    Recent Developments in Parallelization of the Multidimensional Integration Package DICE

    Full text link
    DICE is a general purpose multidimensional numerical integration package. There can be two ways in the parallelization of DICE, "distributing random numbers into workers" and "distributing hypercubes into workers". Furthermore, there can be the combination of both ways. So far, we had developed the parallelization code using the former way and reported it in ACAT2002 in Moscow. Here, we will present the recent developments of parallelized DICE in the latter way as the 2nd stage of our parallelization activities.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, Talk given at the X International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research, ACAT 2005, DESY-Zeuthen, Germany, 22-27 May 200

    Oscillations of the purity in the repeated-measurement-based generation of quantum states

    Full text link
    Repeated observations of a quantum system interacting with another one can drive the latter toward a particular quantum state, irrespectively of its initial condition, because of an {\em effective non-unitary evolution}. If the target state is a pure one, the degree of purity of the system approaches unity, even when the initial condition of the system is a mixed state. In this paper we study the behavior of the purity from the initial value to the final one, that is unity. Depending on the parameters, after a finite number of measurements, the purity exhibits oscillations, that brings about a lower purity than that of the initial state, which is a point to be taken care of in concrete applications.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

    Selective writing and read-out of a register of static qubits

    Get PDF
    We propose a setup comprising an arbitrarily large array of static qubits (SQs), which interact with a flying qubit (FQ). The SQs work as a quantum register, which can be written or read-out by means of the FQ through quantum state transfer (QST). The entire system, including the FQ's motional degrees of freedom, behaves quantum mechanically. We demonstrate a strategy allowing for selective QST between the FQ and a single SQ chosen from the register. This is achieved through a perfect mirror located beyond the SQs and suitable modulation of the inter-SQ distances.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure

    Extraction of an Entanglement by Repetition of the Resonant Transmission of an Ancilla Qubit

    Full text link
    A scheme for the extraction of entanglement in two noninteracting qubits (spins) is proposed. The idea is to make use of resonant transmission of ancilla qubit through the two fixed qubits, controlled by the entanglement in the scatterers. Repetition of the resonant transmission extracts the singlet state in the target qubits from their arbitrary given state. Neither the preparation nor the post-selection of the ancilla spin is required, in contrast to the previously proposed schemes.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figure

    Entanglement Purification through Zeno-like Measurements

    We present a novel method to purify quantum states, i.e. purification through Zeno-like measurements, and show an application to entanglement purification.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure; Contribution to the Proceedings of "Mysteries, Puzzles and Paradoxes in Quantum Mechanics", Gargnano, Italy, 2003 (to be published in J.

    Entanglement-assisted tomography of a quantum target

    Full text link
    We study the efficiency of quantum tomographic reconstruction where the system under investigation (quantum target) is indirectly monitored by looking at the state of a quantum probe that has been scattered off the target. In particular we focus on the state tomography of a qubit through a one-dimensional scattering of a probe qubit, with a Heisenberg-type interaction. Via direct evaluation of the associated quantum Cram\'{e}r-Rao bounds, we compare the accuracy efficiency that one can get by adopting entanglement-assisted strategies with that achievable when entanglement resources are not available. Even though sub-shot noise accuracy levels are not attainable, we show that quantum correlations play a significant role in the estimation. A comparison with the accuracy levels obtainable by direct estimation (not through a probe) of the quantum target is also performed.Comment: 22 pages, 9 figure
