Multipartite entangled coherent states
We propose a scheme for generating multipartite entangled coherent states via
entanglement swapping, with an example of a physical realization in ion traps.
Bipartite entanglement of these multipartite states is quantified by the
concurrence. We also use the --tangle to compute multipartite entanglement
for certain systems. Finally we establish that these results for entanglement
can be applied to more general multipartite entangled nonorthogonal states.Comment: 7 pages, two figures. We added more detail discussions on the
generation of multipartite entangled coherent states and multipartite

Generation of arbitrary two dimensional motional state of a trapped ion
We present a scheme to generate an arbitrary two-dimensional quantum state of
motion of a trapped ion. This proposal is based on a sequence of laser pulses,
which are tuned appropriately to control transitions on the sidebands of two
modes of vibration. Not more than laser pulses are needed to
generate a pure state with upper phonon number and in the and
direction respectively.Comment: to appear in PR
Dynamics of entanglement for coherent excitonic states in a system of two coupled quantum dots and cavity QED
The dynamics of the entanglement for coherent excitonic states in the system
of two coupled large semiconductor quantum dots () mediated by a
single-mode cavity field is investigated. Maximally entangled coherent
excitonic states can be generated by cavity field initially prepared in odd
coherent state. The entanglement of the excitonic coherent states between two
dots reaches maximum when no photon is detected in the cavity. The effects of
the zero-temperature environment on the entanglement of excitonic coherent
state are also studied using the concurrence for two subsystems of the excitonsComment: 7 pages, 6 figure
Multipartite entangled states in coupled quantum dots and cavity-QED
We investigate the generation of multipartite entangled state in a system of
N quantum dots embedded in a microcavity and examine the emergence of genuine
multipartite entanglement by three different characterizations of entanglement.
At certain times of dynamical evolution one can generate multipartite entangled
coherent exciton states or multiqubit states by initially preparing the
cavity field in a superposition of coherent states or the Fock state with one
photon, respectively. Finally we study environmental effects on multipartite
entanglement generation and find that the decay rate for the entanglement is
proportional to the number of excitons.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
Multiorder coherent Raman scattering of a quantum probe field
We study the multiorder coherent Raman scattering of a quantum probe field in
a far-off-resonance medium with a prepared coherence. Under the conditions of
negligible dispersion and limited bandwidth, we derive a Bessel-function
solution for the sideband field operators. We analytically and numerically
calculate various quantum statistical characteristics of the sideband fields.
We show that the multiorder coherent Raman process can replicate the
statistical properties of a single-mode quantum probe field into a broad comb
of generated Raman sidebands. We also study the mixing and modulation of photon
statistical properties in the case of two-mode input. We show that the prepared
Raman coherence and the medium length can be used as control parameters to
switch a sideband field from one type of photon statistics to another type, or
from a non-squeezed state to a squeezed state and vice versa.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Thermal conductivity via magnetic excitations in spin-chain materials
We discuss the recent progress and the current status of experimental
investigations of spin-mediated energy transport in spin-chain and spin-ladder
materials with antiferromagnetic coupling. We briefly outline the central
results of theoretical studies on the subject but focus mainly on recent
experimental results that were obtained on materials which may be regarded as
adequate physical realizations of the idealized theoretical model systems. Some
open questions and unsettled issues are also addressed.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figure
