Time evolution of a squeezed chaotic field in an amplitude damping channel when used as a generating field for a squeezed number state

We investigate how an optical squeezed chaotic field（SCF） evolves in an amplitude dissipation channel. We have used the integration within ordered product of operators technique to derive its evolution law. We also show that the density operator of SCF can be viewed as a generating field of the squeezed number state.

Entanglement-enhanced classical communication through generalized amplitude damping channel

The problem of sending a single classical bit through a generalized amplitude damping channel is considered. When two transmissions through the channel arc available as a resource, we find that two entangled transmissions can enhance the capability of receiver＇s judging information correctly under certain conditions compared with two productstate transmissions. In addition, we find a special case in which the two entangled transmissions can always make a classical bit more effectively disable the noise influence.

Bidirectional multi-qubit quantum teleportation in noisy channel aided with weak measurement

Recently,bidirectional quantum teleportation has attracted a great deal of research attention.However,existing bidirectional teleportation schemes are normally discussed on the basis of perfect quantum environments.In this paper,we first put forward a bidirectional teleportation scheme to transport three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger（GHZ） states based on controled-not（CNOT） operation and single-qubit measurement.Then,we generalize it to the teleportation of multi-qubit GHZ states.Further,we discuss the influence of quantum noise on our scheme by the example of an amplitude damping channel,then we obtain the fidelity of the teleportation.Finally,we utilize the weak measurement and the corresponding reversing measurement to protect the quantum entanglement,which shows an effective enhancement of the teleportation fidelity.

Decoherence suppression for three-qubit W-like state using weak measurement and iteration method

Multi-qubit entanglement states are the key resources for various multipartite quantum communication tasks. For a class of generalized three-qubit quantum entanglement, W-like state, we demonstrate that the weak measurement and the reversal measurement are capable of suppressing the amplitude damping decoherence by reducing the initial damping factor into a smaller equivalent damping factor. Furthermore, we propose an iteration method in the weak measurement and the reversal measurement to enhance the success probability of the total measurements. Finally, we discuss how the number of the iterations influences the overall effect of decoherence suppression, and find that the ＂half iteration＂ method is a better option that has more practical value.

Geometric discord for non-X states

The level surfaces of geometric discord for a class of two-qubit non-X states are investigated when the Bloch vectors are in arbitrary directions. The level surfaces of constant geometric discord are formed by three intersecting open tubes along three orthogc^nal directions. When Bloch vectors increase, the tubes along one or two directions shrink towards the center and may either totally disappear or the open tubes may become closed tubes when the Bloch vectors reach a critical value. In the generalized amplitude damping channel, the evolution of geometric discord shows double sudden changes when the parameter γ, increases. In the phase damping channel, the freezing phenomenon of geometric discord also exists.

Entanglement fidelity of channel adaptive quantum codes

We study the performances of quantum channel adaptive [4,1] code transmitting in a joint amplitude damping and dephasing channel, the [6,2] code transmitting in an amplitude damping channel by combining the encoding, noise process, and decoding as one effective channel. We explicitly obtain the entanglement fidelities. The recovery operators of the [6,2] code are given. The performance is nearly optimal compared with that of the optimal method of semidefinite programming.

Noisy teleportation of qubit states via the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state or the W state

The effects of distributing entanglement through the amplitude damping channel or the phase damping channel on the teleportation of a single-qubit state via the Greenberger Horne-Zeilinger state and the W state are discussed. It is found that the average fidelity of teleportation depends on the type and rate of the damping in the channel. For the one-qubit affected case, the Greenberger-Horne Zeilinger state is as robust as the W state, i.e., the same quantum information is preserved through teleportation. For the two-qubit affected case, the W state is more robust when the entanglement is distributed via the amplitude damping channel; if the entanglement is distributed via the phase damping channel, the W state is more robust when the noisy parameter is small while the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state becomes more robust when it is large. For the three-qubit affected case, the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state is more robust than the W state.

Improving entanglement of assistance by local parity–time symmetric operation

We investigate entanglement of assistance without and with decoherence using a local non-Hermitian operation, i.e.,parity–time(PT) symmetric operation. First we give the explicit expressions of entanglement of assistance for a general W-like state of a three-qubit system under a local parity–time symmetric operation. Then for a famous W state without decoherence, we find that entanglement of assistance shared by two parties can be obviously enhanced with the assistance of the third party by a local parity–time symmetric operation. For the decoherence case, we provide two schemes to show the effects of local parity–time symmetric operation on improvement of entanglement of assistance against amplitude damping noise. We find that for the larger amplitude damping case the scheme of PT symmetric operation performed on one of two parties with the influence of noise is superior to that of PT symmetric operation performed on the third party without the influence of noise in suppressing amplitude damping noise. However, for the smaller amplitude damping case the opposite result is given. The obtained results imply that the local PT symmetric operation method may have potential applications in quantum decoherence control.
