Generating entanglement between microwave photons and qubits in multiple cavities coupled by a superconducting qutrit
We discuss how to generate entangled coherent states of four
\textrm{microwave} resonators \textrm{(a.k.a. cavities)} coupled by a
superconducting qubit. We also show \textrm{that} a GHZ state of four
superconducting qubits embedded in four different resonators \textrm{can be
created with this scheme}. In principle, \textrm{the proposed method} can be
extended to create an entangled coherent state of resonators and to prepare
a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state of qubits distributed over
cavities in a quantum network. In addition, it is noted that four resonators
coupled by a coupler qubit may be used as a basic circuit block to build a
two-dimensional quantum network, which is useful for scalable quantum
information processing.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure
Generation of GHZ entangled states of photons in multiple cavities via a superconducting qutrit or an atom through resonant interaction
We propose an efficient method to generate a GHZ entangled state of n photons
in n microwave cavities (or resonators) via resonant interaction to a single
superconducting qutrit. The deployment of a qutrit, instead of a qubit, as the
coupler enables us to use resonant interactions exclusively for all
qutrit-cavity and qutrit-pulse operations. This unique approach significantly
shortens the time of operation which is advantageous to reducing the adverse
effects of qutrit decoherence and cavity decay on fidelity of the protocol.
Furthermore, the protocol involves no measurement on either the state of qutrit
or cavity photons. We also show that the protocol can be generalized to other
systems by replacing the superconducting qutrit coupler with different types of
physical qutrit, such as an atom in the case of cavity QED, to accomplish the
same task.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, accepted by Phys. Rev.
Extracting an arbitrary relative phase from a multiqubit two-component entangled state
We show that an arbitrary relative phase can be extracted from a multiqubit
two-component (MTC) entangled state by local Hadamard transformations and
measurements along a single basis only. In addition, how to distinguish a MTC
entangled state with an arbitrary entanglement degree and relative phase from a
class of multiqubit mixed states is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, REVTEX, accepted by Physical Review
Electron transfer theory revisit: Quantum solvation effect
The effect of solvation on the electron transfer (ET) rate processes is
investigated on the basis of the exact theory constructed in J. Phys. Chem. B
Vol. 110, (2006); quant-ph/0604071. The nature of solvation is studied in a
close relation with the mechanism of ET processes. The resulting Kramers'
turnover and Marcus' inversion characteristics are analyzed accordingly. The
classical picture of solvation is found to be invalid when the solvent
longitudinal relaxation time is short compared with the inverse temperature.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures. J. Theo. & Comput. Chem., accepte
FACTORS INFLUENCING PROJECT TEAM EFFECTIVENESS AS PERCEIVED BY PROJECT MANAGERS IN MALAYSIA – A PILOT STUDY
As more project teams are formed to help Malaysian organizations in achieving their objectives that individual efforts cannot achieve, there is a compelling reason to understand the critical factors that can influence project team effectiveness, because the effectiveness outcome can yield benefits to organizations. This study developed a research model underpinned on Cohen & Bailey’s (1997) Team Effectiveness Framework to empirically analyze some critical factors that influence project team effectiveness. Results show that project manager’s leadership roles are not directly influencing project team effectiveness, but they are directly influencing both team building & participation, and team shared mental models in which these two factors are directly and positively influencing project team effectivenessProject Team Effectiveness, Leadership Roles, Team Building & Participation, Team Shared Mental Models, Project Manager
Entangling two oscillators with arbitrary asymmetric initial states
A Hamiltonian is presented, which can be used to convert any asymmetric state
of two oscillators and into an
entangled state. Furthermore, with this Hamiltonian and local operations only,
two oscillators, initially in any asymmetric initial states, can be entangled
with a third oscillator. The prepared entangled states can be engineered with
an arbitrary degree of entanglement. A discussion on the realization of this
Hamiltonian is given. Numerical simulations show that, with current circuit QED
technology, it is feasible to generate high-fidelity entangled states of two
microwave optical fields, such as entangled coherent states, entangled squeezed
states, entangled coherent-squeezed states, and entangled cat states. Our
finding opens a new avenue for creating not only two-color or three-color
entanglement of light but also wave-like or particle-like entanglement or novel
wave-like and particle-like hybrid entanglement.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
