Strong monotonicity in mixed-state entanglement manipulation
A strong entanglement monotone, which never increases under local operations
and classical communications (LOCC), restricts quantum entanglement
manipulation more strongly than the usual monotone since the usual one does not
increase on average under LOCC. We propose new strong monotones in mixed-state
entanglement manipulation under LOCC. These are related to the decomposability
and 1-positivity of an operator constructed from a quantum state, and reveal
geometrical characteristics of entangled states. These are lower bounded by the
negativity or generalized robustness of entanglement.Comment: 6 pages and 1 figure. A brief discussion about the connection to

Quantum teleportation scheme by selecting one of multiple output ports
The scheme of quantum teleportation, where Bob has multiple (N) output ports
and obtains the teleported state by simply selecting one of the N ports, is
thoroughly studied. We consider both deterministic version and probabilistic
version of the teleportation scheme aiming to teleport an unknown state of a
qubit. Moreover, we consider two cases for each version: (i) the state employed
for the teleportation is fixed to a maximally entangled state, and (ii) the
state is also optimized as well as Alice's measurement. We analytically
determine the optimal protocols for all the four cases, and show the
corresponding optimal fidelity or optimal success probability. All these
protocols can achieve the perfect teleportation in the asymptotic limit of
. The entanglement properties of the teleportation scheme are also
discussed.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure
Observation of Jonscher Law in AC Hopping Conduction of Electron-Doped Nanoporous Crystal 12CaO7Al2O3 in THz Frequency Range
We have performed terahertz time-domain spectroscopy of carrier-doped
nanoporous crystal 12CaO7Al2O3 showing the Mott variable range hopping at room
temperature. The real part of the dielectric constant clearly demonstrates the
nature of localized carriers. The frequency dependence of both the real and
imaginary parts of the dielectric constant can be simply explained by assuming
two contributions: a dielectric response by the parent compound with no
carriers and an AC hopping conduction with the Jonscher law generally reported
up to GHz range. The possible obedience to the Jonscher law in the THz range
suggests a relaxation time of the hopping carriers much faster than 1ps in the
carrier-doped 12CaO7Al2O3.Comment: 4pages 3figures. to be published in Phys. Rev.
Ultrafast nematic-orbital excitation in FeSe
The electronic nematic phase is an unconventional state of matter that
spontaneously breaks the rotational symmetry of electrons. In
iron-pnictides/chalcogenides and cuprates, the nematic ordering and
fluctuations have been suggested to have as-yet-unconfirmed roles in
superconductivity. However, most studies have been conducted in thermal
equilibrium, where the dynamical property and excitation can be masked by the
coupling with the lattice. Here we use femtosecond optical pulse to perturb the
electronic nematic order in FeSe. Through time-, energy-, momentum- and
orbital-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy, we detect the ultrafast dynamics
of electronic nematicity. In the strong-excitation regime, through the
observation of Fermi surface anisotropy, we find a quick disappearance of the
nematicity followed by a heavily-damped oscillation. This short-life nematicity
oscillation is seemingly related to the imbalance of Fe 3dxz and dyz orbitals.
These phenomena show critical behavior as a function of pump fluence. Our
real-time observations reveal the nature of the electronic nematic excitation
instantly decoupled from the underlying lattice
The reduction of the closest disentangled states
We study the closest disentangled state to a given entangled state in any
system (multi-party with any dimension). We obtain the set of equations the
closest disentangled state must satisfy, and show that its reduction is
strongly related to the extremal condition of the local filtering on each
party. Although the equations we obtain are not still tractable, we find some
sufficient conditions for which the closest disentangled state has the same
reduction as the given entangled state. Further, we suggest a prescription to
obtain a tight upper bound of the relative entropy of entanglement in two-qubit
systems.Comment: a crucial error was correcte
A comparison of the entanglement measures negativity and concurrence
In this paper we investigate two different entanglement measures in the case
of mixed states of two qubits. We prove that the negativity of a state can
never exceed its concurrence and is always larger then
where is the concurrence of the state.
Furthermore we derive an explicit expression for the states for which the upper
or lower bound is satisfied. Finally we show that similar results hold if the
relative entropy of entanglement and the entanglement of formation are
compared
Momentum dependence of the energy gap in the superconducting state of optimally doped Bi2(Sr,R)2CuOy (R=La and Eu)
The energy gap of optimally doped Bi2(Sr,R)2CuOy (R=La and Eu) was probed by
angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) using a vacuum ultraviolet
laser (photon energy 6.994 eV) or He I resonance line (21.218 eV) as photon
source. The results show that the gap around the node at sufficiently low
temperatures can be well described by a monotonic d-wave gap function for both
samples and the gap of the R=La sample is larger reflecting the higher Tc.
However, an abrupt deviation from the d-wave gap function and an opposite R
dependence for the gap size were observed around the antinode, which represent
a clear disentanglement between the antinodal pseudogap and the nodal
superconducting gap.Comment: Submitted as the proceedings of LT2
