Entangled SU(2) and SU(1,1) coherent states
Entangled SU(2) and SU(1,1) coherent states are developed as superpositions
of multiparticle SU(2) and SU(1,1) coherent states. In certain cases, these are
coherent states with respect to generalized su(2) and su(1,1) generators, and
multiparticle parity states arise as a special case. As a special example of
entangled SU(2) coherent states, entangled binomial states are introduced and
these entangled binomial states enable the contraction from entangled SU(2)
coherent states to entangled harmonic oscillator coherent states. Entangled
SU(2) coherent states are discussed in the context of pairs of qubits. We also
introduce the entangled negative binomial states and entangled squeezed states
as examples of entangled SU(1,1) coherent states. A method for generating the
entangled SU(2) and SU(1,1) coherent states is discussed and degrees of
entanglement calculated. Two types of SU(1,1) coherent states are discussed in
each case: Perelomov coherent states and Barut-Girardello coherent states.Comment: 31 pages, no figure
Time dependence of current-voltage measurements of c-axis quasiparticle conductivity in 2212-BSCCO mesa structures
We report four-point IV measurements of the c-axis conductivity of mesa
structures of 2212-BSCCO, using a system with sub-microsecond resolution along
with multi-level pulses. These allow a test to be made for the presence of
nonequilibrium effects. Our results suggest simple heating alone is important
in measurements of this kind.Comment: to appear in proceedings of LT23; submitted to Physica
The relationship between two flavors of oblivious transfer at the quantum level
Though all-or-nothing oblivious transfer and one-out-of-two oblivious
transfer are equivalent in classical cryptography, we here show that due to the
nature of quantum cryptography, a protocol built upon secure quantum
all-or-nothing oblivious transfer cannot satisfy the rigorous definition of
quantum one-out-of-two oblivious transfer.Comment: 4 pages, no figur
Methods for linear optical quantum Fredkin gate
We consider the realization of quantum Fredkin gate with only linear optics
and single photons. First we construct a heralded Fredkin gate using four
heralded controlled-not (CNOT) gates. Then we simplify this method to a
post-selected one utilizing only two CNOT gates. We also give a possible
realization of this method which is feasible with current experimental
technology. Another post-selected scheme requires time entanglement of the
input photons but needs no ancillary photons.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Deterministic Quantum Key Distribution Using Gaussian-Modulated Squeezed States
A continuous variable ping-pong scheme, which is utilized to generate
deterministically private key, is proposed. The proposed scheme is implemented
physically by using Gaussian-modulated squeezed states. The deterministic way,
i.e., no basis reconciliation between two parties, leads a two-times efficiency
comparing to the standard quantum key distribution schemes. Especially, the
separate control mode does not need in the proposed scheme so that it is
simpler and more available than previous ping-pong schemes. The attacker may be
detected easily through the fidelity of the transmitted signal, and may not be
successful in the beam splitter attack strategy.Comment: 7 pages, 4figure
Generation of a High-Visibility Four-Photon Entangled State and Realization of a Four-Party Quantum Communication Complexity Scenario
We obtain a four-photon polarization-entangled state with a visibility as
high as (95.35\pm 0.45)% directly from a single down-conversion source. A
success probability of (81.54\pm 1.38)% is observed by applying this entangled
state to realize a four-party quantum communication complexity scenario (QCCS),
which comfortably surpass the classical limit of 50%. As a comparison, two
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs are shown to implement the scenario with a
success probability of (73.89\pm 1.33)%. This four-photon state can be used to
fulfill decoherence-free quantum information processing and other advanced
quantum communication schemes.Comment: REVTEX 4.0, 4 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
