Discontinuous ground-state transitions induced by an external magnetic field are shown. We find that, in the strong coupling case, the ground-state transitions depend not only on the external magnetic field B but also on the distance d between double-layer quantum dots. However, in the case of weak coupling, the ground-state transitions occur in the new sequence of the values of the magic angular momentum. Hence, the interlayer separation d and electron-electron interaction strongly affect the ground state of the coupled quantum dots.展开更多

In our protocol, the quantum information is encoded on the stable ground states of the two atoms. During the interaction between atoms and single-mode vacuum cavity-field, the atomic spontaneous emission is negligible as the large atom-cavity detuning effectively suppresses the spontaneous decay of the atoms. The influences of the dissipation and the deviation of interaction time on fidelity and corresponding success probability of the quantum Controlled-NOT gate and the experimental feasibility of our proposal are also discussed.展开更多

It is found that two-photon absorption can be completely suppressed just by properly adjusting the relative phase of four coherent low-intensity driving fields and the atomic system becomes trans- parent against two-photon absorption. From a physical point of view, we explicitly explain these results in terms of quantum interference induced by two different two-photon excitation channels.展开更多

The thermal equilibrium system is guaranteed to be entangled when system is cooled down below the entanglement temperature TE. By virtue of this concept we exploit the minimum separable state energy and entanglement temperature TE of the bilinear-biquadratic antiferromagnetic spin-1 chain model. We numerically calculate TE for arbitrary values of the strength of biquadratic exchange interaction Q up to N=7. We find TE decreases with Q for fixed N when Q is between -3 and 1/3 （J = 1）. In this regime TE also decreases with N for fixed Q and varies slowly for large N. While the thermal system is always entangled when Q is smaller than -3.展开更多
