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.

Quantum Remote State Preparation Based on Quantum Network Coding

As an innovative theory and technology,quantum network coding has become the research hotspot in quantum network communications.In this paper,a quantum remote state preparation scheme based on quantum network coding is proposed.Comparing with the general quantum remote state preparation schemes,our proposed scheme brings an arbitrary unknown quantum state finally prepared remotely through the quantum network,by designing the appropriate encoding and decoding steps for quantum network coding.What is worth mentioning,from the network model,this scheme is built on the quantum k-pair network which is the expansion of the typical bottleneck network—butterfly network.Accordingly,it can be treated as an efficient quantum network preparation scheme due to the characteristics of network coding,and it also makes the proposed scheme more applicable to the large-scale quantum networks.In addition,the fact of an arbitrary unknown quantum state remotely prepared means that the senders do not need to know the desired quantum state.Thus,the security of the proposed scheme is higher.Moreover,this scheme can always achieve the success probability of 1 and 1-max flow of value k.Thus,the communication efficiency of the proposed scheme is higher.Therefore,the proposed scheme turns out to be practicable,secure and efficient,which helps to effectively enrich the theory of quantum remote state preparation.

Preparation of multi-photon Fock states and quantum entanglement properties in circuit QED

We demonstrate the controllable generation of multi-photon Fock states in circuit quantum electrodynamics （circuit QED）. The external bias flux regulated by a counter can effectively adjust the bias time on each superconducting flux qubit so that each flux qubit can pass in turn through the circuit cavity and thereby avoid the effect of decoherence. We further investigate the quantum correlation dynamics of coupling superconducting qubits in a Fock state. The results reveal that the lower the photon number of the light field in the number state, the stronger the interaction between qubits is, then the more beneficial to maintaining entanglement between qubits it will be.

Controllable preparation of two-mode entangled coherent states in circuit QED

Although the multi-level structure of superconducting qubits may result in calculation errors, it can be rationally used to effectively improve the speed of gate operations. Utilizing a current-biased Josephson junction （A-type rf-SQUID） as a tunable coupler for superconducting transmission line resonators （TLRs）, under the large detuning condition, we demonstrate the controllable generation of entangled coherent states in circuit quantum electrodynamics （circuit QED）. The coupling between the TLRs and the qubit can be effectively regulated by an external bias current or coupling capacitor. Further investigations indicate that the maximum entangled state can be obtained through measuring the excited state of the superconducting qubits. Then, the influence of the TLR [tecay on the prepared entangled states is analyzed.
