    Generalized W-Class State and its Monogamy Relation

    Full text link
    We generalize the W class of states from nn qubits to nn qudits and prove that their entanglement is fully characterized by their partial entanglements even for the case of the mixture that consists of a W-class state and a product state ∣0⟩⊗n\ket{0}^{\otimes n}.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur

    Spheres and Prolate and Oblate Ellipsoids from an Analytical Solution of Spontaneous Curvature Fluid Membrane Model

    Full text link
    An analytic solution for Helfrich spontaneous curvature membrane model (H. Naito, M.Okuda and Ou-Yang Zhong-Can, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 48}, 2304 (1993); {\bf 54}, 2816 (1996)), which has a conspicuous feature of representing the circular biconcave shape, is studied. Results show that the solution in fact describes a family of shapes, which can be classified as: i) the flat plane (trivial case), ii) the sphere, iii) the prolate ellipsoid, iv) the capped cylinder, v) the oblate ellipsoid, vi) the circular biconcave shape, vii) the self-intersecting inverted circular biconcave shape, and viii) the self-intersecting nodoidlike cylinder. Among the closed shapes (ii)-(vii), a circular biconcave shape is the one with the minimum of local curvature energy.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figures. Phys. Rev. E (to appear in Sept. 1999

    Conditional teleportation using optical squeezers and photon counting

    Get PDF
    We suggest a scheme of using two-mode squeezed vacuum for conditional teleportation of quantum states of optical field. Alice mixes the input state with one of the squeezed modes on another squeezing device and detects the output photon numbers. The result is then communicated to Bob who shifts the photon number of his part accordingly. This is a principally realizable modification of the recent scheme [G.J. Milburn and S.L. Braunstein, Phys. Rev. A 60, 937 (1999)] where measurements of photon number difference and phase sum are considered. We show that for some classes of states this method can yield very high fidelity of teleportation, nevertheless, the success probability may be limited.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures; notations simplified, more explicit explanatio

    A Dispersive Analysis on the f0(600)f_0(600) and f0(980)f_0(980) Resonances in γγ→π+π−,π0π0\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-, \pi^0\pi^0 Processes

    Full text link
    We estimate the di-photon coupling of f0(600)f_0(600), f0(980)f_0(980) and f2(1270)f_2(1270) resonances in a coupled channel dispersive approach. The f0(600)f_0(600) di-photon coupling is also reinvestigated using a single channel TT matrix for ππ\pi\pi scattering with better analyticity property, and it is found to be significantly smaller than that of a qˉq\bar qq state. Especially we also estimate the di-photon coupling of the third sheet pole located near KˉK\bar KK threshold, denoted as f0III(980)f_0^{III}(980). It is argued that this third sheet pole may be originated from a coupled channel Breit-Wigner description of the f0(980)f_0(980) resonance.Comment: 24 pages and 13 eps figures. A nuerical bug in previous version is fixed. Some results changed. References and new figures added. Version to appear in Phys. Rev.

    Do topology and ferromagnetism cooperate at the EuS/Bi2_2Se3_3 interface?

    Full text link
    We probe the local magnetic properties of interfaces between the insulating ferromagnet EuS and the topological insulator Bi2_2Se3_3 using low energy muon spin rotation (LE-μ\muSR). We compare these to the interface between EuS and the topologically trivial metal, titanium. Below the magnetic transition of EuS, we detect strong local magnetic fields which extend several nm into the adjacent layer and cause a complete depolarization of the muons. However, in both Bi2_2Se3_3 and titanium we measure similar local magnetic fields, implying that their origin is mostly independent of the topological properties of the interface electronic states. In addition, we use resonant soft X-ray angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SX-ARPES) to probe the electronic band structure at the interface between EuS and Bi2_2Se3_3. By tuning the photon energy to the Eu anti-resonance at the Eu M5M_5 pre-edge we are able to detect the Bi2_2Se3_3 conduction band, through a protective Al2_2O3_3 capping layer and the EuS layer. Moreover, we observe a signature of an interface-induced modification of the buried Bi2_2Se3_3 wave functions and/or the presence of interface states

    Approaching the Heisenberg limit with two mode squeezed states

    Get PDF
    Two mode squeezed states can be used to achieve Heisenberg limit scaling in interferometry: a phase shift of δϕ≈2.76/\delta \phi \approx 2.76 / can be resolved. The proposed scheme relies on balanced homodyne detection and can be implemented with current technology. The most important experimental imperfections are studied and their impact quantified.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figure

    Narrowband frequency tunable light source of continuous quadrature entanglement

    Full text link
    We report the observation of non-classical quantum correlations of continuous light variables from a novel type of source. It is a frequency non-degenerate optical parametric oscillator below threshold, where signal and idler fields are separated by 740MHz corresponding to two free spectrum ranges of the parametric oscillator cavity. The degree of entanglement observed, - 3.8 dB, is the highest to-date for a narrowband tunable source suitable for atomic quantum memory and other applications in atomic physics. Finally we use the latter to visualize the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, LaTe

    Signaling, Entanglement, and Quantum Evolution Beyond Cauchy Horizons

    Full text link
    Consider a bipartite entangled system half of which falls through the event horizon of an evaporating black hole, while the other half remains coherently accessible to experiments in the exterior region. Beyond complete evaporation, the evolution of the quantum state past the Cauchy horizon cannot remain unitary, raising the questions: How can this evolution be described as a quantum map, and how is causality preserved? What are the possible effects of such nonstandard quantum evolution maps on the behavior of the entangled laboratory partner? More generally, the laws of quantum evolution under extreme conditions in remote regions (not just in evaporating black-hole interiors, but possibly near other naked singularities and regions of extreme spacetime structure) remain untested by observation, and might conceivably be non-unitary or even nonlinear, raising the same questions about the evolution of entangled states. The answers to these questions are subtle, and are linked in unexpected ways to the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. We show that terrestrial experiments can be designed to probe and constrain exactly how the laws of quantum evolution might be altered, either by black-hole evaporation, or by other extreme processes in remote regions possibly governed by unknown physics.Comment: Combined, revised, and expanded version of quant-ph/0312160 and hep-th/0402060; 13 pages, RevTeX, 2 eps figure

    Demonstration of Non-Deterministic Quantum Logic Operations using Linear Optical Elements

    Full text link
    Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn recently showed that non-deterministic quantum logic operations could be performed using linear optical elements, additional photons (ancilla), and post-selection based on the output of single-photon detectors [Nature 409, 46 (2001)]. Here we report the experimental demonstration of two logic devices of this kind, a destructive controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate and a quantum parity check. These two devices can be combined with a pair of entangled photons to implement a conventional (non-destructive) CNOT that succeeds with a probability of 1/4.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; Minor change
