We analyze the entanglement dynamics of two-mode squeezed thermal state in this model and show that its entanglement dynamics is strongly determined by the two-mode squeezing parameter and the purity. In particular, we find that two-mode squeezed thermal state with the squeezing parameter r ≤ -(1/2) In √u is extremely fragile and almost does not survive in a common vacuum environment. We investigate the time evolution of nonlocality for two-mode squeezed thermal state in such an environment. It is found that the evolved state loses its nonlocality in the beginning of the evolution, but after a time, the revival of nonlocality can occur.展开更多

We also reveal that c-number .asymmetric shrink transform in the three-mode entangled state, i.e. |p, X2,X3)→μ^-1/2|p/μ, X2,X3), maps onto a kind of one-sided three-mode squeezing operator {iλ (∑i^3=1 Pi) (∑i^3=1 Qi) -λ/2}. Using the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators, we derive their normally ordered forms and construct the corresponding squeezed states.展开更多

A novel nonlinear state estimation method for fermentation process is proposed using cubature Kalman filter (CKF) to incorporate delayed measurements. The square-root version of CI(F (SCKF) algorithm is given and the system with delayed measurements is described. On this basis, the sample-state augmentation method for the SCKF algorithm is provided and the implementation of the proposed algorithm is constructed. Then a nonlinear state space model for fermentation process is established and the SCKF algorithm incorporating delayed measurements based on fermentation process model is presented to implement the nonlinear state estimation. Finally, the proposed nonlinear state estimation methodology is applied to the state estimation for penicillin and industrial yeast fermentation processes. The simulation results show that the on-fine state estimation for fermentation process can be achieved by the proposed method with higher esti- mation accuracy and better stability.展开更多

For example, the uncertainty of an estimated phase may scale as △φ∝ 1/N2 under quadratic phase accumulation, which is 1/N times smal-ler than the linear counterpart, where N is probe number. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the non-linear quantum metrology by using a spin-I(I 〉 1/2) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) ensemble that can be mapped into a system ofN = 2I spin-1/2 particles and the quadratic interaction can be utilized for the quadratic phase accumulation. Our experimental results show that the phase uncertainty can scale as △φ∝1/(N2-1) by optimizing the input states, when N is an odd number. In addition, the interferomet-tic measurement with quadratic interaction provides a new way for estimating the quadrupolar coupling strength in an NMR system. Our system may be further extended to exotic nonlinear quantum metrology with higher order many-body interactions.展开更多

The scheme is devised by first placing the shares of smaller secret pieces into the shares of the largest secret piece, converting the shares of the largest secret piece into corresponding quantum state sequences, inserting nonorthogonal state particles into the quantum state sequences with the purpose of detecting eavesdropping, and finally sending the new quantum state sequences to the three participants respectively. Consequently, every particle can on average carry up to 1.5-bit messages due to the use of recurrence. The control codes are randomly prepared using the way to generate fountain codes with pre-shared source codes between Alice and Bob, making three participants can detect eavesdropping by themselves without sending classical messages to Alice. Due to the flexible encoding, our scheme is also dynamic, which means that it allows the participants to join and leave freely.展开更多

In the probing process, the correlation of Bell diagonal state, even the state itself, is not disturbed, which means a non-destructive probing. In addition, our scheme can be performed even though the two qubits of the Bell diagonal state are separate in space.展开更多

In our scheme, multiple senders can teleport multiple arbitrary unknown multi-qubit states to a single receiver via a previously shared entanglement state with the help of one or more controllers. Furthermore, our scheme has a very good performance in the measurement and operation complexity, since it only needs to perform Bell state and single-particle measurements and to apply Controlled-Not gate and other single-particle unitary operations. In addition, compared with traditional schemes, our scheme needs less qubits as the quantum resources and exchanges less classical information, and thus obtains higher communication efficiency.展开更多

In our scheme, two photons simultaneously entangled in polarization states and spatial modes are considered. One party performs quantum nondemolition detections on his photon and an additional photon to produce three photon hyperentangled state, then he projects the assistant photon into an orthogonal basis composed of both the polarization and spatial degree of freedom.Then the state of the left two photons collapses into maximally hyperentangled state with a certain probability. In the rest cases, some less-entangled states are obtained, which can be used as resource for the next round concentration. By repeating the concentration process for several rounds, a higher success probability can be obtained, which makes our scheme useful in practical quantum information applications.展开更多
