Equation of motion for multiqubit entanglement in multiple independent noisy channels
We investigate the possibility and conditions to factorize the entanglement
evolution of a multiqubit system passing through multi-sided noisy channels. By
means of a lower bound of concurrence (LBC) as entanglement measure, we derive
an explicit formula of LBC evolution of the N-qubit generalized
Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GGHZ) state under some typical noisy channels,
based on which two kinds of factorizing conditions for the LBC evolution are
presented. In this case, the time-dependent LBC can be determined by a product
of initial LBC of the system and the LBC evolution of a maximally entangled
GGHZ state under the same multi-sided noisy channels. We analyze the realistic
situations where these two kinds of factorizing conditions can be satisfied. In
addition, we also discuss the dependence of entanglement robustness on the
number of the qubits and that of the noisy channels.Comment: 14 page

Could Inflammaging and Its Sequelae Be Prevented or Mitigated?
Aged humans display a chronic and low-grade inflammation, termed "inflammaging", which has been potentially linked to the subsequent development of some aging-associated systemic disorders, including type 2 diabetes, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and obesity. Though the origin of aging-associated systemic inflammation is uncertain, epidemiological studies show that inflammatory dermatoses (psoriasis and eczema) are risk factors for some aging-associated systemic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Moreover, recent studies demonstrate that epidermal dysfunction in aged skin not only causes cutaneous inflammation, but also a subsequent increase in circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines, suggesting that the skin could be a major contributor to inflammaging. This hypothesis is further supported by reductions in circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines in both aged humans and murine, following improvements in epidermal function with topical emollients. Therefore, correction of epidermal dysfunction could be a novel approach for the prevention and mitigation of certain inflammation-associated chronic disorders in aged humans
Atomic entanglement sudden death in a strongly driven cavity QED system
We study the entanglement dynamics of strongly driven atoms off-resonantly
coupled with cavity fields. We consider conditions characterized not only by
the atom-field coupling but also by the atom-field detuning. By studying two
different models within the framework of cavity QED, we show that the so-called
atomic entanglement sudden death (ESD) always occurs if the atom-field coupling
lager than the atom-field detuning, and is independent of the type of initial
atomic state
Quantum Speed Limit for Perfect State Transfer in One Dimension
The basic idea of spin chain engineering for perfect quantum state transfer
(QST) is to find a set of coupling constants in the Hamiltonian, such that a
particular state initially encoded on one site will evolve freely to the
opposite site without any dynamical controls. The minimal possible evolution
time represents a speed limit for QST. We prove that the optimal solution is
the one simulating the precession of a spin in a static magnetic field. We also
argue that, at least for solid-state systems where interactions are local, it
is more realistic to characterize the computation power by the couplings than
the initial energy.Comment: 5 pages, no figure; improved versio
Actin Sequences and Associated Elements in the Mouse Genome
This work describes the structural analysis of four mouse genomic clones which had previously been shown by electron microscopic heteroduplex analysis to contain actin-like genes, each with a single interruption. The objective of this work was to determine the nature of these interruptions
A method to find quantum noiseless subsystems
We develop a structure theory for decoherence-free subspaces and noiseless
subsystems that applies to arbitrary (not necessarily unital) quantum
operations. The theory can be alternatively phrased in terms of the
superoperator perspective, or the algebraic noise commutant formalism. As an
application, we propose a method for finding all such subspaces and subsystems
for arbitrary quantum operations. We suggest that this work brings the
fundamental passive technique for error correction in quantum computing an
important step closer to practical realization.Comment: 5 pages, to appear in Physical Review Letter
