The Magnetic Anisotropy and Complete Phase Diagram of CuFeO2 Measured in a Pulsed High Magnetic Field up to 75 T

The magnetization behavior of a CuFeO2 single crystal grown by the floating zone technique is investigated with a pulsed high magnetic field. We observe a series of field-induced multi-step-like transitions with hysteresis, of which the critical magnetic fields are temperature-dependent and show anisotropy. By using a pulsed high magnetic field up to 75 T, the magnetization behavior shows that the critical transition magnetic fields of spin- flip/flop shift to lower field regions with an increase in temperature. According to the magnetization curves, a complete magnetic phase diagram is depicted.

Measurement-device-independent one-step quantum secure direct communication

The one-step quantum secure direct communication(QSDC)(Sci.Bull.67,367(2022))can effectively simplify QSDC’s operation and reduce message loss.For enhancing its security under practical experimental condition,we propose two measurement-device-independent(MDI)one-step QSDC protocols,which can resist all possible attacks from imperfect measurement devices.In both protocols,the communication parties prepare identical polarization-spatial-mode two-photon hyperentangled states and construct the hyperentanglement channel by hyperentanglement swapping.The first MDI one-step QSDC protocol adopts the nonlinear-optical complete hyperentanglement Bell state measurement(HBSM)to construct the hyperentanglement channel,while the second protocol adopts the linear-optical partial HBSM.Then,the parties encode the photons in the polarization degree of freedom and send them to the third party for the hyperentanglementassisted complete polarization Bell state measurement.Both protocols are unconditionally secure in theory.The simulation results show the MDI one-step QSDC protocol with complete HBSM attains the maximal communication distance of about354 km.Our MDI one-step QSDC protocols may have potential applications in the future quantum secure communication field.

Detecting high-dimensional multipartite entanglement via some classes of measurements

Mutually unbiased bases, mutually unbiased measurements and general symmetric informationally complete measure- ments are three related concepts in quantum information theory. We investigate multipartite systems using these notions and present some criteria detecting entanglement of arbitrary high dimensional multi-qudit systems and multipartite sys- tems of subsystems with different dimensions. It is proved that these criteria can detect the k-nonseparability （k is even） of multipartite qudit systems and arbitrary high dimensional multipartite systems of m subsystems with different dimensions. We show that they are more efficient and wider of application range than the previous ones. They provide experimental implementation in detecting entanglement without full quantum state tomography.

Experimental Study of Two-Alpha Emission from High-Lying Excited States of ^(17,18)Ne

The experiments of two-alpha emission from 17,18^Ne excited levels were performed at the HIRFL-RIBLL facility of the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou. The beams of 17^Ne at the energy of 49.9 MeV/u and lSNe at 51.8 MeV/u bombarded a 197Au target to populate excited states of 17,18^Ne via Coulomb excitation. Complete kinematics measurements were achieved by the detectors of a silicon strip and CsI＋PIN array. The experimental results combined with simple MC simulations show the characteristic of sequential two-alpha emission via 140 excited states for lSNe. The results of two-alpha emission from 17^Ne are preliminary and need further analyses.

Two schemes of perfect teleportation one-particle state by a three-particle general W state

In teleportation, it can be seen that the probability of success is determined by Alice＇s measurement and quantum channel, ff the Alice＇s measurement is appropriate, the teleportation can be successfully realized with the maximal probability. In accordance with transformation operator, two schemes are proposed for teleportation of an unknown one-particle state via a general W state, through which the successful probability and the fidelity of both schemes reach 1. Furthermore, two optimal matches of orthogonal complete measurement bases are given for teleporting an unknown one-particle state.

Average coherence with respect to complementary measurements

We investigate the average coherence with respect to a complete set of complementary measurements.By using a Wigner-Yanase skew information-based coherence measure introduced in Luo and Sun(2017 Phys.Rev.A 96,022130),we evaluate the average coherence of a state with respect to any complete set of mutually unbiased measurements and general symmetric informationally complete measurements,respectively.We also establish analytically the relations among these average coherences.
