Nonstandard Unitary Transformations of Quantum States

In quantum optics, unitary transformations of arbitrary states are evaluated by using the Taylor series expansion. However, this traditional approach can become cumbersome for the transformations involving non-commuting operators. Addressing this issue, a nonstandard unitary transformation technique is highlighted here with new perspective. In a spirit of “quantum” series expansions, the transition probabilities between initial and final states, such as displaced, squeezed and other nonlinearly transformed coherent states are obtained both numerically and analytically. This paper concludes that, although this technique is novel, its implementations for more extended systems are needed.

Unitary Transformation in Quantum Teleportation

In the well-known treatment of quantum teleportation, the receiver should convert the state of his EPR particle into the replica of the unknown quantum state by one of four possible unitary transformations. However, the importance of these unitary transformations must be emphasized. We will show in this paper that the receiver cannot transform the state of his particle into an exact replica of the unknown state which the sender wants to transfer if he has not a proper implementation of these unitary transformations. In the procedure of converting state, the inevitable coupling between EPR particle and environment which is needed by the implementation of unitary transformations will reduce the accuracy of the replica.

Unitary transformation of general nonoverlapping-image multimode interference couplers with any input and output ports

An explanation of optical unitary transformation is presented for general nonoverlapping-image multimode interference(MMI)couplers with any number of input and output ports.The light transformation in the MMI coupler can be considered as an optical field matrix acting on an input light column vector.We investigate the general phase principle of output light image.The complete proof of nonoverlapping-image MMI coupler’s optical unitarity along with the phase analysis of matrix element is provided.Based on a two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain(2 D-FDTD)simulation,the unitary transformation is obtained for a 4×4 nonoverlapping-image MMI coupler within a deviation of 4×10-2 for orthogonal invariance and 8×10-2 for transvection invariance in the C-band spectral range.A compact 1×4 splitter based on cascaded MMI coupler is proposed,showing a phase deviation less than 5.4°while maintaining a low-loss performance in C-band spectra.

Quantum Systems Connected by a Time-Dependent Canonical Transformation

We study both classical and quantum relation between two Hamiltonian systems which are mutually connected by time-dependent canonical transformation. One is ordinary conservative system and the other is timedependent Hamiltonian system. The quantum unitary operator relevant to classical canonical transformation between the two systems are obtained through rigorous evaluation. With the aid of the unitary operator, we have derived quantum states of the time-dependent Hamiltonian system through transforming the quantum states of the conservative system. The invariant operators of the two systems are presented and the relation between them are addressed. We showed that there exist numerous Hamiltonians, which gives the same classical equation of motion. Though it is impossible to distinguish the systems described by these Hamiltonians within the realm of classical mechanics, they can be distinguishable quantum mechanically.

Gradient Transformation of Momentum and Single-Valued Vector Potential in Nonrelativistic Dynamics

A vector potential of a magnetic field in Lagrangian is defined as the necessary partial solution of a inhomogeneous differential equation. The ＂gradient transformation＂ is an addition of arbitrary general solution of the corresponding homogeneous equation that does not change the Lagrange equations. When dynamics is described by momenta and coordinates, this transformation is not the vector potential modification, which does not change expressions for other physical quantities, but a canonical transformation of momentum, which changes expressions for all fimctions of momentum, not changing the Poisson brackets, and, hence, the integrals of motion. The generating function of this transformation must reverse sign under the time-charge reversal. In quantum mechanics the unitary transformation corresponds to this canonical transformation. It also does not change the commutation relations. The phase of this unitary operator also must reverse sign under the time-charge reversal. Examples of necessary vector potentials for some magnetic fields are presented.

Real-domain GMUSIC algorithm based on unitary-transform for low-angle estimation

In order to realize the elevation angle estimation for low-altitude targets at a low computational cost, a generalized multiple signal classification （GMUSIC） algorithm based on unitary transform is proposed, i.e., the DU-GMUSlC algorithm. Firstly, the covariance matrix of received data is used to construct the Centro- Hermitian matrix. Then, the real-domain GMUSIC algorithm is used to implement the initial angle estimation, and the multipath attenuation coefficient is calculated in succession. Finally, the attenuation coefficient is taken into account in the GMUSIC method to carry out the secondary angle estimation which is beneficial to further improvement of the angle estimation accuracy. This method can meet requirements of low-angle accuracy as well as lower computational burden. Simulation results prove the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Moreover, field experiment data are used to further validate the effectiveness of this method.

Probabilistic teleportation of an arbitrary three-particle state

A scheme for teleporting an arbitrary and unknown three-particle state from a sender to either one of two receivers is proposed. The quantum channel is composed of a two-particle non-maximally entangled state and two three-particle non-maximally entangled W states. An arbitrary three-particle state can be perfectly teleported probabilistically if the sender performs three generalized Bell-state measurements and sends to the two receivers the classical result of these measurements, and either one of the two receivers adopts an appropriate unitary transformation conditioned on the suitable measurement outcomes of the other receiver. All kinds of unitary transformations are given in detail.

Teleportation of an Arbitrary Three-Particle State via Three EPR Pairs

Probabilistic teleportation of multi-particle partially entangled state

Utilizing the generalized measurement described by positive operator-wlued measure, this paper comes up with a protocol for teleportation of an unknown multi-particle entangled （GHZ） state with a certain probability. The feature of the present protocol is to weaken requirement for the quantum channel initially shared by sender and receiver. All unitary transformations performed by receiver are summarized into a formula. On the other hand, this paper explicitly constructs the efficient quantum circuits for implementing the proposed teleportation by means of universal quantum logic operations in quantum computation.

Probabilistic Teleportation of an Arbitrary Two-Particle State and Its Quantum Circuits

Two simple schemes for probabilistic teleportation of an arbitrary unknown two-particle state using a non-maximally entangled EPR pair and a non-maximally entangled GHZ state as quantum channels are proposed. After receiving Alice＇s Bell state measurement results, Bob performs a collective unitary transformation on his inherent particles without introducing the auxiliary qubit. The original state can be probabilistically teleported. Meanwhile, quantum circuits for realization of successful teleportation are also presented.

Probabilistic teleportation of a non-symmetric three-particle state

This paper proposes a scheme for teleporting a kind of essential three-particle non-symmetric entangled state, which is much more valuable than a GHZ and W state for some applications in quantum information processing. In comparison with previous proposal of teleportation, the resources of entangled states as quantum channel and the number of classical messages required by our scheme can be cut down. Moreover, it is shown that there exists a class of transformations which ensure the success of this scheme, because the two-particle transformation performed by the receiver in the course of teleportation may be a generic two-particle operation instead of a control-NOT （CNOT） operation. In addition, all kinds of transformations performed by sender and receiver are given in detail.

Remote Preparation of a Two-Particle Entangled State by a Bipartite Entangled State and a Tripartite Entangled W State

We propose a scheme to remotely prepare a general two-particle entangled state by using a bipartite entangled state and a tripartite entangled W state as the quantum channel. Our scheme consists of one sender and two remote receivers. The sender can help either one of the receivers to remotely reconstruct the original state with the assistance of the other receiver＇s single-partlcle orthogona/measurement. We obtain the total success probability and discuss the classical communication cost in our remote state preparation scheme.

Controlled Teleportation of an Arbitrary Two-Particle State by One EPR Pair and Cluster State

A scheme for controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-particle state using a maximally entangled EPR pair and a cluster state as the quantum channel is proposed. After receiving Alice＇s Bell state measurement results, the controller performs a joint measurement on his particles under a non-maximally entangled Bell-basis. The receiver needs to introduce an auxiliary qubit, and performs a series of appropriate unitary transformations on his particles. The original state can be teleported successfully with the probability 2 cos2θ.

Controlled Quantum Teleportation of a One-Particle Unknown State via a Three-Particle Entangled State

A kind of three-particle entangled state is applied as quantum channel of the controlled quantum teleporration of a one-particle unknown state. The one-particle unknown state is transmitted from the sender to the recipient under the control of the supervisor. After the sender makes Bell-state measurement and the supervisor performs von Neumann measurement, the recipient carries out unitary transformation on his own particle depending on classical information from the sender and the supervisor. The teleportation cannot be completed successfully by the recipient if the supervisor does not agree to cooperate. The roles of the recipient and the supervisor may be exchanged in this scheme. The scheme is flexible and feasible because the sequence of manipulation of the sender and the supervisor may be exchanged and only simple unitary transformation is included.

Generation of the nonlocal quantum entanglement of three three-level particles by local operations

We propose a scheme to realize the nonlocal quantum entanglement of three three-level particles by using a threeparticle entangled state of three levels as a quantum channel with the aid of some local unitary transformations. This scheme can be directly generalized to the nonlocal quantum entanglement of N three-level particles.
