The Parametric Symmetry and Numbers of the Entangled Class of 2 \times M \times N System
We present in the work two intriguing results in the entanglement
classification of pure and true tripartite entangled state of under stochastic local operation and classical communication. (i) the
internal symmetric properties of the nonlocal parameters in the continuous
entangled class; (ii) the analytic expression for the total numbers of the true
and pure entangled class states. These properties help
people to know more of the nature of the entangled system.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
Entanglement distribution and quantum discord
Establishing entanglement between distant parties is one of the most
important problems of quantum technology, since long-distance entanglement is
an essential part of such fundamental tasks as quantum cryptography or quantum
teleportation. In this lecture we review basic properties of entanglement and
quantum discord, and discuss recent results on entanglement distribution and
the role of quantum discord therein. We also review entanglement distribution
with separable states, and discuss important problems which still remain open.
One such open problem is a possible advantage of indirect entanglement
distribution, when compared to direct distribution protocols.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, contribution to "Lectures on general quantum

Geometric measure of quantum discord and total quantum correlations in a N-partite quantum state
Quantum discord, as introduced by Olliver and Zurek [Phys. Rev. Lett.
\textbf{88}, 017901 (2001)], is a measure of the discrepancy between quantum
versions of two classically equivalent expressions for mutual information and
is found to be useful in quantification and application of quantum correlations
in mixed states. It is viewed as a key resource present in certain quantum
communication tasks and quantum computational models without containing much
entanglement. An early step toward the quantification of quantum discord in a
quantum state was by Dakic, Vedral, and Brukner [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105,190502
(2010)] who introduced a geometric measure of quantum discord and derived an
explicit formula for any two-qubit state. Recently, Luo and Fu [Phys. Rev. A
\textbf{82}, 034302 (2010)] introduced a generic form of the geometric measure
of quantum discord for a bipartite quantum state. We extend these results and
find generic forms of the geometric measure of quantum discord and total
quantum correlations in a general N-partite quantum state. Further, we obtain
computable exact formulas for the geometric measure of quantum discord and
total quantum correlations in a N-qubit quantum state. The exact formulas for
the -qubit quantum state are experimentally implementable.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figure

Determination of rare earth impurities in high purity uranium by isotope dilution analysis
An isotope dilution method for the determination of rare earth impurities in uranium has been developed and Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu and Gd have been determined in uranium oxide samples. The method involves isotopic dilution with enriched isotopes of the rare earths being measured, followed by the separation of rare earths from uranium. A mass spectrometer with thermionic source was used to determine the relative isotopic abundances in each of these rare earths. All these five elements were analysed selectively by preferential evaporation technique. Trace concentrations down to parts per billion range can be measured with good sensitivity and accuracy
