Protecting the entanglement of two-qubit over quantum channels with memory via weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal

Based on the quantum technique of the weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal(WMR),we propose a scheme to protect entanglement for an entangled two-qubit pure state from four typical quantum noise channels with memory,i.e.,the amplitude damping channel,the phase damping channel,the bit flip channel,and the depolarizing channel.For a given initial state |Ψ>=a |00>+d|11>,it is found that the WMR operation indeed helps to protect entanglement from the above four quantum channels with memory,and the protection effect of WMR scheme is better when the coefficient a is small.For the other initial state |φ>=b|01>+c|10>,the effect of the protection scheme is the same regardless of the coefficient b and the WMR operation can protect entanglement in the amplitude damping channel with memory.Moreover,the protection of entanglement in quantum noise channels without memory in contrast to the results of the channels with memory is more effective.For |Ψ> or |φ>,we also find that the memory parameters play a significant role in the suppression of entanglement sudden death and the initial entanglement can be drastically amplified.Another more important result is that the relationship between the concurrence,the memory parameter,the weak measurement strength,and quantum measurement reversal strength is found through calculation and discussion.It provides a strong basis for the system to maintain maximum entanglement in the nosie channel.

Enhancing the precision of phase estimation by weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal

The enhancement of the precision of phase estimation in quantum metrology is investigated by employing weak measurement （WM） and quantum measurement reversal （QMR）. We derive the exact expressions of the optimal quantum Fisher information （QFI） and success probability of phase estimation for an exactly solving model consisting of a qubit interacting with a structured reservoir. We show that the QFI can be obviously enhanced by means of the WM and QMR in different regimes. In addition, we also show that the magnitude of the decoherence involved in the WM and QMR can be a general complex number, which extends the applicable scope of the WM and QMR approach.

Protected simultaneous quantum remote state preparation scheme by weak and reversal measurements in noisy environments

We discuss a quantum remote state preparation protocol by which two parties, Alice and Candy, prepare a single-qubit and a two-qubit state, respectively, at the site of the receiver Bob. The single-qubit state is known to Alice while the two-qubit state which is a non-maximally entangled Bell state is known to Candy. The three parties are connected through a single entangled state which acts as a quantum channel. We first describe the protocol in the ideal case when the entangled channel under use is in a pure state. After that, we consider the effect of amplitude damping(AD) noise on the quantum channel and describe the protocol executed through the noisy channel. The decrement of the fidelity is shown to occur with the increment in the noise parameter. This is shown by numerical computation in specific examples of the states to be created. Finally, we show that it is possible to maintain the label of fidelity to some extent and hence to decrease the effect of noise by the application of weak and reversal measurements. We also present a scheme for the generation of the five-qubit entangled resource which we require as a quantum channel. The generation scheme is run on the IBMQ platform.

Promote entanglement trapping in photonic band gaps

We study the entanglement trapping of two entangled qubits, each of which is in its own photonic band gap, based on the weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal. An almost maximal entanglement of the two-qubit system can be trapped by using a certain weak measurement strength. Furthermore, we find that the optimal entanglement enhancing is not only dependent on the weak measurement strength but also on the different initial states. The outcomes in our scheme are completely different from that without any measurement on the studied system.

Protecting Distribution Entanglement by Weak Measurement and Reversal under Various Decoherence Sources

Protection of entanglement from disturbance of the environment is an essential task in quantum information processing. We examine the validity and limitation of the weak measurement and reversal(WMR) operation in the protection of distributed entanglement from various decoherence sources. Since the entanglement variation can be investigated analytically for an arbitrarily entangled bipartite pure state under three kinds of typical noisy quantum channels, we show explicitly that the WMR operation indeed helps for protecting distributed entanglement from amplitude damping and phase damping, but not for depolarizing. Experimental feasibility for testing our results is discussed using current laboratory techniques.

Reversion of weak-measured quantum entanglement state

We theoretically study the reversible process of quantum entanglement state by means of weak measurement and corresponding reversible operation.We present a protocol of the reversion operation in two bodies based on the theory of reversion of single photon and then expend it in quantum communication channels.The theoretical results demonstrate that the protocol does not break the information transmission after a weak measurement and a reversible measurement with the subsequent process in the transmission path.It can reverse the perturbed entanglement intensity evolution to its original state.Under the condition of different weak measurement intensity the protocol can reverse the perturbed quantum entanglement system perfectly.In the process we can get the classical information described by information gain from the quantum system through weak measurement operation.On the other hand,in order to realize complete reversibility,the classical information of the quantum entanglement system must obey a limited range we present in this paper in the reverse process.

Quantum Fisher information of a qubit-qutrit system in Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger dilation space–time

We investigate the quantum Fisher information(QFI) of a qubit-qutrit system in the background of Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger dilation black hole. After deriving the analytical expression of the QFI, we examine its dynamics with respect to the dilation parameter D and the state parameter γ of the system. Our results show that the QFI for the estimation of γ is a fixed value,which is independent of the parameters D and γ. And the QFI for the estimation of D varies with the parameters D and γ. Additionally, we propose an effective strategy to steer the QFI by introducing weak measurement reversal. We find that the QFI can be remarkably enhanced by adjusting the appropriate reversing measurement strengths. Our findings might provide some useful insights for the study on parameter estimation of hybrid systems in the framework of relativity theory.
