Conditional two mode squeezed vacuum teleportation
We show, by making conditional measurements on the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen
(EPR) squeezed vacuum, that one can improve the efficacy of teleportation for
both the position difference, momentum sum and number difference, phase sum
continuous variable teleportation protocols. We investigate the relative
abilities of the standard and conditional EPR states, and show that by
conditioning we can improve the fidelity of teleportation of coherent states
from below to above the boundary.Comment: 18 pages, RevTeX4, 10 figures postscrip
Quantum Computation with Coherent States, Linear Interactions and Superposed Resources
We show that quantum computation circuits with coherent states as the logical
qubits can be constructed using very simple linear networks, conditional
measurements and coherent superposition resource states
Teleportation using coupled oscillator states
We analyse the fidelity of teleportation protocols, as a function of resource
entanglement, for three kinds of two mode oscillator states: states with fixed
total photon number, number states entangled at a beam splitter, and the
two-mode squeezed vacuum state. We define corresponding teleportation protocols
for each case including phase noise to model degraded entanglement of each
resource.Comment: 21 pages REVTeX, manuscript format, 7 figures postscript, many

Phase estimation as a quantum nondemolition measurement
The phase estimation algorithm, which is at the heart of a variety of quantum
algorithms, including Shor's factoring algorithm, allows a quantum computer to
accurately determine an eigenvalue of an unitary operator. Quantum
nondemolition measurements are a quantum mechanical procedure, used to overcome
the standard quantum limit when measuring an observable. We show that the phase
estimation algorithm, in both the discrete and continuous variable setting, can
be viewed as a quantum nondemolition measurement.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, RevTeX
Coherent state LOQC gates using simplified diagonal superposition resource states
In this paper we explore the possibility of fundamental tests for coherent
state optical quantum computing gates [T. C. Ralph, et. al, Phys. Rev. A
\textbf{68}, 042319 (2003)] using sophisticated but not unrealistic quantum
states. The major resource required in these gates are state diagonal to the
basis states. We use the recent observation that a squeezed single photon state
() approximates well an odd superposition of coherent
states () to address the diagonal resource
problem. The approximation only holds for relatively small and hence
these gates cannot be used in a scaleable scheme. We explore the effects on
fidelities and probabilities in teleportation and a rotated Hadamard gate.Comment: 21 pages, 12 figure
Mesoscopic one-way channels for quantum state transfer via the Quantum Hall Effect
We show that the one-way channel formalism of quantum optics has a physical
realisation in electronic systems. In particular, we show that magnetic edge
states form unidirectional quantum channels capable of coherently transporting
electronic quantum information. Using the equivalence between one-way photonic
channels and magnetic edge states, we adapt a proposal for quantum state
transfer to mesoscopic systems using edge states as a quantum channel, and show
that it is feasible with reasonable experimental parameters. We discuss how
this protocol may be used to transfer information encoded in number, charge or
spin states of quantum dots, so it may prove useful for transferring quantum
information between parts of a solid-state quantum computer.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Quantum computation with optical coherent states
We show that quantum computation circuits using coherent states as the
logical qubits can be constructed from simple linear networks, conditional
photon measurements and "small" coherent superposition resource states
Estimating the metric in curved spacetime with quantum fields
The geometry of spaceâtime is determined by physical measurements made with clocks and rulers. In so far as these are physical systems, the ultimate accuracy achievable is determined by quantum mechanics. In this paper we use methods from quantum parameter estimation theory to obtain uncertainty principles constraining how well we can estimate the components of a metric tensor using quantum field states propagating in curved spaceâtime, which is treated entirely classically
