Suppressing decoherence and improving entanglement by quantum-jump-based feedback control in two-level systems
We study the quantum-jump-based feedback control on the entanglement shared
between two qubits with one of them subject to decoherence, while the other
qubit is under the control. This situation is very relevant to a quantum system
consisting of nuclear and electron spins in solid states. The possibility to
prolong the coherence time of the dissipative qubit is also explored. Numerical
simulations show that the quantum-jump-based feedback control can improve the
entanglement between the qubits and prolong the coherence time for the qubit
subject directly to decoherence
Fermi resonance-algebraic model for molecular vibrational spectra
A Fermi resonance-algebraic model is proposed for molecular vibrations, where
a U(2) algebra is used for describing the vibrations of each bond, and Fermi
resonances between stretching and bending modes are taken into account. The
model for a bent molecule XY_2 and a molecule XY_3 is successfully applied to
fit the recently observed vibrational spectrum of the water molecule and arsine
(AsH_3), respectively, and results are compared with those of other models.
Calculations show that algebraic approaches can be used as an effective method
for describing molecular vibrations with small standard deviations
Necessary and sufficient conditions for local creation of quantum discord
We show that a local channel cannot create quantum discord (QD) for zero QD
states of size if and only if either it is a completely decohering
channel or it is a nontrivial isotropic channel. For the qubit case this
propertiy is additionally characteristic to the completely decohering channel
or the commutativity-preserving unital channel. In particular, the exact forms
of the completely decohering channel and the commutativity-preserving unital
qubit channel are proposed. Consequently, our results confirm and improve the
conjecture proposed by X. Hu et al. for the case of and improve the
result proposed by A. Streltsov et al. for the qubit case. Furthermore, it is
shown that a local channel nullifies QD in any state if and only if it is a
completely decohering channel. Based on our results, some protocols of quantum
information processing issues associated with QD, especially for the qubit
case, would be experimentally accessible.Comment: 8 page
