Quantum Correlation Coefficients for Angular Coherent States

Quantum covariance and correlation coefficients of angular or SU（2） coherent states are directly calculated for all irreducible unitary representations. These results explicitly verify that the angular coherent states minimize the Robertson-Schrodinger uncertainty relation for all spins, which means that they are the so-called intelligent states. The same results can be obtained by the Schwinger representation approach.

Cryptanalysis of an Improved Flexible Ping-Pong Protocol in Perfect and Imperfect Quantum Channels

We recently proposed a flexible quantum secure direct communication protocol [Chin. Phys. Lett. 23 （2006） 3152]. By analyzing its security in the perfect channel from the aspect of quantum information theory, we find that an eavesdropper is capable of stealing all the information without being detected. Two typical attacks are presented to illustrate this point. A solution to this loophole is also suggested and we show its powerfulness against the most general individual attack in the ideal case. We also discuss the security in the imperfect case when there is noise and loss.

Evolution of a Thermo Vacuum State in a Single-Mode Amplitude Dissipative Channel

We investigate how an initial thermo vacuum state, in the context of thermo field dynamics, evolves in a single-mode amplitude dissipative channel, and find that in this process the thermo squeezing effect decreases while the fictitious-mode vacuum becomes chaotic.

Transformation Operator and Criterion for Perfectly Teleporting Arbitrary Three-Qubit State with Six-Qubit Channel and Bell-State Measurement

Using the method presented recently [Phys.Rev.A 77（2008）014306; Phys.Lett.A 369（2007）377], the transformation operator （TO） is explicitly given for teleporting an arbitrary three-qubit state with a six-qubit channel and Bell-state measurements. A criterion on whether such quantum teleportation can be perfectly realized is educed in terms of TO. Moreover, six instantiations on TO and criterion are concisely shown.

Ground State Eigenfunction of Spheroidal Wave Functions

We study the spin-weighted spheroidal wave functions in the case of s = m = 0. Their eigenvalue problem is investigated by the perturbation method in supersymmetric quantum mechanics. In the first three terms of parameter a = a^2 w^2, the ground eigenvalue and eigenfunction are obtained. The obtained ground eigenfunction is elegantly in dosed forms. These results are new and very useful for the application of the spheroidal wave functions.

Probabilistic Teleportation of Two-Particle State of General Formation in Ion Trap

We propose a scheme for the probabilistic teleportation of an unknown two-particle state of general formation in ion trap. It is shown that one can realize experimentally this teleportation protocol of two-particle state with presently available techniques.

Analytical Solutions of the Manning-Rosen Potential In the Tridiagonal Program

The Schr？dinger equation with the Manning-Rosen potential is studied by working in a complete square integrable basis that carries a tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. In this program, solving the Schr？dinger equation is translated into finding solutions of the resulting three-term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients of the wavefunction. The discrete spectrum of the bound states is obtained by diagonalization of the recursion relation with special choice of the parameters and the wavefunctions is expressed in terms of the Jocobi polynomial.

Generalized Coherent States of a Particle in a Time-Dependent Linear Potential

We derive, with an invariant operator method and unitary transformation approach, that the Schr6dinger equation with a time-dependent linear potential possesses an infinite string of shape-preseving wave-packet states 1φ,λ （t） having classical motion. The qualitative properties of the invariant eigenvalue spectrum （discrete or continuous） are described separately for the different values of the frequency ω of a harmonic oscillator. It is also shown that, for a discrete eigenvalue spectrum, the states 1φ,λ （t） could be obtained from the coherent state 1φ,λ （t）.

Scheme for Generating Cluster States with Charge Qubits in a Cavity

Based on superconducting charge qubits （SCCQs） coupled to a single-mode microwave cavity, we propose a scheme for generating charge cluster states. For all SCCQs, the controlled gate voltages are all in their degeneracy points, the quantum information is encoded in two logic states of charge basis. The generation of the multi-qubit cluster state can be achieved step by step on a pair of nearest-neighbor qubits. Considering effective long-rang coupling, we provide an efficient way to one-step generating of a highly entangled cluster state, in which the qubit-qubit coupling is mediated by the cavity mode. Our quantum operations are insensitive to the initial state of the cavity mode by removing the influence of the cavity mode via the periodical evolution of the system. Thus, our operation may be against the decoherence from the cavity.

Statistical Interaction Term of One-Dimensional Anyon Models

A form of statistical interaction term of one-dimensional anyons is introduced, based on which one-dimensional anyon models are theoretically realized, and the statistical transmutation between bosons （or fermions） and anyons is established in quantum mechanics formalism. Two kinds of anyon models which are being studied are recovered and reexplained naturally in our formalism.

Security Analysis of a Block Encryption Algorithm Based on Dynamic Sequences of Multiple Chaotic Systems

Recently, the cryptosystem based on chaos has attracted much attention. Wang and Yu （Commun. Nonlin. Sci. Numer. Simulat. 14（2009）574） proposed a block encryption algorithm based on dynamic sequences of multiple chaotic systems. We analyze the potential flaws in the algorithm. Then, a chosen-plaintext attack is presented. Some remedial measures are suggested to avoid the flaws effectively. Furthermore, an improved encryption algorithm is proposed to resist the attacks＂ and to keep all the merits of the original cryptosystem.

Correlations Existing in Three-Qubit Product States

Analytic results of the relationship between local noncommutativity and non-violations of Svetlichny inequalities for three-qubit separable states are obtained. It is shown that the converse trade-off relations presented by Seevinck and Uffinck [Phys. Rev. A 2007 76 042105] do not always hold for three-qubit states, and that there exists some correlation even though the state is the simple product state.

Bound and Resonant States of the Hulthén Potential Investigated by Using the Complex Scaling Method with the Oscillator Basis

Bound and resonant states of the Hulthén potential are studied. The complex scaling method is used to achieve the energy spectrum. The oscillator basis is used to expand the radial wave function. Conforming to the standard feature of the complex scaling method, the bound energies do not change and the continuums change with the rotational angle. With tables and graphs, the interesting properties of the energy spectrum for various physical parameters are presented. The Gauss quadrature integral approximation is used to deal with the potential integral term.

Control of a Cloud of Laser-Cooled ^40Ca^＋ in a Linear Ion Trap

A cloud of laser-cooled ^40Ca^＋ is successfully trapped and manipulated under well control in our home-built linear ion trap, which is designed and constructed solely for studying quantum information processing. By exploring the variation of the ion cloud with respect to the trap parameters, we have optimized the trapping condition and obtained very good fluorescence spectra. We observe the dynamics of the ion cloud, and estimate the temperature of the ion cloud to be of the order of milli-Kelvin.
