically driven Floquet system

Motivated by experimental observations of time-symmetry breaking behavior in a periodically driven (Floquet) system, we study a one-dimensional spin model to explore the stability of such Floquet discrete time crystals (DTCs) under the interplay between interaction and the microwave driving. For intermediate interactions and high drivings, from the time evolution of both stroboscopic spin polarization and mutual information between two ends, we show that Floquet DTCs can exist in a prethermal time regime without the tuning of strong disorder. For much weak interactions the system is a symmetry-unbroken phase, while for strong interactions it gives its way to a thermal phase. Through analyzing the entanglement dynamics, we show that large driving fields protect the prethermal DTCs from many-body localization and thermalization. Our results suggest that by increasing the spin interaction, one can drive the experimental system into optimal regime for observing a robust prethermal DTC phase.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures; published versio

SU(N) fractional quantum Hall effects in topological flat bands

We study $N$-component interacting particles (hardcore bosons and fermions) loaded in topological lattice models with SU$(N)$-invariant interactions based on density matrix renormalization group method. By tuning the interplay of interspecies and intraspecies interactions, we demonstrate that a class of SU$(N)$ fractional quantum Hall states can emerge at fractional filling factors $\nu=N/(N+1)$ for bosons ($\nu=N/(2N+1)$ for fermions) in the lowest Chern band, characterized by the nontrivial fractional Hall responses and the fractional charge pumping. Moreover, we establish a topological characterization based on the $\mathbf{K}$ matrix, and discuss the close relationship to the fractional quantum Hall physics in topological flat bands with Chern number $N$.Comment: 9 pages, 12 figure

Coarse Quotient Mappings between Metric Spaces

We give a definition of coarse quotient mapping and show that several results for uniform quotient mapping also hold in the coarse setting. In particular, we prove that any Banach space that is a coarse quotient of $L_p\equiv L_p[0,1]$, $1<p<\infty$, is isomorphic to a linear quotient of $L_p$. It is also proved that $\ell_q$ is not a coarse quotient of $\ell_p$ for $1<p<q<\infty$ using Rolewicz's property ($\beta$)

Asymptotic properties of Banach spaces and coarse quotient maps

We give a quantitative result about asymptotic moduli of Banach spaces under coarse quotient maps. More precisely, we prove that if a Banach space $Y$ is a coarse quotient of a subset of a Banach space $X$, where the coarse quotient map is coarse Lipschitz, then the ($\beta$)-modulus of $X$ is bounded by the modulus of asymptotic uniform smoothness of $Y$ up to some constants. In particular, if the coarse quotient map is a coarse homeomorphism, then the modulus of asymptotic uniform convexity of $X$ is bounded by the modulus of asymptotic uniform smoothness of $Y$ up to some constants

On deformations of Lie algebroids

For any Lie algebroid A, its 1-jet bundle JA is a Lie algebroid naturally and there is a representation \pi: JA ->DA. Denote by dJ the corresponding coboundary operator. In this paper, we realize the deformation cohomology of a Lie algebroid A introduced by M. Crainic and I. Moerdijk as the cohomology of a subcomplex (\Gamma(Hom(^\bulletJA,A)DA), dJ) of the cochain complex (\Gamma(Hom(^\bulletJA,A)), dJ).Comment: 17 pages, Results. Math. 62 (2012.09), 103-12

Atomic entanglement purification using photonic Faraday rotation

We describe an entanglement purification protocol (EPP) for atomic entangled pair using photonic Faraday rotation. It is shown that after the two single photons input-output process in cavity QED, the high quality entangled atomic state can be obtained from the low quality mixed entangled atomic states. Different from other EPPs, the two pairs of mixed states do not need to intact directly. As the photonic Faraday rotation works on the low-Q cavities, this EPP is useful in both quantum communication and computation.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure

Multipartite entanglement purification for three-level trapped atom systems

We describe an entanglement purification protocol (EPP) for multipartite three-level atomic entangled pair using photonic Faraday rotation. In this EPP, the multipartite atomic entangled state can be purified with the help of some single photons. This protocol resorts to the photonic Faraday rotation to realize the function of the controlled-Not (CNOT) gate. The purified multipartite atomic entangled state can be retained and to be repeated to reach a higher fidelity.Comment: 11pages, 2 figure

Joint User Scheduling and Beam Selection Optimization for Beam-Based Massive MIMO Downlinks

In beam-based massive multiple-input multiple-output systems, signals are processed spatially in the radio-frequency (RF) front-end and thereby the number of RF chains can be reduced to save hardware cost, power consumptions and pilot overhead. Most existing work focuses on how to select, or design analog beams to achieve performance close to full digital systems. However, since beams are strongly correlated (directed) to certain users, the selection of beams and scheduling of users should be jointly considered. In this paper, we formulate the joint user scheduling and beam selection problem based on the Lyapunov-drift optimization framework and obtain the optimal scheduling policy in a closed-form. For reduced overhead and computational cost, the proposed scheduling schemes are based only upon statistical channel state information. Towards this end, asymptotic expressions of the downlink broadcast channel capacity are derived. To address the weighted sum rate maximization problem in the Lyapunov optimization, an algorithm based on block coordinated update is proposed and proved to converge to the optimum of the relaxed problem. To further reduce the complexity, an incremental greedy scheduling algorithm is also proposed, whose performance is proved to be bounded within a constant multiplicative factor. Simulation results based on widely-used spatial channel models are given. It is shown that the proposed schemes are close to optimal, and outperform several state-of-the-art schemes.Comment: Submitted to Trans. Wireless Commu

Topological characterization of hierarchical fractional quantum Hall effects in topological flat bands with SU(NN) symmetry

We study the many-body ground states of SU($N$) symmetric hardcore bosons on the topological flat-band model by using controlled numerical calculations. By introducing strong intracomponent and intercomponent interactions, we demonstrate that a hierarchy of bosonic SU($N$) fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states emerges at fractional filling factors $\nu=N/(MN+1)$ (odd $M=3$). In order to characterize this series of FQH states, we figure the effective $\mathbf{K}$ matrix from the inverse of the Chern number matrix. The topological characterization of the $\mathbf{K}$ matrix also reveals quantized drag Hall responses and fractional charge pumping that could be detected in future experiments. In addition, we address the general one-to-one correspondence to the spinless FQH states in topological flat bands with Chern number $C=N$ at fillings $\widetilde{\nu}=1/(MC+1)$.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures. revised versio
