Efficient sharing of a continuous-variable quantum secret
We propose an efficient scheme for sharing a continuous variable quantum
secret using passive optical interferometry and squeezers: this efficiency is
achieved by showing that a maximum of two squeezers is required to replicate
the secret state, and we obtain the cheapest configuration in terms of total
squeezing cost. Squeezing is a cost for the dealer of the secret as well as for
the receivers, and we quantify limitations to the fidelity of the replicated
secret state in terms of the squeezing employed by the dealer.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure

Review of Recent Searches for Rare and Forbidden Dilepton Decays of Charmed Mesons
I briefly review the results of recent searches for flavor-changing neutral
current and lepton-flavor and lepton-number violating decays of D+, Ds, and D0
mesons (and their antiparticles) into modes containing muons and electrons. The
primary focus is the results from Fermilab charm hadroproduction experiment
E791. E791 examined 24 pi,l,l and K,l,l decay modes of D+ and Ds and l+l- decay
modes of D0. Limits presented by E791 for 22 rare and forbidden dilepton decays
of D mesons were more stringent than those obtained from previous searches, or
else were the first reported.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, uses psfig.sty and RevTeX, submitted to Modern
