Controlled quantum teleportation and secure direct communication
We present a controlled quantum teleportation protocol. In the protocol,
quantum information of an unknown state of a 2-level particle is faithfully
transmitted from a sender (Alice) to a remote receiver (Bob) via an initially
shared triplet of entangled particles under the control of the supervisor
Charlie. The distributed entangled particles shared by Alice, Bob and Charlie
function as a quantum information channel for faithful transmission. We also
propose a controlled and secure direct communication scheme by means of this
teleportation. After insuring the security of the quantum channel, Alice
encodes the secret message directly on a sequence of particle states and
transmits them to Bob supervised by Charlie using this controlled quantum
teleportation. Bob can read out the encoded message directly by the measurement
on his qubit. In this scheme, the controlled quantum teleportation transmits
Alice's message without revealing any information to a potential eavesdropper.
Because there is not a transmission of the qubit carrying the secret message
between Alice and Bob in the public channel, it is completely secure for
controlled and direct secret communication if perfect quantum channel is used.
The feature of this scheme is that the communication between two sides depends
on the agreement of the third side.Comment: 4 page

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of volcanic rocks from Daimao Seamount (South China Sea) and their tectonic implications
The South China Sea (SCS) experienced three episodes of seafloor spreading and left three fossil spreading centers presently located at 18°N, 17°N and 15.5°N. Spreading ceased at these three locations during magnetic anomaly 10, 8, and 5c, respectively. Daimao Seamount (16.6. Ma) was formed 10. my after the cessation of the 17°N spreading center. Volcaniclastic rocks and shallow-water carbonate facies near the summit of Daimao Seamount provide key information on the seamount's geologic history. New major and trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic compositions of basaltic breccia clasts in the volcaniclastics suggest that Daimao and other SCS seamounts have typical ocean island basalt-like composition and possess a 'Dupal' isotopic signature. Our new analyses, combined with available data, indicate that the basaltic foundation of Daimao Seamount was formed through subaqueous explosive volcanic eruptions at 16.6. Ma. The seamount subsided rapidly (>. 0.12. mm/y) at first, allowing the deposition of shallow-water, coral-bearing carbonates around its summit and, then, at a slower rate (<. 0.12. mm/y). We propose that the parental magmas of SCS seamount lavas originated from the Hainan mantle plume. In contrast, lavas from contemporaneous seamounts in other marginal basins in the western Pacific are subduction-related
