Many-Agent Controlled Teleportation of Multi-qubit Quantum Information via Quantum Entanglement Swapping

We present a method to teleport multi-qubit quantum information in an easy way from a sender to a receiver via the control of many agents in a network. Only when all the agents collaborate with the quantum information receiver can the unknown states in the sender＇s qubits be fully reconstructed in the receiver＇s qubits. In our method, agents＇s control parameters are obtained via quantum entanglement swapping. As the realization of the many-agent controlled teleportation is concerned, compared to the recent method [G.P. Yang, et al., Phys. Rev. A 70 （2004） 022329], our present method considerably reduces the preparation difficulty of initial states and the identification difficulty of entangled states, moreover, it does not need local Hadamard operations and it is more feasible in technology.

Characterizations of Abandoned Peatlands from Acadian Peninsula： Agro-ecologic and Environmental Value-Added Alternatives

In the northeast region of New Brunswick, the majority of peatlands are mainly used for horticultural purposes. Abandoned peatlands after peat extraction could represent one of the most important ecological resources through their remaining substrates： serving as agronomic, ecological or environmental value-added support to local development; and giving a second economic life to peatlands. To evaluate this innovative peat soil management, a study was conducted on three residual peatlands from the Acadian Peninsula. Their status was described through a physic-chemical characterization. The results suggest that the peat thickness and the mineral horizon characteristics are good indicators to identify these post-harvest peat soils. The studied sites were characterized by a flat topography, poor and unequal drainage inducing a variation of the water table level. The peat thickness ranged from 18 cm to 40 cm, while the thickness of the mineral horizon--mostly sandy--ranged between 20 cm and 30 cm. The chemical properties revealed an electrical conductivity above 50 μS·cm^-1, an acid pH, and a variable cation exchange capacity （1.3 cmolc·kg^-1 to 11.4 cmolc·kg^-1）. This preliminary study gives basic knowledge on Acadian Peninsula abandoned peatlands soils and gives information about the conditions of their agro-economic, ecological and/or environmental management.

THE FUNDAMENTAL GROUP OF THE AUTOMORPHISM GROUP OF A NONCOMMUTATIVE TORUS THE FUNDAMENTAL GROUP OF THE AUTOMORPHISM GROUP OF A NONCOMMUTATIVE TORUS

Assume that each completely irrational noncommutative torus is realized as an inductive limit of circle algebras, and that for a completely irrational noncommutative torus Aω of rank m there are a completely irrational noncommutative torus Aρ of rank m and a positive integer d such that tr（Aω） = tr（Aρ）. It is proved that the set of all C*-algebras of sections of locally trivial C*-algebra bundles over S2 with fibres Aω. has a group structure, denoted by π1（Aut（Aω.））, which is isomorphic to Z if d > 1 and {0} if d > 1. Let Bcd be a cd-homogeneous C*-algebra over S2 x T2 of which no non-trivial matrix algebra can be factored out. The spherical noncommutative torns Sρcd is defined by twisting C*（T2 x Zm-2） in Bcd C* （Z（m-2）） by a totally skew multiplier ρ on T2 x Z（m-2）. It is shown that Sρcd Mp∞ is isomorphic to C（S2） C* （T2 x Zm-2, ρ） Mcd（C） Mp∞ if and only if the set of prime factors of cd is a subset of the set of prime factors of p.
