Effects of quantum noise on teleportation of arbitrary two-qubit state via five-particle Brown state

We propose a new protocol for quantum teleportation(QT)which adopts the Brown state as the quantum channel.This work focuses on the teleportation of a single unknown two-qubit state via a Brown state channel in an ideal environment.To validate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme,we conduct experiments by using the quantum circuit simulator Quirk.Furthermore,we investigate the effects of four noisy channels,namely,the phase damping noise,the bit-flip noise,the amplitude damping noise,and the phase-flip noise.Notably,we employ Monte Carlo simulation to elucidate the fidelity density under various noise parameters.Our analysis demonstrates that the fidelity of the protocol in a noisy environment is influenced significantly by the amplitude of the initial state and the noise factor.

Application of Optical Kerr Gate with SrTiO3 Crystal in Acquisition of Gated Spectra from a Supercontinuum

We investigate the optical Kerr effect of SrTiO3 (STO) crystal,of which the nonlinear response time was measured to be less than 200fs,while the nonlinear refractive index is estimated to be 2.16 × 10^(-15)cm^(2)/W.Using theoptical Kerr gate (OKG) technique with an STO crystal as the Kerr medium,we obtain narrow-bandwidth and symmetric gated spectra from a supercontinuum generated in distilled water by a femtosecond laser.The experimental results show superiority compared with the gated spectra obtained using OKG with CS2 as the Kerr medium,demonstrating that STO crystal is a promising OKG medium.

Deterministic remote state preparation of arbitrary three-qubit state through noisy cluster-GHZ channel

We propose a novel scheme for remote state preparation of an arbitrary three-qubit state with unit success probability,utilizing a nine-qubit cluster-GHZ state without introducing auxiliary qubits.Furthermore,we proceed to investigate the effects of different quantum noises(e.g.,amplitude-damping,phase-damping,bit-flip and phase-flip noises)on the systems.The fidelity results of three-qubit target state are presented,which are usually used to illustrate how close the output state is to the target state.To compare the different effects between the four common types of quantum noises,the fidelities under one specific identical target state are also calculated and discussed.It is found that the fidelity of the phase-flip noisy channel drops the fastest through the four types of noisy channels,while the fidelity is found to always maintain at 1 in bit-flip noisy channel.

The thermal effects on the processing of type-I IR fiber Bragg gratings(FBGs)using a femtosecond laser with a phase mask are investigated.Thermal effects are significantly suppressed by using interval exposure mode and reducing the tension on the fiber.FBGs with improved photo-induced refractive index modulation are fabricated in the standard telecom fiber.The index modulation reaches 1.6×10^(-3).The reflectivity and bandwidth are measured to be-0.36 dB and 1.27 nm,respectively.

Elimination of the Coherent Artifact in a Pump-Probe Experiment by Directly Detecting the Background-Free Diffraction Signal

The influence of the coherent artifact in a semiconductor Ga-doped ZnO film on femtosecond pump-probe measurement is studied.The coherent artifact mixed into the pump-probe signal can be directly inspected by detecting the background-free first-order diffraction signal induced by the interference between the pump and probe pulses.Experimental results show that by varying the polarization angle or adjusting the relative intensity between the pump and probe pulses,the coherent artifact can be eliminated from the pump-probe measurement.

Tailoring MXene Thickness and Functionalization for Enhanced Room‑Temperature Trace NO_(2) Sensing

In this study,precise control over the thickness and termination of Ti3C2TX MXene flakes is achieved to enhance their electrical properties,environmental stability,and gas-sensing performance.Utilizing a hybrid method involving high-pressure processing,stirring,and immiscible solutions,sub-100 nm MXene flake thickness is achieved within the MXene film on the Si-wafer.Functionalization control is achieved by defunctionalizing MXene at 650℃ under vacuum and H2 gas in a CVD furnace,followed by refunctionalization with iodine and bromine vaporization from a bubbler attached to the CVD.Notably,the introduction of iodine,which has a larger atomic size,lower electronegativity,reduce shielding effect,and lower hydrophilicity(contact angle:99°),profoundly affecting MXene.It improves the surface area(36.2 cm^(2) g^(-1)),oxidation stability in aqueous/ambient environments(21 days/80 days),and film conductivity(749 S m^(-1)).Additionally,it significantly enhances the gas-sensing performance,including the sensitivity(0.1119Ωppm^(-1)),response(0.2% and 23%to 50 ppb and 200 ppm NO_(2)),and response/recovery times(90/100 s).The reduced shielding effect of the–I-terminals and the metallic characteristics of MXene enhance the selectivity of I-MXene toward NO2.This approach paves the way for the development of stable and high-performance gas-sensing two-dimensional materials with promising prospects for future studies.

Chaotic Map-Based Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol with Low-Latency for Metasystem

With the rapid advancement in exploring perceptual interactions and digital twins,metaverse technology has emerged to transcend the constraints of space-time and reality,facilitating remote AI-based collaboration.In this dynamic metasystem environment,frequent information exchanges necessitate robust security measures,with Authentication and Key Agreement(AKA)serving as the primary line of defense to ensure communication security.However,traditional AKA protocols fall short in meeting the low-latency requirements essential for synchronous interactions within the metaverse.To address this challenge and enable nearly latency-free interactions,a novel low-latency AKA protocol based on chaotic maps is proposed.This protocol not only ensures mutual authentication of entities within the metasystem but also generates secure session keys.The security of these session keys is rigorously validated through formal proofs,formal verification,and informal proofs.When confronted with the Dolev-Yao(DY)threat model,the session keys are formally demonstrated to be secure under the Real-or-Random(ROR)model.The proposed protocol is further validated through simulations conducted using VMware workstation compiled in HLPSL language and C language.The simulation results affirm the protocol’s effectiveness in resisting well-known attacks while achieving the desired low latency for optimal metaverse interactions.

Flexible capacitive pressure sensor based on interdigital electrodes with porous microneedle arrays for physiological signal monitoring

Flexible pressure sensors have many potential applications in the monitoring of physiological signals because of their good biocompatibil-ity and wearability.However,their relatively low sensitivity,linearity,and stability have hindered their large-scale commercial application.Herein,aflexible capacitive pressure sensor based on an interdigital electrode structure with two porous microneedle arrays(MNAs)is pro-posed.The porous substrate that constitutes the MNA is a mixed product of polydimethylsiloxane and NaHCO3.Due to its porous and interdigital structure,the maximum sensitivity(0.07 kPa-1)of a porous MNA-based pressure sensor was found to be seven times higher than that of an imporous MNA pressure sensor,and it was much greater than that of aflat pressure sensor without a porous MNA structure.Finite-element analysis showed that the interdigital MNA structure can greatly increase the strain and improve the sensitivity of the sen-sor.In addition,the porous MNA-based pressure sensor was found to have good stability over 1500 loading cycles as a result of its bilayer parylene-enhanced conductive electrode structure.Most importantly,it was found that the sensor could accurately monitor the motion of afinger,wrist joint,arm,face,abdomen,eye,and Adam’s apple.Furthermore,preliminary semantic recognition was achieved by monitoring the movement of the Adam’s apple.Finally,multiple pressure sensors were integrated into a 33 array to detect a spatial pressure distribu-×tion.Compared to the sensors reported in previous works,the interdigital electrode structure presented in this work improves sensitivity and stability by modifying the electrode layer rather than the dielectric layer.

Novel traveling quantum anonymous voting scheme via GHZ states

Based on traveling ballot mode,we propose a secure quantum anonymous voting via Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger(GHZ)states.In this scheme,each legal voter performs unitary operation on corresponding position of particle sequence to encode his/her voting content.The voters have multiple ballot items to choose rather than just binary options“yes”or“no”.After counting votes phase,any participant who is interested in voting results can obtain the voting results.To improve the efficiency of the traveling quantum anonymous voting scheme,an optimization method based on grouping strategy is also presented.Compared with the most existing traveling quantum voting schemes,the proposed scheme is more practical because of its privacy,verifiability and non-repeatability.Furthermore,the security analysis shows that the proposed traveling quantum anonymous voting scheme can prevent various attacks and ensure high security.

Channel parameters-independent multi-hop nondestructive teleportation

A multi-hop nondestructive teleportation scheme independent of channel parameters based on Bell pairs is presented,where the coefficients of the quantum channel are unknown to all the communication nodes.With Bell measurement and channel matching technology the unknown channel parameters can be eliminated probabilistically with the help of the intermediate nodes.Then the source node Alice can teleport an unknown state to the remote destination node Bob.In our scheme the teleportation is generalized first to the scenario independent of channel parameters,which makes the requirement of quantum channel reduced.Our scheme still preserves the initial unknown state even if this teleportation fails.Moreover,performance analysis shows that our scheme has a higher communication efficiency.

An evolutionary game based security decision algorithm for wireless sensor networks

When using traditional game methods to study information security of the wireless sensor networks,players are mostly based on the assumption of completely rational.Based on bounded rationality,the evolutionary game theory is used to establish the attack-defense model,analyze the strategy selection process of players,solve the evolutionarily stable strategy and design the optimal strategy selection algorithm.Then,considering the strategy dependence,the incentive and punishment mechanism is introduced to improve the replicator dynamic equation.The simulation results show that the model is reasonable and the algorithm is effective,which provides new theoretical support for the security of wireless sensor networks.

In this Letter, we propose the electronic manipulation of localized surface plasmon resonance for active tuning in near-field nanofocusing.We theoretically studied the excited graphene tuning of the nanofocusing field in fewlayer graphene(FLG)-based hybrid nanotips.It is revealed that the normalized enhanced electric field can be significantly promoted to more than 300 times.It is also observed that resonant peaks can be unprecedently modified by the electron state of excited graphene that is embedded in the substrate.It shows the possibility of flexible tuning of plasmon resonances via controlling the electron excitation state of graphene for specific advanced near-field nanofocusing applications.

Faster AMEDA-A Hybrid Mesoscale Eddy Detection Algorithm

Identification of ocean eddies from a large amount of ocean data provided by satellite measurements and numerical simulations is crucial,while the academia has invented many traditional physical methods with accurate detection capability,but their detection computational efficiency is low.In recent years,with the increasing application of deep learning in ocean feature detection,many deep learning-based eddy detection models have been developed for more effective eddy detection from ocean data.But it is difficult for them to precisely fit some physical features implicit in traditional methods,leading to inaccurate identification of ocean eddies.In this study,to address the low efficiency of traditional physical methods and the low detection accuracy of deep learning models,we propose a solution that combines the target detection model Faster Region with CNN feature(Faster R-CNN)with the traditional dynamic algorithm Angular Momentum Eddy Detection and Tracking Algorithm(AMEDA).We use Faster R-CNN to detect and generate bounding boxes for eddies,allowing AMEDA to detect the eddy center within these bounding boxes,thus reducing the complexity of center detection.To demonstrate the detection efficiency and accuracy of this model,this paper compares the experimental results with AMEDA and the deep learning-based eddy detection method eddyNet.The results show that the eddy detection results of this paper are more accurate than eddyNet and have higher execution efficiency than AMEDA.
