Teleportation of Two-Particle Entangled State via Cluster State

In this paper, two schemes for teleporting an unknown two-particle entangled state from the sender （Alice） to the receiver （Bob） via a four-particle entangled cluster state are proposed. In these two schemes, the unknown twoparticle entangled state can be teleported perfectly. The successful probabilities and fidelities of the schemes can reach unity.

Probabilistic Teleportation of Two—Particle State of General Formation

A scheme for probabilistic teleporting an unknown two-particle state of general formation by partly pure entangled four-particle state is proposed. It is shown that after performing two Bell state measurements, proper unitary transformation and the measurement on an auxiliary qubit, the unknown two-particle state of general formation, which was destroyed at one place, can be reconstructed at another place with certain probability.

Controlled Teleportation of an Unknown N-qubit Entangled GHZ State

A scheme for controlled teleportation of an unknown N-qubit entangled GHZ state from the sender Alice to the distant receiver Bob is proposed. And m-qubit GHZ state is sufficient for the task of control by m spatially- separated supervisors. Conditioned on the local operations executed by all participants, Bob can faithfully restore the original state by performing relevant unitary transformations with the aid of some classical message about measurement results. Anyone＇s absence will absolutely lead to the failure of teleportation.

Scheme for Generalized Quantum State Sharing of a Single-Qubit State in Cavity QED

An experimentally feasible scheme for generalized quantum state sharing of an arbitrary unknown single- qubit state in cavity QED is presented. Using a generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger （GHZ） state as the quantum channel among the three parties, the quantum information （i.e. the single-qubit state） from the sender can be split in such a way that the information can be recovered if and only if both receivers collaborate. Moreover, the scheme is insensitive to both the effects of thermal field and cavity decay.

A novel scheme of hybrid entanglement swapping and teleportation using cavity QED in the small and large detuning regimes and quasi-Bell state measurement method

We outline a scheme for entanglement swapping based on cavity QED as well as quasi-Bell state measurement(quasiBSM) methods. The atom–field interaction in the cavity QED method is performed in small and large detuning regimes.We assume two atoms are initially entangled together and, distinctly two cavities are prepared in an entangled coherent–coherent state. In this scheme, we want to transform entanglement to the atom-field system. It is observed that, the fidelities of the swapped entangled state in the quasi-BSM method can be compatible with those obtained in the small and large detuning regimes in the cavity QED method(the condition of this compatibility will be discussed). In addition, in the large detuning regime, the swapped entangled state is obtained by detecting and quasi-BSM approaches. In the continuation,by making use of the atom–field entangled state obtained in both approaches in a large detuning regime, we show that the atomic as well as field states teleportation with complete fidelity can be achieved.

Probabilistic joint remote preparation of a high-dimensional equatorial quantum state

This paper proposes a scheme for probabilistic joint remote preparation of an arbitrary high-dimensional equatorial quantum state by using high-dimensional single-particle orthogonal projective measurement and appropriate unitary operation. As a special case, a scheme of joint remote preparation of a single-qutrit equatorial state is presented in detail. The scheme is also generalized to the multi-party high-dimensional case. It shows that, only if when all the senders collaborate with each other, the receiver can reconstruct the original state with a certain probability.

Quantum Secure Communication by Using GHZ State in High-Dimensional Hilbert Space

We propose a quantum superdense coding secure communication scheme by using GHZ state.This scheme combines the ideas of quantum superdense coding and sequence transmission.Its distinct advantage is high source capacity.In addition,in checking eavesdropping,we need not to destroy quantum entanglement.

Magnetic Field Measurement with Heisenberg Limit Based on Solid Spin NOON State

The maximum entangled number state （NOON state） can improve the sensitivity of physical quantity measure- ment to the Heisenberg limit 1/N. In this work, the magnetic field measurement based on the individual solid spin NOON state is investigated. Based on the tunable effective coupling coefficient, we propose a generation scheme of the three-spin NOON state, i.e, the Creenberger-Horne-Zeilinger （CHZ） state, and discussed the mea- surement resolution reduction due to decoherence. It is unnecessary to entangle spins as many as possible when decoherence exists. In practice, defect spins in diamond and alp donors with long coherence time can be applied with current techniques in the nano-scaled high resolution magnetic measurement.

Measurement-device-independent one-step quantum secure direct communication

The one-step quantum secure direct communication(QSDC)(Sci.Bull.67,367(2022))can effectively simplify QSDC’s operation and reduce message loss.For enhancing its security under practical experimental condition,we propose two measurement-device-independent(MDI)one-step QSDC protocols,which can resist all possible attacks from imperfect measurement devices.In both protocols,the communication parties prepare identical polarization-spatial-mode two-photon hyperentangled states and construct the hyperentanglement channel by hyperentanglement swapping.The first MDI one-step QSDC protocol adopts the nonlinear-optical complete hyperentanglement Bell state measurement(HBSM)to construct the hyperentanglement channel,while the second protocol adopts the linear-optical partial HBSM.Then,the parties encode the photons in the polarization degree of freedom and send them to the third party for the hyperentanglementassisted complete polarization Bell state measurement.Both protocols are unconditionally secure in theory.The simulation results show the MDI one-step QSDC protocol with complete HBSM attains the maximal communication distance of about354 km.Our MDI one-step QSDC protocols may have potential applications in the future quantum secure communication field.

A Trusted Measurement Scheme Suitable for the Clients in the Trusted Network

The trusted network connection is a hot spot in trusted computing field and the trust measurement and access control technology are used to deal with network security threats in trusted network.But the trusted network connection lacks fine-grained states and real-time measurement support for the client and the authentication mechanism is difficult to apply in the trusted network connection,it is easy to cause the loss of identity privacy.In order to solve the abovedescribed problems,this paper presents a trust measurement scheme suitable for clients in the trusted network,the scheme integrates the following attributes such as authentication mechanism,state measurement,and real-time state measurement and so on,and based on the authentication mechanism and the initial state measurement,the scheme uses the realtime state measurement as the core method to complete the trust measurement for the client.This scheme presented in this paper supports both static and dynamic measurements.Overall,the characteristics of this scheme such as fine granularity,dynamic,real-time state measurement make it possible to make more fine-grained security policy and therefore it overcomes inadequacies existing in the current trusted network connection.

Quantum Secure Direct Communication and Quantum Sealed-Bid Auction with EPR Pairs

I present a new protocol for three-party quantum secure direct communication （QSDC） with a set of ordered M Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen （EPR） pairs. In the scheme, by performing two unitary operations and Bell state measurements, it is shown that the three legitimate parties can exchange their respective secret message simultaneously. Then I modify it for an experimentally feasible and secure quantum sealed-bid auction （QSBD） protocol. Furthermore, I also analyze th^ecurity of the protocol, and the scheme is proven to be secure against the intercept-and-resend attack, the disturbancb attack and the entangled-and-measure attack.

Best linear unbiased estimation algorithm with Doppler measurements in spherical coordinates

In an active radar-tracking system,the target-motion model is usually modeled in the Cartesian coordinates,while the radar measurement usually is obtained in polar/spherical coordinates.Therefore the target-tracking problem in the Cartesian coordinates becomes a nonlinear state estimation problem.A number of measurement-conversion techniques,which are based on position measurements,are widely used such that the Kalman filter can be used in the Cartesian coordinates.However,they have fundamental limitations to result in filtering performance degradation.In fact,in addition to position measurements,the Doppler measurement or range rate,containing information of target velocity,has the potential capability to improve the tracking performance.A filter is proposed that can use converted Doppler measurements（i.e.the product of the range measurements and Doppler measurements） in the Cartesian coordinates.The novel filter is theoretically optimal in the rule of the best linear unbiased estimation among all linear unbiased filters in the Cartesian coordinates,and is free of the fundamental limitations of the measurement-conversion approach.Based on simulation experiments,an approximate,recursive implementation of the novel filter is compared with those obtained by four state-of-the-art conversion techniques recently.Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed filter.

Ultrafast population transfer in a Λ-configuration level system driven by few-cycle laser pulses

The feasibility of population transfer from a populated level via an intermediate state to the target level driven by few-cycle pulses is theoretically discussed. The processes of on- or far-resonance stimulated Raman scattering with sequential or simultaneous ultrashort pulses are investigated respectively. We find that the ultrashort pulses with about two optical cycles can be used to realize the population operation. This suggests that the population transfer can be completed in the femtosecond time scale. At the same time, our simulation shows that the signal of the carrier-envelope-phase-dependent effect can be enlarged due to quantum interference in some conditions. Our theoretic study may promote the research on the coherent control via ultrashort pulses in the related fields.

Quantum information splitting of a two-qubit Bell state using a four-qubit entangled state

A scheme is proposed for quantum information splitting of a two-qubit Bell state by using a four-qubit entangled state as a quantum channel. In the scenario, it is supposed that there axe three legitimate parties, say Alice, Bob and Chaxlie. Alice is the sender of quantum information. Bob and Charlie are two agents. Alice first performs GHZ state measurement and tells Bob and Chaxlie the measurement results via a classical channel. It is impossible for Bob to reconstruct the original state with local operations unless help is obtained from Chaxlie. If Chaxlie allows Bob to reconstruct the original state information, he needs to perform a single-qubit measurement and tell Bob the measurement result. Using the measurement results from Alice and Charlie, Bob can reconstruct the original state. We also consider the problem of security attacks. This protocol is considered to be secure.

Deterministic Teleportation Channel Using Bell State Measurements Only

Teleportation schemes based on probabilistic channels usually rely heavily on the implementation of high-dimensional unitary operations. Since high-dimensional unitary operations are very difficult to directly implement in physics experiments, methods are used to avoid high-dimensional unitary operations during the teleportation process. This paper describes how to construct a deterministic teleportation channel and a control channel using Bell state measurements only instead of high-dimensional unitary operations. Here, the general four-particle and five-particle class states are used as the potential quantum channel and the control channel for deterministic teleportation even without access to the relevant parameters. The results show that this scheme makes physical realization of teleportation more reasonable.

Probabilistic Teleportation of Three-Atom State via Five-Atom Cluster State

A scheme for probabilistic teleportation of an unknown three-atom entangled state via a five-atom non- maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel is proposed. In this scheme, the sender performs two Bell state and a single-atom measurements on the atoms, the receiver can reconstruct the original state with a certain probability by introducing an auxiliary atom and operating appropriate unitary transformations and controlled-not （C-not） operations according to the sender Alice＇s measurement results. As a result, the probability of successful teleportation is determined by the smallest two of the coefficients＇ absolute values of the cluster state. The considerable advantage of our scheme is that we employ a non-maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel in the scheme, which can greatly reduce the amount of entanglement resources and need less classical bits. If we employ a maximally entangled cluster state as quantum channel, the probabilistic teleportation scheme becomes usual teleportation, the successful probability being 100%.

Direct measurement for general quantum states using parametric quantum circuits

In the field of quantum information,the acquisition of information for unknown quantum states is very important.When we only need to obtain specific elements of a state density matrix,the traditional quantum state tomography will become very complicated,because it requires a global quantum state reconstruction.Direct measurement of the quantum state allows us to obtain arbitrary specific matrix elements of the quantum state without state reconstruction,so direct measurement schemes have obtained extensive attention.Recently,some direct measurement schemes based on weak values have been proposed,but extra auxiliary states in these schemes are necessary and it will increase the complexity of the practical experiment.Meanwhile,the post-selection process in the scheme will reduce the utilization of resources.In order to avoid these disadvantages,a direct measurement scheme without auxiliary states is proposed in this paper.In this scheme,we achieve the direct measurement of quantum states by using quantum circuits,then we extend it to the measurement of general multi-particle states and complete the error analysis.Finally,when we take into account the dephasing of the quantum states,we modify the circuits and the modified circuits still work for the dephasing case.

Efficient preparation of a four-photon cluster state with homodyne measurement via cross-Kerr nonlinearity

A scheme is proposed for generating a multiphoton entangled cluster state among four modes. The scheme only uses Kerr medium, beam splitter and homodyne measurements on coherent light fields, which can be efficiently made in quantum optical laboratories. The photon in the signal mode is prepared in a superposition state of the vacuum state and one-photon state while the probe beam is initially set in a coherent state superposition. The strong probe mode interacts successively with multiple signal-mode photons, each causing a conditional phase rotation in the probe mode. Subsequent momentum quadrature homodyne measurement of the probe mode will project the photons in the signal mode into the desired entangled states. It is shown that under certain conditions, the four-photon cluster state can be generated with high fidelity and high success probability, and the scheme is feasible by current experimental technology.

Quantum entanglement swapping of two arbitrary biqubit pure states

In this paper, the issue of swapping quantum entanglements in two arbitrary biqubit pure states via a local bipartite entangledstate projective measure in the middle node is studied in depth, especially with regard to quantitative aspects. Attention is mainly focused on the relation between the measure and the final entanglement obtained via swapping. During the study, the entanglement of formation(EoF) is employed as a quantifier to characterize and quantify the entanglements present in all involved states. All concerned EoFs are expressed analytically; thus, the relation between the final entanglement and the measuring state is established.Through concrete analyses, the measure demands for getting a certain amount of a final entanglement are revealed. It is found that a maximally entangled final state can be obtained from any two given initial entangled states via swapping with a certain probability;however, a peculiar measure should be performed. Moreover, some distinct properties are revealed and analyzed. Such a study will be useful in quantum information processes.
