Violations of Locality Beyond Bell's Theorem

Locality and realism are two main assumptions in deriving Bell's inequalities. Though the experimentally demonstrated violations of Bell's inequalities rule out local realism, it is, however, not clear what role each of the two assumptions solely plays in the observed violations. Here we show that two testable inequalities for the statistical predictions of two-qubit systems can be derived by assuming either locality or realism. It turns out that quantum mechanics respects a nonlocal classical realism, and it is locality that is incompatible with experimental observations and quantum mechanics.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure; comments are welcom

Linear Optics Quantum Communication over Long Distances

We propose a feasible scheme for teleporting an arbitrary polarization state or entanglement of photons by requiring only single-photon (SP) sources, simple linear optical elements and SP quantum non-demolition measurements. An unknown SP polarization state can be faithfully teleported either to a duplicate polarization state or to an entangled state. Our proposal can be used to implement long-distance quantum communication in a simple way. The scheme is within the reach of current technology and significantly simplifies the realistc implementation of long-distance high-fidelity quantum communication with photon qubits.Comment: 4 pages, no figure; comments are welcome / with refs. added and other change

The Generation and Exchange of Entanglement via Zeeman Effect

In this paper we show a new way to generate entanglement via two identical three-level atoms splitting in the magnetic field interacting with the cavity field. By the system we investigate, We can acquire the EPR state, multi-dimensional entangled states etc. which are more stable than usual realization by high-energy-level Rydberg atoms and we can realize the local exchange operator too. We also achieve the goal of maintaining long- time entanglement between atoms. At last, by using the procedure of local exchange, we put forward an experimental scheme for quantum feedback.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figur

Feasible Linear-optics Generation of Polarization-entangled Photons Assisted with Single-photon Quantum Non-demolition Measurement

We propose a feasible scheme to create $n$-party ($n\geq 2$) polarization-entangled photon states in a controllable way. The scheme requires only single-photon sources, single-photon quantum non-demolition measurement (SP-QNDM) and simple linear optical elements, usually with high perfections. The SP-QNDM acts as a non-destructive projection measurement onto the wanted entangled states and filters out the unwanted terms. Our scheme in fact realizes entanglement of non-interacting photons; the interaction occurs only implicitly in the optical elements and SP-QNDM. We also briefly consider purification of mixed single-photon states within our scheme.Comment: 4 pages, no figur

Multibrane DGP model: Our universe as a stack of (2+1)(2+1)-dim branes

We consider scenario in which our $(3+1)$-dim universe is actually a dense stack of multiple parallel $(2+1)$-dim branes. For this purpose, we generalize the DGP model to a multi-brane case. We solve for the propagation of the scalar field and gravity in this setup. At short distances (high momenta) along the branes interactions follow the $(2+1)$-dim laws, while at large distances (low momenta) interactions follow the usual $(3+1)$-dim laws. This feature is inherited from the original DGP model. In the direction perpendicular to the brane, we show that interactions become $(3+1)$-dim at low momenta which are unable to resolve the interbrane separation. Thus, this is one of the explicit constructs of the "vanishing dimensions" scenario where high energy physics appears to be lower dimensional rather than higher dimensional.Comment: updated references, published in Phys.

Unifying Entanglement and Nonlocality as a Single Concept: Quantum Wholeness

Although entanglement is widely recognized as one of the most fascinating characteristics of quantum mechanics, nonlocality remains to be a big labyrinth. The proof of existence of nonlocality is as yet not much convincing because of its strong reliance on Bell's theorem where the assumption of realism weakens the proof. We demonstrate that entanglement and quantum nonlocality are two equivalent aspects of the same quantum wholeness for spacelike separated quantum systems. This result implies that quantum mechanics is indeed a nonlocal theory and lays foundation of understanding quantum nonlocality beyond Bell's theorem.Comment: 5 pages, one figure; comments are welcom

Violation of Locality Without Inequalities for Multiparticle Perfect Correlations

We prove that for a three-qubit system in the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state, locality per se is in conflict with the perfect GHZ correlations. The proof does not in any way use the realism assumption and can lead to a refutation of locality. We also provide inequalities that are imposed by locality. The experimental confirmation of the present reasoning may imply a genuine quantum nonlocality and will deepen our understanding of nonlocality of nature.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure; comments are welcom

Properties of Geometric Potential in the Invariant Adiabatic Theory

We concentrate on the geometric potential in the invariant perturbation theory of quantum adiabatic process which is presented in our recent papers. It is found out to be related to the geodesic curvature of the spherical curve in 2-dimension quantum systems. We also show that the geometric potential may affect adiabatic approximation remarkably.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure

Adiabatic Approximation Condition

In this paper, we present an invariant perturbation theory of the adiabatic process based on the concepts of U(1)-invariant adiabatic orbit and U(1)-invariant adiabatic expansion. As its application, we propose and discuss new adiabatic approximation conditions.Comment: 4 pages, no figure

Calculation of entanglement for continious variable states

In this paper, we present a general formula for obtaining the reduced density opeator for any biparticle pure entangled state. Using this formula, we derive, in a compact form, the explicit formula of the entanglement for any bipartical pure entangled Gaussian state. In the case of Gaussian states, the criteria of separabelity can be naturely obtained by the formula. For non-Gaussian states, we also show the usefulness of the method presented in this paper.Comment: 4 pages, no figur
