Ascertaining the influences of auxiliary qubits on the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering and its directions

Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen(EPR) steering is an example of nontrivial quantum nonlocality and characteristic in the non-classical world.The directivity(or asymmetry) is a fascinating trait of EPR steering,and it is different from other quantum nonlocalities.Here,we consider the strategy in which two atoms compose a two-qubit X state,and the two atoms are owned by Alice and Bob,respectively.The atom of Alice suffers from a reservoir,and the atom of Bob couples with a bit flip channel.The influences of auxiliary qubits on EPR steering and its directions are revealed by means of the entropy uncertainty relation.The results indicate that EPR steering declines with growing time t when adding fewer auxiliary qubits.The EPR steering behaves as damped oscillation when introducing more auxiliary qubits in the strong coupling regime.In the weak coupling regime,the EPR steering monotonously decreases as t increases when coupling auxiliary qubits.The increases in auxiliary qubits are responsible for the fact that the steerability from Alice to Bob(or from Bob to Alice) can be more effectively revealed.Notably,the introductions of more auxiliary qubits can change the situation that steerability from Alice to Bob is certain to a situation in which steerability from Bob to Alice is certain.

Visualizing and witnessing first-order coherence,Bell nonlocality and purity by using a quantum steering ellipsoid in the non-inertial frame

A quantum steering ellipsoid(QSE)is a visual characterization for bipartite qubit systems,and it is also a novel avenue for describing and detecting quantum correlations.Herein,by using a QSE,we visualize and witness the first-order coherence(FOC),Bell nonlocality(BN)and purity under non-inertial frames.Also,the collective influences of the depolarizing channel and the non-coherence-generating channel(NCGC)on the FOC,BN and purity are investigated in the QSE formalism.The results reveal that the distance from the center of the QSE to the center of the Bloch sphere visualizes the FOC of a bipartite system,the lengths of the QSE semiaxis visualize the BN,and the QSE's shape and position dominate the purity of the system.One can capture the FOC,BN and purity via the shape and position of the QSE in the non-inertial frame.The depolarizing channel(the NCGC)gives rise to the shrinking and degradation(the periodical oscillation)of the QSE.One can use these traits to visually characterize and detect the FOC,BN and purity under the influence of external noise.Of particular note is that the condition for the QSE to achieve the center of the Bloch sphere cannot be influenced by the depolarizing channel and the NCGC.The characterization shows that the conditions for the disappearance of the FOC are invariant under the additional influences of the depolarizing channel and NCGC.

Steering quantum nonlocalities of quantum dot system suffering from decoherence

The important applications of quantum dot system are to implement logic operations and achieve universal quantum computing based on different quantum nonlocalities.Here,we characterize the quantum steering,Bell nonlocality,and nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence(NAQC)of quantum dot system suffering nonunital and unital channels.The results reveal that quantum steering,Bell nonlocality,and NAQC can display the traits of dissipation,enhancement,and freezing.One can achieve the detections of quantum steering,Bell nonlocality,and NAQC of quantum dot system in different situations.Among these quantum nonlocalities,NAQC is the most fragile,and it is most easily influenced by different system parameters.Furthermore,considering quantum dot system coupling with amplitude damping channel and phase damping channel,these quantum nonlocalities degenerate with the enlargement of the channel parameters t andΓ.Remarkably,measurement reversal can effectively control and enhance quantum steering,Bell nonlocality,and NAQC of quantum dot system suffering from decoherence,especially in the scenarios of the amplitude damping channel and strong operation strength.

WSN Node Applied to Large-Scale Unattended Monitoring

Long-term and stable wireless sensor network(WSN)node′s operation should be included in large-scale unattended industrial production.Here a kind of WSN node applied to multiple large-scale industrial productions is designed by analyzing WSN technologies and its multiple applications,and studying the node′s practical operating environment.A new method for applying image-recognition technology realized initially by using plenty of expensive sensors is proposed to analyze video data.When the node is applied in such situations as unattended operation and field monitoring,solar power generator is adopted to provide energy for the node system by charging a battery.The communication between WSN and background monitoring center is realized by GPRS module,and the operation of node is managed by transplanting μC/OS-Ⅱ into the ARM7 kernel microprocessor.The results show that the WSN node designed in this paper can be applied to control information transmission of wild and unattended large-scale industrial applications with stable and reliable performance.

Effects of Mg doping content and annealing temperature on the structural properties of Zn_(1-x)Mg_xO thin films prepared by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering

The doping content of Mg plays an important role in the crystalline structure and morphology properties of Zn_(1-x )Mg_xO thin films. Here,using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering method,we prepared Zn_(1-x )Mg_xO thin films on single crystalline Si(100) substrates with a series of x values. By means of X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscope(SEM),the crystalline structure and morphology of Zn_(1-x )Mg_xO thin films with different x values are investigated. The crystalline structure of Zn_(1-x )Mg_xO thin film is single phase with x<0.3,while there is phase separation phenomenon with x>0.3,and hexagonal and cubic structures will coexist in Zn_(1-x )Mg_xO thin films with higher x values. Especially with lower x values,a shoulder peak of 35.1° appearing in the XRD pattern indicates a double-crystalline structure of Zn_(1-x )Mg_xO thin film. The crystalline quality has been improved and the inner stress has been released,after the Zn_(1-x )Mg_xO thin films were annealed at 600 °C in vacuum condition.

Interfacial passivation of n-ZnO/p-Si heterojunction by CuI thin layer

The ZnO/Si heterojunction diode can be integrated with the Si process, which has attracted great attention in recent years. However, the large number of interface states at the ZnO/Si heterojunction interface could adversely affect its optoelectronic properties. Here, n-type ZnO thin film was deposited on p-Si substrate for formation of an n-ZnO/p-Si heterojunction substrate. To passivate the ZnO/Si interface, a thin Cul film interface passivation layer was inserted at the ZnO/p-Si heterojunction interface. Electrical characterization such as I-V and C-V characteristic curves confirmed the significant improvement of the heterojunction properties e.g. enhancement of forward current injection, reduction of reverse current and improvement of the rectification ratio. These results showed that the passivation of interface is critical for ZnO/Si heterojunctions.
