    Experimental realization of large-alphabet quantum key distribution protocol using orbital angular momentum entanglement

    Full text link
    We experimentally demonstrate a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol using photon pairs entangled in orbit angular momentum (OAM). In our protocol, Alice and Bob modulate their OAM states on each entangled pair with spatial light modulators (SLMs), respectively. Alice uses a fixed phase hologram in her SLM, while Bob designs NN different suitable phase holograms and uses them to represent his NN-based information in his SLM. With coincidences, Alice can fully retrieve the key stream sent by Bob without information reconciliation or privacy amplification. We report the experiment results with N=3 and the sector states with OAM eigenmodes l=1 and l=-1. Our experiment shows that the coincidence rates are in relatively distinct value regions for the three different key elements. Alice could recover fully Bob's keys by the protocol. Finally, we discuss the security of the protocol both form the light way and against the general attacks

    Symmetric multiparty-controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-particle entanglement

    Full text link
    We present a way for symmetric multiparty-controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-particle entangled state based on Bell-basis measurements by using two Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, i.e., a sender transmits an arbitrary two-particle entangled state to a distant receiver, an arbitrary one of the n+1n+1 agents via the control of the others in a network. It will be shown that the outcomes in the cases that nn is odd or it is even are different in principle as the receiver has to perform a controlled-not operation on his particles for reconstructing the original arbitrary entangled state in addition to some local unitary operations in the former. Also we discuss the applications of this controlled teleporation for quantum secret sharing of classical and quantum information. As all the instances can be used to carry useful information, its efficiency for qubits approaches the maximal value.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures; the revised version published in Physical Review A 72, 022338 (2005).

    Quantum Dense Coding Exploiting Bright EPR Beam

    Get PDF
    Highly efficient quantum dense coding for continuous variables has been experimentally accomplished by means of exploiting bright EPR beam with anticorrelation of amplitude quadratures and correlation of phase quadratures, which is generated from a nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier operating in the state of deamplification. Two bits of classical information are encoded on two quadratures of a half of bright EPR beam at the sender Alice and transmitted to the receiver Bob via one qubit of the shared quantum state after encoding. The amplitude and phase signals are simultaneously decoded with the other half of EPR beam by the direct measurement of the Bell-state at Bob. The signal to noise ratios of the simultaneously measured amplitude and phase signals are improved 5.4dB and 4.8dB with respect to that of the shot noise limit respectively. A high degree of immunity to unauthorized eavesdropping of the presented quantum communication scheme is experimentally demonstrated.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure

    Concurrence Vectors for Entanglement of High-dimensional Systems

    Full text link
    The concurrence vectors are proposed by employing the fundamental representation of AnA_n Lie algebra, which provides a clear criterion to evaluate the entanglement of bipartite system of arbitrary dimension for both pure and mixed states. Accordingly, a state is separable if the norm of its concurrence vector vanishes. The state vectors related to SU(3) states and SO(3) states are discussed in detail. The sign situation of nonzero components of concurrence vectors of entangled bases presents a simple criterion to judge whether the whole Hilbert subspace spanned by those bases is entangled, or there exists entanglement edge. This is illustrated in terms of the concurrence surfaces of several concrete examples.Comment: Revtex4, 7 pages, 3 figures; extended with 3 more page

    The probability of successfully controlled teleportating an unknown qubit using a general three-particle state is investigated. We give the analytic expressions of maximal probabilities of successfully controlled teleportating an unknown qubit via several kinds of tripartite states including a tripartite GHZ state and a tripartite W-state.Comment: 15 page

    Observation of ηcωω\eta_c\to\omega\omega in J/ψγωωJ/\psi\to\gamma\omega\omega

    Using a sample of (1310.6±7.0)×106(1310.6\pm7.0)\times10^6 J/ψJ/\psi events recorded with the BESIII detector at the symmetric electron positron collider BEPCII, we report the observation of the decay of the (11S0)(1^1 S_0) charmonium state ηc\eta_c into a pair of ω\omega mesons in the process J/ψγωωJ/\psi\to\gamma\omega\omega. The branching fraction is measured for the first time to be B(ηcωω)=(2.88±0.10±0.46±0.68)×103\mathcal{B}(\eta_c\to\omega\omega)= (2.88\pm0.10\pm0.46\pm0.68)\times10^{-3}, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is from the uncertainty of B(J/ψγηc)\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to\gamma\eta_c). The mass and width of the ηc\eta_c are determined as M=(2985.9±0.7±2.1)M=(2985.9\pm0.7\pm2.1)\,MeV/c2c^2 and Γ=(33.8±1.6±4.1)\Gamma=(33.8\pm1.6\pm4.1)\,MeV.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure

    Observation of an anomalous line shape of the ηπ+π\eta^{\prime}\pi^{+}\pi^{-} mass spectrum near the ppˉp\bar{p} mass threshold in J/ψγηπ+πJ/\psi\rightarrow\gamma\eta^{\prime}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}

    Using 1.09×1091.09\times10^{9} J/ψJ/\psi events collected by the BESIII experiment in 2012, we study the J/ψγηπ+πJ/\psi\rightarrow\gamma\eta^{\prime}\pi^{+}\pi^{-} process and observe a significant abrupt change in the slope of the ηπ+π\eta^{\prime}\pi^{+}\pi^{-} invariant mass distribution at the proton-antiproton (ppˉp\bar{p}) mass threshold. We use two models to characterize the ηπ+π\eta^{\prime}\pi^{+}\pi^{-} line shape around 1.85 GeV/c21.85~\text{GeV}/c^{2}: one which explicitly incorporates the opening of a decay threshold in the mass spectrum (Flatt\'{e} formula), and another which is the coherent sum of two resonant amplitudes. Both fits show almost equally good agreement with data, and suggest the existence of either a broad state around 1.85 GeV/c21.85~\text{GeV}/c^{2} with strong couplings to ppˉp\bar{p} final states or a narrow state just below the ppˉp\bar{p} mass threshold. Although we cannot distinguish between the fits, either one supports the existence of a ppˉp\bar{p} molecule-like state or bound state with greater than 7σ7\sigma significance

    Observation of hch_{c} radiative decay hcγηh_{c} \rightarrow \gamma \eta' and evidence for hcγηh_{c} \rightarrow \gamma \eta

    Get PDF
    A search for radiative decays of the PP-wave spin singlet charmonium resonance hch_c is performed based on 4.48×1084.48 \times 10^{8} ψ\psi' events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Events of the reaction channels hcγηh_{c} \rightarrow \gamma \eta' and γη\gamma \eta are observed with a statistical significance of 8.4σ8.4 \sigma and 4.0σ4.0 \sigma, respectively, for the first time. The branching fractions of hcγηh_{c} \rightarrow \gamma \eta' and hcγηh_{c} \rightarrow \gamma \eta are measured to be B(hcγη)=(1.52±0.27±0.29)×103\mathcal{B}(h_{c} \rightarrow \gamma \eta')=(1.52 \pm 0.27 \pm 0.29)\times10^{-3} and B(hcγη)=(4.7±1.5±1.4)×104\mathcal{B}(h_{c} \rightarrow \gamma \eta)=(4.7 \pm 1.5 \pm 1.4)\times10^{-4}, respectively, where the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic uncertainties.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure

    Observation and study of the decay J/ψϕηηJ/\psi\rightarrow\phi\eta\eta'

    Get PDF
    We report the observation and study of the decay J/ψϕηηJ/\psi\rightarrow\phi\eta\eta' using 1.3×1091.3\times{10^9} J/ψJ/\psi events collected with the BESIII detector. Its branching fraction, including all possible intermediate states, is measured to be (2.32±0.06±0.16)×104(2.32\pm0.06\pm0.16)\times{10^{-4}}. We also report evidence for a structure, denoted as XX, in the ϕη\phi\eta' mass spectrum in the 2.02.12.0-2.1 GeV/c2c^2 region. Using two decay modes of the η\eta' meson (γπ+π\gamma\pi^+\pi^- and ηπ+π\eta\pi^+\pi^-), a simultaneous fit to the ϕη\phi\eta' mass spectra is performed. Assuming the quantum numbers of the XX to be JP=1J^P = 1^-, its significance is found to be 4.4σ\sigma, with a mass and width of (2002.1±27.5±21.4)(2002.1 \pm 27.5 \pm 21.4) MeV/c2c^2 and (129±17±9)(129 \pm 17 \pm 9) MeV, respectively, and a product branching fraction B(J/ψηX)×B(Xϕη)=(9.8±1.2±1.7)×105\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\rightarrow\eta{}X)\times{}\mathcal{B}(X\rightarrow\phi\eta')=(9.8 \pm 1.2 \pm 1.7)\times10^{-5}. Alternatively, assuming JP=1+J^P = 1^+, the significance is 3.8σ\sigma, with a mass and width of (2062.8±13.1±7.2)(2062.8 \pm 13.1 \pm 7.2) MeV/c2c^2 and (177±36±35)(177 \pm 36 \pm 35) MeV, respectively, and a product branching fraction B(J/ψηX)×B(Xϕη)=(9.6±1.4±2.0)×105\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\rightarrow\eta{}X)\times{}\mathcal{B}(X\rightarrow\phi\eta')=(9.6 \pm 1.4 \pm 2.0)\times10^{-5}. The angular distribution of J/ψηXJ/\psi\rightarrow\eta{}X is studied and the two JPJ^P assumptions of the XX cannot be clearly distinguished due to the limited statistics. In all measurements the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures and 4 table
