Trace Distance of Remote State Preparation Through Noisy Channels

In this paper, we study remote state preparation (RSP) by w state through noisy channels. The trace distance is used to describe how close the original state is to the output state. Studies show the trace distance is a function of decohenrence rates and angles of the state to be prepared. At the same time, we investigate the influence of different types of noises on the trace distance and find the various types of noises have different degrees of influence on the trace distance for a definite qubit. We also study changes of the trace distance against polar and azimuthal angles.

Relative ordering of square-norm distance correlations in open quantum systems

We investigate the square-norm distance correlation dynamics of the Bell-diagonal states under different local deco- herence channels, including phase flip, bit flip, and bit-phase flip channels by employing the geometric discord （GD） and its modified geometric discord （MGD）, as the measures of the square-norm distance correlations. Moreover, an explicit comparison between them is made in detail. The results show that there is no distinct dominant relative ordering between them. Furthermore, we obtain that the GD just gradually deceases to zero, while MGD initially has a large freezing interval, and then suddenly changes in evolution. The longer the freezing interval, the less the MGD is. Interestingly, it is shown that the dynamic behaviors of the two geometric discords under the three noisy environments for the Werner-type initial states are the same.

Comment on "Compare Quantum Operation Sensitivity for Different Distance Measures"

We make comments on the conclusions of the paper:'Compare Quantum Operation Sensitivity for DifferentDistance Measures' [Commun.Theor.Phys.53 (2010)635],and give a physical example to describe the non-equivalenceof the fidelity and the trace distance.We prove that the fidelity is not more sensitive to a quantum operation than thetrace distance.

Analysis of dynamical properties for the two-site Bose Hubbard model with an algebraic method

In this work, we propose an algebraic recursion method to study the dynamical evolution of the two-site Bose- Hubbard model. We analyze its properties from the viewpoints of single partite purity, energy, and trace distance, in which the model is considered as a typical bipartite system. The analytical expressions for the quantities are derived. We show that the purity can well reflect the transition between different regimes for the system. In addition, we demonstrate that the transition from the delocalization regime to the self-trapping regime with the ratio r/increasing not only happens for an initially local state but also for any initial states. Furthermore, we confirm that the dynamics of the system presents a periodicity for η = 0 and the period is tc =π/2J when the initial state is symmetric.

Effects of Phase Damping on Controlled Teleportation of a Qubit by a GHZ State

We investigate controlled teleportation ofa qubit via a GHZ state with the influence of phase damping in the Bloch sphere representation. We use the average trace distance to describe how close the output state is to the input state to be teleported. Our results show that the average trace distance is a function of decoherence rates and angles of the analyzer performed by the controller in the single-particle projective measurement. Moreover, for a fixed value of the decoherence rate, one can adjust the analyzer angle to achieve the optimal average trace distance.
