    Complete hyperentangled-Bell-state analysis for quantum communication

    Full text link
    It is impossible to unambiguously distinguish the four Bell states in polarization, resorting to linear optical elements only. Recently, the hyperentangled Bell state, the simultaneous entanglement in more than one degree of freedom, has been used to assist in the complete Bell-state analysis of the four Bell states. However, if the additional degree of freedom is qubitlike, one can only distinguish 7 from the group of 16 states. Here we present a way to distinguish the hyperentangled Bell states completely with the help of cross-Kerr nonlinearity. Also, we discuss its application in the quantum teleportation of a particle in an unknown state in two different degrees of freedom and in the entanglement swapping of hyperentangled states. These applications will increase the channel capacity of long-distance quantum communication.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure

    CPCP violation induced by the double resonance for pure annihilation decay process in Perturbative QCD

    Full text link
    In Perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach we study the direct CPCP violation in the pure annihilation decay process of Bˉs0π+ππ+π\bar{B}^0_{s}\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^- induced by the ρ\rho and ω\omega double resonance effect. Generally, the CPCP violation is small in the pure annihilation type decay process. However, we find that the CPCP violation can be enhanced by double ρω\rho-\omega interference when the invariant masses of the π+π\pi^+\pi^- pairs are in the vicinity of the ω\omega resonance. For the decay process of Bˉs0π+ππ+π\bar{B}^0_{s}\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-, the maximum CPCP violation can reach 28.64{\%}

    Branching ratios and direct CP asymmetries in DPPD\to PP decays

    Full text link
    We propose a theoretical framework for analyzing two-body nonleptonic DD meson decays, based on the factorization of short-distance (long-distance) dynamics into Wilson coefficients (hadronic matrix elements of four-fermion operators). The parametrization of hadronic matrix elements in terms of several nonperturbative quantities is demonstrated for the DPPD\to PP decays, PP denoting a pseudoscalar meson. We consider the evolution of Wilson coefficients with energy release in individual decay modes, and the Glauber strong phase associated with the pion in nonfactorizable annihilation amplitudes, that is attributed to the unique role of the pion as a Nambu-Goldstone boson and a quark-anti-quark bound state simultaneously. The above inputs improve the global fit to the branching ratios involving the η\eta' meson, and resolves the long-standing puzzle from the D0π+πD^0\to\pi^+\pi^- and D0K+KD^0\to K^+K^- branching ratios, respectively. Combining short-distance dynamics associated with penguin operators and the hadronic parameters determined from the global fit to branching ratios, we predict direct CP asymmetries, to which the quark loops and the scalar penguin annihilation give dominant contributions. In particular, we predict ΔACPACP(K+K)ACP(π+π)=1.00×103\Delta A_{\rm CP}\equiv A_{\rm CP}(K^+K^-)-A_{\rm CP}(\pi^+\pi^-)=-1.00\times 10^{-3}, lower than the LHCb and CDF data.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures, matches published versio

    Angular Reconstruction of a Lead Scintillating-Fiber Sandwiched Electromagnetic Calorimeter

    Full text link
    A new method called Neighbor Cell Deposited Energy Ratio (NCDER) is proposed to reconstruct incidence position in a single layer for a 3-dimensional imaging electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL).This method was applied to reconstruct the ECAL test beam data for the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-02 (AMS-02). The results show that this method can achieve an angular resolution of 7.36\pm 0.08 / \sqrt(E) \oplus 0.28 \pm 0.02 degree in the determination of the photons direction, which is much more precise than that obtained with the commonly-adopted Center of Gravity(COG) method (8.4 \pm 0.1 /sqrt(E) \oplus 0.8\pm0.3 degree). Furthermore, since it uses only the properties of electromagnetic showers, this new method could also be used for other type of fine grain sampling calorimeters.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figure
